Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Players to Sell High
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.
