Trade For These Players
Luke Reimer (FlurrySports) — Derrick Henry, RB, Ravens
I am trying to trade with Derrick Henry fantasy owners. Henry might be a tough player to trade for, and he may cost you a pretty penny, but not as much as what people drafted him at. Given his lack of production lately, those who drafted Henry may be sitting at 1-3 or 0-4 and have to trade him to rebuild their team quickly. Even without Lamar Jackson, we know what Derrick Henry is — a first-ballot Hall of Famer who only gets better as the season progresses. The Ravens have a cakewalk of a schedule coming up and will need to establish the run to settle Cooper Rush into the offense. Henry is too good a player to be bad in fantasy football.
Chris Chous (Cover 1 Fantasy Football) — Quinshon Judkins, RB, Browns
With all the injuries to the running back position, securing top-end RBs will once again be key to winning that fantasy championship! Make a concerted effort to snag Quinshon Judkins off others’ rosters. Judkins has shown flash and power, while confirming that workhorse back appeal! The best is yet to come for this rookie! Buy now before the price becomes unattainable.
Trevor Land (FlurrySports) — Dallas Goedert, TE, Eagles
Dallas Goedert is the guy I want to trade for. While his target and reception totals aren’t super high, he has three touchdown receptions on just 12 targets. It’s clear he’s the guy in the red zone in the passing attack, and he’s scored in double figures in each of his three starts. With so many other tight ends making the news and taking the spotlight, Goedert is sitting in the shadows which may give him a lower price than others of his caliber.
Trade Away These Players
Geoff Lambert (GoingFor2) — Jaylen Waddle, WR, Dolphins
The new No. 1 WR in Miami, Jaylen Waddle, is someone I’m looking to trade away while he has peak value. The Dolphins’ offense hasn’t been good this season, and without Tyreek Hill, it’s even worse. Not to mention, Waddle hasn’t been the healthiest of receivers in his first four years in the league. I’d be trying to capitalize on this spike in value before he throws up a dud game or gets a soft tissue injury.
Zach Brunner (FlurrySports) — Juwan Johnson, TE, Saints
After a strong start to the season, many were bragging that they waited at tight end and picked up Juwan Johnson while the Brock Bowers owner was hurting. Well, I think you should be trying to make fantasy football trades to get rid of Johnson. He’s already banged up, but that’s not the biggest issue. The fact that the Saints have two tight ends who have just been designated eligible to return, Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau, means Juwan Johnson will no longer have a monopoly down in New Orleans.
