Fantasy Football players to trade for before the deadline

Mike Evans (WR, TB) - Big Mike is rumored to be returning after Tampa’s Week 11 bye week. Boy, do they need him. Baker Mayfield is doing his best to compete, but it's been a mess with rookies and guys who shouldn’t be in the NFL running routes. I expect Evans to walk into a massive target share for the rest of this season. His schedule is pretty good, too. Games with the Giants in Week 12 and a pair of contests with Carolina (Week 13 and 17) highlight a stretch of opponents that will have your lineups rejoicing.

Malik Nabers (WR, NYG) - The Daniel Jones disaster is coming to an end in New York. Thanks to a contract quirk, the Giants would owe Jones $23 million dollars, fully guaranteed for 2025, if he were to suffer an injury. The G-men won’t let that happen. Expect Drew Lock to be under center as soon as this week. That’s an upgrade for Nabers, who leads the Giants with 94 targets. Lock isn’t a superstar, but he can push the ball down the field. This is the ultimate buy-low move.

Isiah Pacheco (RB, KC) - Andy Reid opened the practice window on Pacheco, and he’s expected to return to the Chiefs lineup soon. That spells doom for Kareem Hunt (more on him later). Pacheco is a bruising runner who will thrive in KC’s new ground-and-pound offense. Over the past three games, Hunt has been third in the NFL in rush attempts (62). That volume is all likely going to Pacheco. Get an offer early before his owner realizes the gold mine he’s sitting on.

De’Von Achane (RB, MIA) - Only Bijan Robinson has more PPR points than Achane over the last three weeks. He’s become not only the RB 1 on his team but also the first-read wide receiver. Per Fantasy Points Data, Achane led all Miami players in first read target share on Monday night. It’s all Achane, all the time. Buy him off the slightly down performance on national television. He’s going to smash with his touch share in this offense.

Courtland Sutton (WR, DEN) - Don’t look now, but Courtland Sutton has quietly been the WR 8 in fantasy over the past three weeks. That’s all, with him scoring just one receiving touchdown over that span. Sutton is clicking with rookie QB Bo Nix, and the progress is showing up in the box score. Sutton has at least 70 yards in three straight. He’ll face Atlanta and Cleveland in two of his next three games, which are both top-10 matchups for opposing receivers.

Kenneth Walker (RB, SEA) - Coming off a bye this week, it’s prime time to buy on an elite fantasy running back. Seattle isn’t afraid to lean on Walker, as evidenced by his 28 touches in Week 9. There’s no reason to think they’ll go away from him either, with matchups against the 49ers, Jets, and two versus Arizona upcoming. He’s a top-5 talent who you can potentially get at an RB 2 price tag today.

Fantasy Football players to trade away before the deadline

CeeDee Lamb (WR, DAL) - Have you seen this Dallas offense without Dak Prescott? I’m selling Lamb anywhere I can. The duo of Cooper Rush and Trey Lance will do no favors to Lamb’s fantasy owners. Lamb was a putrid six receptions for 21 yards vs Philadelphia. Those numbers won’t get any better with this stable of QBs. This is similar to the Dolphins losing Tua Tagovailoa earlier this season, and it tanked everyone on their offense. Get on the phone today and move Lamb for some upside assets.

Kareem Hunt (RB, KC) - The clock is about to strike Midnight on Hunt as Isaih Pacheco is set to return from injury. Hunt did a great job in his fill-in role. As mentioned earlier, Hunt is top-3 in rush attempts over the past three weeks. He’s also seen 12 targets. If I can get Hunt off my roster a week early, I’ll be good with it. I’m sure your league mates know that Pacheco is returning, but you can sell Hunt as a 1-2 punch running back who won’t totally go away. He’s great insurance to the Pacheco owner, who should want to own both backs.

Chase Brown (RB, CHI) - Brown has looked incredible as the Bengals bell-cow runner. I just don’t think it holds up. I love Brown’s usage in the passing game (16 targets in the last two games), but the Bengals know he can’t hold up to this massive workload. Playing nearly 100% of the team snaps is going to lead to injury. Cincy knows this and traded for former Bears RB Khalil Herbert. It’s just a matter of time before Herbert steals snaps and assumes the old Zack Moss role.

J.K. Dobbins (RB, LAC) - Dobbins' story is a great one. He returns from incredible injuries and flourishes as an NFL running back. The problem is, all those injuries have taken a toll, and Dobbins looks slower than ever. Week 10 saw Dobbins average 3.3 yards per carry. Out of his nine starts this year, Dobbins has gone under four yards per carry six times, including six of his last seven games. The Chargers are throwing the ball more than ever, as well. This offense is systematically shifting, and it’s not directed towards Dobbins. Throw in the fact that Gus Edwards returned from injury and led the team in rushing in Week 10. It’s time to sell Dobbins.
