Players to Sell High in Week 12
Sell
Who is your favorite sell-high candidate after Week 11 and why? Also, who would you try to get in return?
Sean Tucker (RB – TB)
“The stars aligned for Sean Tucker in Week 11. Bucky Irving missed his sixth straight game, and the fantasy gods chose to ignore Rachaad White. This allowed Tucker, a third-year back, to hit big with 140 total yards and three scores against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. The L.A. Rams, next week’s opponent for the Bucs, allow the fourth-fewest fantasy points to running backs, so I’m selling Tucker if a solid offer comes my way.”
– Matt De Lima (Athlon Sports)
“Bucs RB Sean Tucker and Cards WR Michael Wilson had their legacy games last week, not gonna happen again. Take advantage while you can.”
– Justin Jaksa (Dr. Roto)
Zay Flowers (WR – BAL)
“I implore you to sell Zay Flowers. For some reason, Zay is over-ranked every single week. Every single week, we expect more than 80 yards. Every single week, we think this is the week he scores another touchdown. It never happens. If we exclude Week 1’s outlier performance, Zay is just the PPR WR29. If we add in that week, he’s just WR25. I’m selling on name value and what is perceived to be the best-possible fantasy schedule for WRs down the stretch. Go get a startable RB like Rico Dowdle, who also has a nice schedule ahead, or see if you can trade into a Stefon Diggs or maybe even Michael Pittman off of a poor outing and a bye week.”
– Jeremy Shulman (Fantasy Football Universe)
Kimani Vidal (RB – LAC)
“Kimani Vidal. Vidal was ranked as a top-20 RB in Week 11 and sputtered to five carries for 13 yards. While that’s an extreme performance, there’s reason to think more bad games are in his future with the Eagles, Chiefs, and Texans (Week 17). Throw in a Week 12 bye, and there aren’t many times Vidal is going to help your team to the playoffs or in the playoffs behind the Chargers’ offensive line. Get someone else and hope your leaguemate is still impressed by prior performances.”
– Adam Zdroik (RotoWire)
Bryce Young (QB – CAR)
“To be honest, unless owners are in dynasty leagues looking toward the future, teams should hold onto any players who are booming at this point in the season. That being said, if owners want to make bank on a player at the moment, that player is Bryce Young. He probably had his career week against the Falcons with 448 yards passing and three touchdowns! That is on the heels of 124 yards and zero touchdowns against the Saints! Find the superflex owner who wants lightning in a bottle and sell Bryce Young now! Sell him for anything, literally any starter that can be obtained to help boost your playoff team! Then, have that owner toss in a QB2 like Joe Flacco or Tyrod Taylor, both of whom will probably be starters for the rest of the year due to fledgling teams and injuries.”
– Adam Dove (The Fantasy Couriers)
Rico Dowdle (RB – CAR)
“Despite playing the soft Falcons and Saints defenses since Week 10, Rico Dowdle is averaging 2.6 yards per carry. He has been a huge spark to the Panthers this season. However, he only usurped Chuba Hubbard due to a calf injury. Hubbard is now further removed from the injury and likely fresh down the stretch if the Panthers decide to work him back into the offense. Carolina also has a tough fantasy playoff schedule in Weeks 16 and 17 against the Buccaneers and Seahawks, both of whom rank in the top eight against the run. If you can get the aforementioned Emeka Egbuka for him or even Brock Bowers if TE is a need, do so immediately.”
– Kev Mahserejian (Razzball)
Deebo Samuel Sr. (WR – SF)
“Deebo Samuel is coming off two great weeks and his second-best performance of the year. Terry McLaurin should be back soon, and there is just not a lot to go around on this offense right now. Deebo just scored a touchdown and looked good in an island game. Use that to your advantage and move him before his schedule toughens up and Terry McLaurin returns. Assuming Deebo is not one of your starting WRs, I would use him to improve a Flex position. If you need a Quarterback, trade for a Joe Burrow for the fantasy football playoffs or buy low on Oronde Gadsden II.”
