Who is your favorite sell-high candidate after Week 10 and why? Also, who would you try to get in return?
Michael Pittman Jr. (WR – IND)
“Michael Pittman Jr. – It would not be “high” as he is coming off a low-scoring game, but his season thus far is a high. Pittman is a back-end WR1 in 2025, but I do not expect that to last. Josh Downs is healthier, Tyler Warren is a safety blanket, Alec Pierce is breaking out, and Jonathan Taylor is the focal point. There is simply too much going on in this offense, and Pittman Jr., despite being talented, could lose some valuable looks down the stretch, especially if Daniel Jones regresses. I would try to acquire Justin Jefferson, Zay Flowers, or an RB like Jaylen Warren for him.”

Bo Nix (QB – DEN)
“My favorite sell-high candidate after Week 10 is quarterback Bo Nix of the Denver Broncos, who surged into the top-3 QB rankings in fantasy points per game over the last three weeks, capped by a 40-point monster against the Giants, spiking his value amid Denver’s playoff push. Yet his fifth-worst completion percentage over expected (-3.3%) and tied for sixth-worst passing success rate (42.8%) scream inefficiency, even behind the league’s best offensive line, signaling regression as defenses adjust to his limitations. With a tougher slate of opponents on the horizon, now’s the time to flip the hype before the bottom falls out. I’d look to trade him away for a lower-ranked quarterback like Dak Prescott while picking up a solid RB2 like Jaylen Warren in the process.”
– Aaron St Denis (Fantasy Sports Advice Network)
“Bo Nix remains eighth overall in fantasy quarterback scoring, but I’m done with him. He has just been too erratic for me to have as my QB1 for a playoff run. I want someone I don’t have to worry about on a weekly basis. So if I’m trading Nix, I likely need a quarterback in return. If that is the case, I might try to package a WR2 or something similar to get a guy like Matthew Stafford or Justin Herbert.”

Jameson Williams (WR – DET)
“Jameson Williams had a monster week 10, his best game of the year. This could have a lot to do with the change of play caller. It could also be due to the matchup, and we know Jameson Williams can put up big weeks. The only problem is he hasn’t been able to string together good performances in his career. I would be using Williams to pair with a piece to get Tee Higgins, who has one of the best remaining schedules, past his bye week, and Joe Burrow possibly returning for the fantasy football playoffs.”
– David Heilman (Sports Gambling Podcast Network)
Alec Pierce (WR – IND)
“My favorite sell-high candidate is Alec Pierce. Pierce has been incredible the past two weeks, finishing as WR15 and WR14. For as high as I am on him, he will certainly see some regression from his 10 catches for 199 yards and a touchdown over the past two weeks. With tougher matchups on the horizon and very inconsistent target share, I think it is the right time to trade him away for either a mid to low WR2 if you can.”
– Trevor Land (FlurrySports)
TreVeyon Henderson (RB – NE)
“TreVeyon Henderson is my top sell-high candidate after Week 10, following his breakout 28-point performance in Rhamondre Stevenson‘s absence. While his recent production looks impressive, his snap share and efficiency take a massive hit when Stevenson is healthy, making his long-term outlook shaky. Henderson’s ranking of 93rd in EPA and limited red zone involvement are red flags that his workload isn’t sustainable once the backfield returns to full strength. With the easiest remaining schedule among all running backs, boosting his perceived value, now is the ideal time to maximize his trade return. I’d look to flip him for an upside player like Omarion Hampton, who’s set to return from IR soon, or Marvin Harrison Jr., who faces one of the softest upcoming schedules among wideouts.”
– Ryan Linkletter (Blitz Sports Media)
“TreVeyon Henderson, welcome to the show, young fella. Henderson exploded onto the scene in Week 10, racking up 150 APY with two scores against Tampa. Yet, this was all without Rhamondre Stevenson. Why Mike Vrabel will not give Henderson the keys to the offense is anyone’s guess. The fact remains, however, that once Stevenson is able to play, he will get reps in this offense no matter what. If Henderson could be used in a package deal to acquire an Olave, a Michael Pittman, or even a Quinshon Judkins, take that and get out of Henderson.”
– Ed Birdsall (Talking Points Sports)
Ladd McConkey (WR – LAC)
“The market might be slightly overvaluing Ladd McConkey. There’s fierce target competition on the Chargers with McConkey, Quentin Johnson, Keenan Allen, and Oronde Gadsden II vying for Justin Herbert‘s attention. The LAC offense might not be as crisp down the stretch with star OT Joe Alt out for the season. And if Ladd McConkey‘s fantasy teams make it to the championship game in Week 17, Ladd will have to face Houston’s brick-wall pass defense. Assuming you have the WR depth to pull it off, consider dangling McConkey to try to land a running back such as Chase Brown (who has a splendid late-season schedule) or, if you want to aim slightly higher, Ashton Jeanty.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)
Jonathan Taylor (RB – IND)
“I feel like I’ve been saying this for years now, but Jonathan Taylor is a great sell-high candidate after Week 10. He finished as RB1 again, his fourth week out of 10. He hits his bye this week, but I’m still trying to see what I can move him for heading into the week. Perhaps there’s a manager already locked into the playoffs who could be sold on riding Taylor down the stretch while also giving you a player to start this week in exchange. If the other manager can take the hit, they might see it as a buy-low. I’d love to pivot to a stud WR like Ja’Marr Chase, who just came off his own bye. It depends on your roster, but I’m always interested in shopping top assets to see if someone is willing to overpay for them. Now’s your chance for Taylor.”
– Andrew Hall (FantasyPros)
Quentin Johnston (WR – LAC)
“My favorite sell-high candidate after week 10 is Quentin Johnston (WR-LAC). He finally had a decent game this week, seeing 10 targets. He’s been feast or famine this season and can’t be trusted to carry your fantasy team from one week to the next. Try to sell him to another league manager by stating that Quentin Johnson has had two top ten finishes this season. Just hope that your league manager, with whom you are trading, does not look at Quentin’s finishes for the other games this season to date. I would try to get in return a more consistent wide receiver that can be counted on from week to week, who has a higher floor.”
– Jeff Boggis (Fantasy Football Empire)
Joe Flacco (QB – CIN)
“It is hard to say sell high on from a team on a bye week, but that is the case with Joe Flacco. Word just came out that Joe Burrow is going to start practicing with a goal of possibly playing around Thanksgiving. That means that Flacco will soon become a backup quarterback. Since going to Cincinnati, Flacco has thrown 2, 3, 2, and 4 touchdowns and will be a great bye week fill-in for teams in the upcoming weeks, after which he becomes a mere handcuff to Burrow. Search your league for teams with upcoming bye weeks as they make the playoff surge, or the Daniels, Stroud, or Burrow owner and offer Flacco in exchange for an under-rated WR2 (Stefon Diggs or Tee Higgins) or RB2 (Woody Marks or handcuff like Kyle Monangai) that can serve as insurance heading into the playoffs.”
