Winning the trade market is at least as important as nailing the draft. Aside from the waiver wire’s massive impact in the season’s first few weeks, trading is the best way to improve your squad quickly. Great buy-low moves can set you up for victory in the short term and down the stretch. Solid sell-high deals can get you big hauls for overachieving players who likely won’t sustain their production.
Here are all the players the experts are trading this week. And below we dive into a few notable selections. And be sure to check out our weekly trade value chart with updated values for all players.

Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Breece Hall (RB – NYJ)
“The time to buy Breece Hall is now. He logged just four touches against the Cowboys in Week 2, and people already seem to be writing him off. Let’s not forget a few things, such as the fact that he was on a snap count and totaled 147 yards the week prior. Hall is a talented running back, and his quiet outing versus Dallas was merely the product of a restricted snap count and bad matchup. His schedule gets a lot easier going forward, and he could be a top-12 fantasy running back when the Jets emerge from their Week 7 bye. With running back injuries piling up, you might be able to get Hall from a manager who needs immediate production in exchange for James Cook or Raheem Mostert.”

Josh Jacobs (RB – LV)
“Josh Jacobs has to be my favorite buy-low, currently. Despite two weeks of under 10 fantasy point outputs, Jacobs is still seeing near-elite utilization. Nearly 70% of the rushing attempts,19% and 32% target share, and TPRR numbers all qualify as metrics we are thrilled to see. Looking ahead to games against the Steelers, Chargers, Packers, and Bears, watch for Jacobs to see some rushing success quickly. I would be trying to give up a late-first if you are in a dynasty-style league, and in redraft, I would be willing to give up a WR2-caliber player like Nico Collins.”
– Sam Wagman (The Game Day)
“Josh Jacobs, I’d be looking to buy low on. He has been under ten fantasy for his first two weeks of the season. He still dominates the backfield carries and has nine targets in two games. Let’s not forget Jacobs wasn’t with the team for most of the offseason, so he is still getting back up to speed. I’d be looking to sell high on Kyren Williams or Brian Robinson, plus an asset to get a talent like Josh Jacobs on my team. ”
– Steven Pintado (The Fantasy Coaches)
“Josh Jacobs is my favorite buy-low. He is seeing 15+ total targets each week, and we know his skill set. When it comes to running backs, I love one rule-volume is king.”
– Joe Pepe (Beyond The Gridiron)
Jerry Jeudy (WR – DEN)
“After missing week 1 with a hamstring injury, Jerry Jeudy was quiet in Week 2 with three grabs for 35 yards. It’s fair to assume that Jeudy was still limited by the hamstring as he was questionable up until game-time and didn’t see his usual snap count, but he has other factors working in his favor as well. Shockingly, the Broncos offense is tied for sixth in yards per play and leads the entire NFL in points per drive. With the emergence of Marvin Mims Jr., teams must respect the deep ball, which hasn’t been the case in recent seasons, and with Greg Dulcich on IR, Jeudy will have an opportunity to own the middle of the field as his usage ramps up. I would look to move players like Chris Godwin or DeAndre Hopkins for Jeudy, or players coming off a big game like Gabe Davis or Christian Kirk.”
– Chad Workman (Fantasy Scouts)
“Jerry Jeudy only mustered 25 yards on 68% of snaps in his return to the Broncos lineup in Week 2, making him a great buy-low candidate. The fourth-year receiver will see his playing time increase as he continues recovering from a preseason hamstring injury. During the nine games in which he topped 80% of snaps last season, he averaged 5 catches, 80 yards, 0.6 touchdowns, and 14.2 half-PPR fantasy points per game. I would give up Terry McLaurin or DeAndre Hopkins to get Jeudy.”