– David Heilman (Sports Gambling Podcast Network)
Tetairoa McMillan (WR – CAR)
“Tetairoa McMillan has been great, but this is a sneaky sell window. He’s coming off a monster game and sits as the WR9 in PPR, yet that was only his second 100-yard outing, and he has five games with 60 yards and under. If you’re fighting for a playoff spot, his Week 14 bye could cost you. Flip T-Mac now for a difference-maker like Justin Jefferson, who has a strong fantasy playoff schedule. You could also target RB help by buying low on a frustrated Saquon Barkley manager. If needed, package McMillan with a depth piece to seal the deal.”
– Kyle Zeigler (Fantasy In Frames)
“My favorite sell-high candidate after Week 11 is Tetairoa McMillan (WR-CAR). He finished week 11 as the top fantasy points producer at the wide receiver position with 29 fantasy points. This was his first top 10 finish of the season, and the trade value is at an all-time high for Tetairoa. If you look at his upcoming fantasy football playoff schedule, he has two tough matchups. He faces Tampa in Week 16 and at Seattle in Week 17.”
– Jeff Boggis (Fantasy Football Empire)
Tee Higgins (WR – CIN)
“Tee Higgins. I recognize that this probably isn’t the best time to put this out there, on the heels of the Ja’Marr Chase suspension news, but it’s only one game. So once Chase comes back, Higgins’ targets will almost surely go down. Reports are saying that Joe Burrow should be returning sooner rather than later, but if the Bengals keep losing over the next couple of weeks, will Burrow feel the need to even come back after all? I think you can get a really solid RB2 for Tee Higgins right now, just because of the Chase suspension news and all the hype surrounding Joe Burrow‘s return at the moment.”
– Aidan Weingartner (Fantasy In Frames)
Quinshon Judkins (RB – CLE)
“I’ve noticed that a lot of Quinshon Judkins stakeholders have been trying to trade him, and it’s easy to see why. Judkins’ value reached its zenith when he lit up the Dolphins for three touchdowns in Week 5. Since then, he’s averaged 3.2 yards per carry and has been the RB24 in half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Judkins’ playoff schedule (Titans, Bears, Bills) will entice potential buyers, but the Browns’ offense is such a sinkhole that Judkins might have trouble capitalizing on favorable matchups. I’d take Tee Higgins, Chris Olave, or Tyler Warren for Judkins.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)
TreVeyon Henderson (RB – NE)
“TreVeyon Henderson feels like the obvious answer here. His RB3 finish in Week 11 was outstanding, especially following his RB4 finish in Week 10. He faces the terrible Bengals defense in Week 12, which helps you paint a picture that he’s going to go off yet again. The schedule may be favorable, but touchdowns are not predictable, and that’s where the majority of his points have come from recently. I’m selling Henderson’s touchdowns for volume. I would try to package Henderson and a bench player for someone at the top, like Jonathan Taylor or Bijan Robinson, both of whom have had their byes while Henderson has not (Week 14). Maybe they will see the addition of depth as a worthy tradeoff to tier down to Henderson, who has been going off lately.”
– Andrew Hall (FantasyPros)
“Maybe this is being naive, but I still don’t believe that the Patriots are willing to hand the keys to the offense to TreVeyon Henderson. Let me be clear, they SHOULD, but that does not mean they will. Rhamondre Stevenson could be close to a return this week against the Bengals, and the fear will be that Mike Vrabel wants to incorporate Stevenson with Henderson. Simply put, Stevenson and Henderson in a committee would cap the upside of Henderson despite the fact that Henderson is by far and away the better back of the two at this stage of their respective careers. If Henderson could be dealt, after his incredible two weeks, in a package to land a stud such as Emeka Egbuka, James Cook, or in a package deal to land a Jahmyr Gibbs or a Ja’Marr Chase, even with the suspension, do it.”
