Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Players to Trade
Miles Sanders (RB – PHI)
Miles Sanders is currently the RB15 in 0.5pt PPR. However, he currently sits just nine points outside the top 10. Sanders’s schedule starts to open up nicely, and the Eagles look to control games and win their division. With the Commanders and the Colts their next two opponents, as well as playoff matchups against the Giants and the Bears, before a tricky Week 17 matchup against the Cowboys, it looks like it’s time for Sanders to vault himself into the RB top 10 conversation. Sanders is averaging a more than respectable 1.5 rushing yards after contact and averaging 5 yards per carry this year. Expect him to maintain that 17-20 touch-per-game pace and look to see the touchdowns increase over the coming weeks. If you can get Sanders plus a WR for Mixon, you are coming out way ahead.

Rachaad White (RB – TB)
The speculation is swirling that Rachaad White will continue to increase his 35 percent of the snaps or more in four of the last six weeks. Fournette has totaled only 62 rushing yards across the past three weeks. Fournette has expressed his displeasure with his lack of involvement in the offense. Hopefully, the Buccaneers offense will continue to trend upward after their dramatic win over the Rams Sunday night. White passes the eye test and has earned more than just a complementary role in the Bucs offense. His increased role leads to more promising value, especially if the Bucs’ season heads into a downward spiral which will lead to White taking over the RB1 duties. Fantasy managers should wave RB Foreman or Allgeier to make the move to obtain White.

Michael Pittman Jr. (WR – IND)
I know it can feel weird to buy an underperforming player on a bad team, but hear me out. The Colts are going through a rough patch this year. They fired Frank Reich and replaced him with Jeff Saturday, which is definitely an interesting choice. Odds are good that the current Pittman manager agrees. You may be able to get him at a deep discount and hold him to see how things go. Don’t send a starter for him, but if you can get him for a couple of bench players like Chase Claypool and Rondale Moore, then why not? If he costs you bench players, then you’re probably fine benching him if he isn’t great. But come on, someone’s gotta advance the ball in Indy, right?

Justin Herbert (QB – LAC)
It seems weird to have Geno Smith as a sell-high candidate, but the veteran has played himself into this position. Kudos to Smith for resurrecting his career, but now might be the right time to sell to a QB-starved league mate. Smith could be fine as we advance, as his schedule is not too challenging. However, the Seahawks are surprising contenders in the NFC West, and Pete Carroll has always preferred to rely on his running game. The emergence of Kenneth Walker III makes this proposition all the more enticing for Carroll, not to mention it’s a good way to hide his less-than-stellar defense. Plus, DK Metcalf is banged up and could miss some time. I’d happily move Smith for a proven commodity off to a rough start like Tom Brady or maybe even Matthew Stafford. Both of these veterans have excellent remaining schedules and plenty of weapons at their disposal.
