Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Marvin Harrison Jr., Ashton Jeanty, Kyle Pitts

Week 5 is here, and by now, some fantasy football teams look like championship contenders while others resemble a clearance rack at a discount store. The good news? It’s not too late to wheel and deal. Whether you’re trying to buy low on an underperformer before they bounce back, or cashing out on a player whose hot streak looks more like smoke than fire, our Featured Pros have you covered. Here’s who the experts think you should be targeting — and who you should be shopping — before the Week 5 slate kicks off.

Players to Buy Low & Sell High in Week 5

Buy Low

Who is your favorite buy-low trade candidate heading into Week 5 and why? Also, who are you willing to give up for him?

Kyle Pitts Sr. (TE – ATL)

“Kyle Pitts remains the ideal ‘buy-low’ target because his manager’s two-year frustration has finally produced some success, making them eager to ‘sell high’ off the back of his Week 4 performance. This is the perfect trade window to execute a forward-thinking deal, considering that his value is about to be suppressed by an upcoming Week 5 bye and the following brutal matchups against the Bills and 49ers. After Week 8, though, he’s a ‘set-and-forget’ down the straight. The managers that are locked in will look past the short-term schedule, betting instead on his elite, solid usage and highly favourable fantasy playoff slate to deliver high-end TE1 production.”

Sell High

Who is your favorite sell-high candidate after Week 4 and why? Also, who would you try to get in return?

Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – ARI)

“I would be looking to trade Marvin Harrison Jr. The receiver bounced back largely in the second half against the Seattle Seahawks, propelling him to a WR14 finish, but it is hard to ignore the first three weeks of the season. The Cardinals’ offense remains shaky, ranking 28th in passing yards. So, if you could sell Marvin Harrison Jr. high after this week, I would. Rashee Rice is the first name that comes to mind if the team’s manager desperately needs some wins. Quentin Johnston and Jaylen Waddle are two other names to look for in a trade.”
– Ryan Prosick (Fantrax)

Ashton Jeanty (RB – LV)

“I am looking to seek Ashton Jeanty wherever I can. After a breakout performance this past week, everyone is saying “he’s back” and expecting big performances moving forward. The issue is that the Las Vegas Raiders’ offensive line is still really bad. He can’t be expected to break four tackles a carry every game, so I expect his output to go back to normal moving forward.”