– Ed Birdsall (Talking Points Sports)
Christian Watson (WR – GB)
“Christian Watson Green Bay Packers and TreVeyon Henderson NE Patriots – I wanted to say Travis Kelce, but I don’t think the “comeback kid” narrative rings true in anyone’s mind, making it difficult to convince anyone to buy-high. Watson, on the other hand, could be sold as a rags-to-riches narrative. He’s an explosive athlete who hasn’t played enough ball in 2025 for people to feel like he’s been a bust, even though he has. Nothing about his season, or his week #11 performance, screams “breakout” down the stretch, but he was a nobody that had a “somebody” day with 18 Fantasy points in Week #11. My problem is that selling high on Watson won’t bring the kind of return worth the carpal tunnel cost to negotiate. That’s why I throw this at you. I love TreyVeyon Henderson. His touches, his targets, and his Fantasy production have been rising, and it’s been HUGE in recent weeks. Add his ascension, his increase in touches and targets, and his explosiveness to the fact that he faces the three worst defenses in football in Points allowed to running backs in the next four weeks, and that makes for a tasty opportunity. Henderson could be a total beast to finish the Fantasy season. I want to acquire AND sell Henderson at the same time. If you have an owner who sees Henderson as a sell-high – BUY IT. Sell anyone who isn’t a Top 15 pick to acquire him. He could be the best player in Fantasy football the next four weeks (he is on bye in week #14). However, if you can acquire Christian McCaffrey or Bijan Robinson or De’Von Achane, even Jaxon Smith-Njigba, then, as painful and as risky as it could be, I’d bite the bullet to add the safe, reliable first-round pick veteran rather than the rookie entering into the longest season of football in his life. One last nugget. While TreyVeyon Henderson has one of the easiest four-week stretches to finish the Fantasy season, Jonathan Taylor has one of the toughest. I’d bet Henderson outscores Taylor in the three weeks they both play. Taylor is the Fantasy League MVP. Henderson is going to be the Fantasy playoffs MVP and win owners’ championships. Got the cojones to sell Taylor for Henderson? Hmmmmm. Happy hunting.”

Stefon Diggs (WR – NE)
“My favorite sell-high candidate is Stefon Diggs. Coming off a solid performance on Thursday night against the New York Jets, Diggs has improved his output as of late. With that in mind, I don’t know how long that’ll last. Not only does he have a Week 14 bye, which will hurt any fantasy team in the playoff hunt, but his schedule gets much harder once the fantasy playoffs start as well.”
– Trevor Land (FlurrySports)
Michael Wilson (WR – ARI)
“You know about Michael Wilson’s 15-185 line against San Francisco. Of course, he was boosted by a few factors, including the absence of Marvin Harrison Jr., a trailing game script, and a record-setting 47 completions from Jacoby Brissett. There’s a chance Harrison will miss another game following an appendectomy, but it’s tough for Wilson’s value to rise any further. Unless you’re in must-win mode, I’d shop him to a WR-needy manager for help elsewhere (perhaps a fringe RB2-level player).”
– Kevin English (Draft Sharks)
Javonte Williams (RB – DAL)
“My favorite sell-high candidate after Week 11 is Javonte Williams, who’s producing like an RB1 but showing clear signs of impending regression. Despite averaging 17.3 PPG and ranking top-five in red-zone usage, his underlying efficiency is poor, sitting 133rd in EPA with a 27th-ranked run-blocking rating. His receiving involvement has completely evaporated, with one reception in four straight games, capping his weekly upside. Even more concerning, he hasn’t cleared 10.5 fantasy points in back-to-back weeks despite solid yardage, signaling that touchdowns and volume are propping him up. With a brutal upcoming slate — Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, Vikings, and Chargers — this is the perfect window to cash out before his RB1 production falls off. Players I am trying to get in return for him include Rashee Rice, Derrick Henry, and Emeka Egbuka.”
