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?
Keaton Mitchell (RB – BAL)
“Keaton Mitchell is probably widely available on the waivers, but if not, I think he’s worth giving up someone for, to take a chance as a Flex play if desperate. The Ravens aren’t blowing teams out, but that could change with the Jets, Bengals (twice) and Steelers in the next four weeks. Mitchell has received at least four carries (three targets against Cleveland) in each of the last four games. If the Ravens want to rest Derrick Henry at all, there’s a chance for 10+ touches in upcoming games for Mitchell.”

Sell
Who is your favorite sell-high candidate after Week 11 and why? Also, who would you try to get in return?
Zay Flowers (WR – BAL)
“I implore you to sell Zay Flowers. For some reason, Flowers 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, Flowers is just the PPR WR29. If we add in that week, he’s WR25. I’m selling on name value and what is perceived to be the best possible fantasy schedule for receivers down the stretch. Go get a startable running back 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.”

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.
Alec Pierce (WR – IND)
Buy Low
“My favorite buy-low trade candidate heading into Week 12 is Alec Pierce. Over the past four games, Pierce has finished as a WR2 in three of these games. Over this four-game span, Alec Pierce has averaged almost nine targets with four receptions and 91.5 receiving yards. He’s rostered in 34% of fantasy football leagues and is coming off a bye week to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. The opportunity window to trade for him or pick him up on your waiver wire if he is available is rapidly closing. With the fantasy football playoffs approaching, I’m willing to trade away any wide receivers that have tough matchups over Weeks 15-17.”
– Jeff Boggis (Fantasy Football Empire)
Sell High
“Trade Alec Pierce while you can still get a nice cash reward. His WR2 status is a mirage: His high production is fuelled by an impressive 20.9 yards per reception. He is reliant on deep catches, not reliable volume. With just 28 receptions, that ranks him outside of the top 50 receivers; his volume simply cannot be sustained, and that luck is about to run out. Maximize the profit on this low-volume inflation before it’s too late.”
