Players to Buy Low & Sell High in Week 11
Buy
Who is your favorite buy-low trade candidate heading into Week 11 and why? Also, who are you willing to give up for him?
Bucky Irving (RB – TB)
“This isn’t for every team — certainly not for a 4-6 team that needs wins immediately — but I like the idea of trying to pry Bucky Irving away from a frustrated, impatient investor. Mention that the latest reporting says there is no timetable for Irving’s return. If your team is playoff-bound, play the long game and invest in a top-10 running back who gets green-light matchups against the Saints, Falcons, Panthers and Dolphins in Weeks 14-17. If I had some receiver depth, I’d be willing to part with a receiver as good as Ladd McConkey, George Pickens or Rome Odunze.”

Sell
Who is your favorite sell-high candidate after Week 10 and why? Also, who would you try to get in return?
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 expected points added (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 injured reserve (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 all-purpose yards 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 can play, he will get reps in this offense no matter what. If Henderson could be used in a package deal to acquire Chris Olave, Michael Pittman or 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 Johnston, Keenan Allen and Oronde Gadsden II vying for Justin Herbert‘s attention. The Chargers’ offense might not be as crisp down the stretch with star offensive tackle Joe Alt out for the season. And if Ladd McConkey‘s fantasy teams make it to the championship game in Week 17, McConkey will have to face Houston’s brick-wall pass defense. Assuming you have the receiver 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.”
