Players to Buy Low & Sell High in Week 7
Buy Low
A.J. Brown (WR – PHI)
“A.J. Brown’s stakeholders are no doubt frustrated with the way the season has gone and should be willing to field reasonable offers. Brown is averaging 45.7 receiving yards per game, has one touchdown and was sitting at WR47 in half-PPR fantasy points per game as of Monday morning. I’d be willing to offer Alvin Kamara or Travis Etienne Jr. for Brown.”

Saquon Barkley (RB – PHI)
“My favorite fantasy football buy-low trade candidate heading into Week 7 is Saquon Barkley. After his Week 6 Thursday Night Football performance, many a fantasy league manager is regretting taking Barkley as high as they did in fantasy league drafts this year. He has been a top-17 back in all six games this season. Philadelphia had to play from behind against the New York Giants in Week 6, resulting in fewer rushing attempts. You can also inform your league trading partner that Barkley has an upcoming Week 9 bye to help you sell the trade offer. I’d be willing to give up a third- or fourth-round player that is currently exceeding their draft day value.”

Sell High
Rico Dowdle (RB – CAR)
“Rico Dowdle is on fire. In the last two weeks, he has run for 206 and 183 yards. Do remember that those games were against the Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys, two of the worst teams against the run. Regardless of how well Dowdle has played, Chubba Hubbard, who was having a pretty good season himself and just signed a big contract, will be returning soon. I do not expect Dowdle to disappear, but I can see this backfield becoming a 50/50 split or even playing the hot hand each game, which could change week to week depending on who has the open hole on an early drive. Dowdle’s value will not be higher than it is now. Trade him for running backs who people are lower on, but have the backfield to themself like Derrick Henry (maybe too late), Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Javonte Williams or trade him for an injured back like Bucky Irving, who should be back soon.”
– Adam Dove (The Fantasy Couriers)
“Rico Dowdle. In the last two weeks combined, Dowdle has had 53 carries for 389 yards and two total scores. It is a nice story, absolutely, but the reality is Chuba Hubbard will be back for Carolina soon. Will the return of Hubbard make things messy in the Carolina backfield? Absolutely. Carolina paid Hubbard last season, so any thought of Dowdle coming in and becoming the new number one back is ridiculous, at best. If Dowdle could be packaged to acquire a Mike Evans, who will be returning this week, or a Derrick Henry, who is on bye, go for it and cash in.”
