Fortunately, our Featured Pros have delivered one more batch of players to target and fade before the window closes. Take a deep breath, check your standings, and let’s make something happen before time runs out.

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?

Omarion Hampton (RB – LAC)

“Omarion Hampton shouldn’t be too difficult to acquire, as nobody has been thinking about him recently, because he has been on injured reserve (IR) for multiple weeks now, and even has a bye week in Week 12 on top of that. Reports are indicating that Hampton will be back in Week 13 for the Chargers after their bye week, and he should go right back to being a workhorse on a run-heavy team. I’m not worried about Kimani Vidal; Hampton is the lead back here. I’d be willing to give up a WR3 for Hampton, maybe even a low-end WR2, as I am very excited for his return and immense upside down the stretch in this Chargers offense.”
– Aidan Weingartner (Fantasy In Frames)

“This is the time to try and target injured players close to returning or players on bye that can’t help struggling teams. Omarion Hampton fits this criteria perfectly. On bye and close to a return from injury, Hampton could be the missing piece for teams to win a championship. A realistic return could come next week after the bye, and one the Chargers will welcome. Hampton should be featured heavily immediately and would be a top-15 play upon his return. With matchups against the Raiders, Eagles, Chiefs, Cowboys and Texans remaining, Hampton is a must-get for the stretch run before his return, even if it is at the cost of a Tee Higgins or a Quinshon Judkins.”

Sell

Who is your favorite sell-high candidate after Week 11 and why? Also, who would you try to get in return?

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 or fewer. If you’re fighting for a playoff spot, his Week 14 bye could cost you. Flip McMillan now for a difference-maker like Justin Jefferson, who has a strong fantasy playoff schedule. You could also target running back 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. 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 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 Higgins right now, just because of the Chase suspension news and all the hype surrounding Joe Burrow‘s return at the moment.”
