Players to Buy Low & Sell High in Week 12
Buy
Who is your favorite buy-low trade candidate heading into Week 12 and why? Also, who are you willing to give up for him?
Breece Hall (RB – NYJ)
“Breece Hall is my buy-low candidate of the week. Get in there now before his stocks rise again. Yes, the Jets’ offense is embarrassing, but he remains their only consistent weapon, seeing an impressive 60% snap share and totalling 134 rushing yards over expected for the year through 11 weeks. This elite usage, alongside a favourable playoff schedule, guarantees you volume that will translate into high-end scoring. Lock in and load up on Breece Hall. Also, with Tyrod Taylor taking over at quarterback, this is a massive boost.”
– Luke Renton (The Franchise Tag UK)
“Last week, I recommended owners bench Breece Hall and TreVeyon Henderson while also suggesting owners buy them going forward due to friendly matchups in key upcoming weeks. I was mostly right about benching them, and I am mostly right about targeting them now. Hall is an underappreciated gem. The Jets are a disaster. Fantasy owners typically see the ugly while ignoring the opportunity, and that is the diamond in the rough that is Hall. The Jets quarterback position isn’t competent to be kind, Garrett Wilson is on injured reserve (IR), and the team is dysfunctional on a good day. I understand the concerns. However, Hall ranks eighth in total scoring over the last four weeks while mired in the mess — 57.50 points (better than Derrick Henry and Jahmyr Gibbs) — and that is after facing a Patriots run defense that stifles everyone as well as a double-digit head-scratcher against a stifling Cleveland Browns defense as well. Hall is the only talented player the team has with Wilson injured and the entire defense exiled to greener pastures. He’s going to be the focus of the entire offense going forward, while doing it in extremely friendly matchups against Atlanta and Miami, both rated in the top 10 in points allowed to running backs, and the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. If it makes you feel better, Hall has scored double-digit fantasy points in four of his last seven games. Hall owners will be happy to dump him, and you should be happy to have him as you ride a show pony playing with a bunch of nags into the fantasy championship. You won’t have to pay this much, but I’d trade Kyren Williams, Josh Jacobs and definitely Ashton Jeanty for Hall straight up. You’ll look foolish until Hall outscores them all and is your MVP on the way to a title.”

Sell
Who is your favorite sell-high candidate after Week 11 and why? Also, who would you try to get in return?
Kimani Vidal (RB – LAC)
“Kimani Vidal. Vidal was ranked as a top-20 back 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 against the Eagles, Chiefs and Texans. Throw in a Week 12 bye, and there aren’t many times Vidal is going to help your team in the playoffs behind the Chargers’ offensive line. Get someone else and hope your league mate is still impressed by prior performances.”

The Debates
Occasionally, our Featured Pros will disagree about whether a player is a buy low or a sell high. In those cases, we present both arguments and let you decide.
A.J. Brown (WR – PHI)
Buy Low
“A.J. Brown is the perfect buy-low target for anyone making a playoff push. The box score didn’t impress last week, but the underlying usage was elite: 11 targets, a 52.4% first read share and he led all pass-catchers in air yards, the kind of profile that explodes the following week. You couldn’t ask for a better remaining schedule with Dallas, Chicago and Washington all ranking in the top five in fantasy points allowed to receivers. This is likely your final window before a multi-week breakout stretch. I would offer Deebo Samuel, Courtland Sutton or Zay Flowers to acquire him.”
– Kyle Zeigler (Fantasy In Frames)
Sell High
“A.J. Brown. This is your last chance to sell. He had 13 targets (39% target share) and three red-zone targets (including two penalties) on Sunday Night Football and still failed to go over 50 receiving yards. If this were the “squeaky wheel” game, consider me very unimpressed. Sell high with Dallas up next, as managers are bound to overlook Lane Johnson’s injury. You’ll get someone to bite. DeVonta Smith has been better this season and is averaging a career-high 2.06 yards per route. Brown is averaging a career-low 1.59 yards per route run.”
