Rest of Season Rankings
Players to Sell High
D.J. Moore (WR – CAR)
Trading Moore after he found paint in Week 2 should net you a reasonable return, and this might be one of the last chances to do so. Sure, he’s been as steady as they come over the last three seasons, but the Panthers look like a dumpster fire on offense, and Baker Mayfield isn’t going to magically turn it around. The upcoming schedule is brutal, with games against the Saints, 49ers, Rams and Bucs. It’s a bad week to trade for Amari Cooper, so you might have to set your sights on Jerry Jeudy, Tee Higgins or Diontae Johnson.

Curtis Samuel (WR – WAS)
The biggest surprise so far this season has arguably been Curtis Samuel. After barely playing last year, he is the WR9 in half-point PPR scoring, averaging 17.3 fantasy points per game this year. However, Samuel is still third on the team in snaps played with 121, as Jahan Dotson leads the way with 141 with Terry McLaurin right behind him at 135. Furthermore, the veteran struggled with injuries last season and has never finished higher than the WR25 in any year of his career. If you can swap Samuel for Dotson or DeAndre Hopkins, that’s a deal I would make. In his nine healthy games last year, Hopkins averaged 13.2 fantasy points per game, making him the WR9 over a 17-game pace in 2021.

Austin Ekeler (RB – LAC)
If you roster Ekeler, you must have drafted him early, but you can still do better. He’s RB13 as the second most targeted running back and although the target volume does provide a safe floor, the drastic change in his red zone usage no longer provides him with elite upside. Last season, he saw the second most redzone opportunities (carries + targets) with 61 and was tied for the second most rush attempts inside the five with 16. Through two weeks this season, he’s seen four opportunities in the redzone and zero inside the five. He accumulated 135.3 of his fantasy points from the redzone last season, the most of any player and good for nearly 40% of his total. Over 18% of his fantasy points came from inside the five, and those are now dust. I’d look to move him for Joe Mixon, Javonte Williams, Dalvin Cook or somebody like Fournette, plus an additional piece.

Miles Sanders (RB – PHI)
Miles Sanders is very talented, and fantasy managers anticipate a breakout from him over and over again. It has yet to happen for any consistent duration. Either he gets hurt or becomes an afterthought in the offense. He’s in his fourth season now and has had back-to-back games with 10 or points (half-point ppr) only six times — including this season. The Eagles have had positive game scripts for Sanders all season, and that won’t always be the case. If you can find someone who thinks he’s a legit RB2 and will give you that kind of value in return, take the deal and don’t look back.

Christian McCaffrey (RB – CAR)
2022 CMC is not what fantasy managers drafted. Nine targets and 25 rushing attempts in two games is not what fantasy managers signed up for when he was being taken as the first or second overall pick. Add into that some injury concerns already after the previous years, you now have a good time to sell before his value completely tanks. Carolina is 30th in plays per game, averaging just 52 plays from scrimmage per game. And, with Mayfield willing to find other targets, there just won’t be the volume for McCaffrey. If I could sell for someone like Derrick Henry, Najee Harris or Leonard Fournette, plus another piece like a WR, then I would be happy to part ways.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire (RB – KC)
I am still not a believer in Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Yes, CEH is currently the RB5 in fantasy points, but that is fool’s gold. The majority of his fantasy production came as a result of his two-touchdown performance in Week 1. However, he still only played 39% of snaps in Week 1 and has averaged only 11 touches per game through two games. The Chiefs’ offense also involves passing game back Jerrick McKinnon and rookie Isiah Pacheco, who continue to see their snap counts and usage increase. If someone is willing to cough it up based on the first two weeks, I am running to hit accept and sell CEH at his peak value.
– Dennis Sosic (Fantasy Six Pack)
Jahan Dotson (WR – WAS)
Dotson has been great so far this season, scoring three TDs through the first two weeks. However, his efficiency is not sustainable. He got those three TDs on a total of 10 targets, and with the weapons the Commanders have, I don’t see his target share increasing. With Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel, Logan Thomas, Antonio Gibson and JD Mckissic all demanding targets, Dotson will eventually see his TD production fall in line with his minimal target share. Sell while the iron’s hot.
