Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Players to Buy

Gabe Davis (WR – BUF)
The preseason buzz for Gabriel Davis was deafening after he exploded in the playoffs last season. Davis looked excellent in Week 1 when he produced four catches on five targets for 88 yards and scored against the Rams. Fantasy managers were thrilled to view the expanded role in the Bills’ offense, but the fantasy dreams have come crashing down with an ankle injury that had Davis miss Week 2 and not be much of a fantasy factor in Weeks 3 and 4. He is still hampered by the lingering effects of the ankle injury and gutting it out to get on the field. Unfortunately, Davis has disappointed fantasy managers, but now is the ideal time to grab him. He will get healthy and return to be another weapon for Josh Allen and the Bills. The fact that the Bills lost Jamison Crowder for the season and Isaiah McKenzie is dealing with concussion issues could open the door for even more opportunities moving forward. The Bills take on the struggling Steelers secondary, who are dealing with injuries across their defensive backfield. Now is the perfect time to slide in and obtain Davis at this lowest value and enjoy the fruits of that trade starting in Week 5.

Jared Goff (QB – DET)
I’ve been buying Goff all offseason because I had a feeling that he’d be a sleeper stud in this new offense. This week, without D’Andre Swift and Amon-Ra St. Brown, Goff still put up the best numbers for a QB in fantasy. For the season, he’s QB5. Whether you’re in 1QB or Superflex leagues, go check the price on Goff and see if you can get him for a steal from someone who thinks that this output is a fluke. When Jameson Williams joins the team and St. Brown and Swift are both healthy, this offense could be explosive. I’d be fine sending Russell Wilson for Goff and a piece, or Zach Wilson for Goff and a smaller piece. Whatever you think your trade partner will allow for.

Brandin Cooks (WR – HOU)
Cooks has not delivered to expectations yet, especially in his disastrous Week 3. However, the schedule looks great for the wide receiver for most of the rest of the season. Outside of Philadelphia in Week 9 and Dallas in Week 14, the Texans don’t face a tough pass defense and have several cupcakes, including Washington and Tennessee twice. The Texans may want to run, but the schedule will get tough for Dameon Pierce, and they may have to rely on Davis Mills. Scary as that may sound, it should be good for Cooks, who leads the team with a 25% target share. I’d happily trade away an overachieving Corey Davis, Curtis Samuel, or even Amari Cooper for him, given Cooks’s opportunity and consistency.
