Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Raheem Mostert, Christian Kirk, Keenan Allen, A.J. Brown

Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Raheem Mostert, Christian Kirk, Keenan Allen, A.J. Brown

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

A.J. Brown (WR – PHI)

“A buy-low candidate for me is A.J. Brown. He has finished his first two weeks as the WR24 and WR71 in half-ppr scoring, and some owners may be worried that his value will continue to decrease with the big games from Devonta Smith. I am contacting the A.J. Brown manager to see if they are panicking after a slow start. I would be looking to upgrade from players who have been off to a hot start but who may not hold the season-long upside that Brown has, such as Keenan Allen or Calvin Ridley. You may need to put a package of multiple players together, but I think A.J. Brown’s value is a bit depressed going into week three and can be had for a discount.”
Dylan Licciardo (FF Gamers)

A.J. Brown is my favorite buy-low candidate at this point in the season. Brown certainly has not lived up to his 1st round draft capital that fantasy managers spent to draft him. A.J. Brown has never been a WR that has needed a ton of volume to be fantasy-relevant, being able to have top-10 season finishes at WR when averaging 8 targets per game during those top-10 seasons. A.J. Brown is seeing 8 targets per game currently and I am expecting to see more explosive plays from Brown and this Philadelphia Eagles offense going forward. I would be trying to move my sell-high candidate of Puka Nacua to see if I could get A.J. Brown on my roster.”
Derek Dennington (The Good Old Boys Fantasy Football Podcast)

“Buy A.J. Brown while you can, please. After his mini outburst on the sidelines last Thursday night, a monster A.J. Brown game is coming. While the Eagles offense has kind of looked just okay thus far, the breakout is coming. He remains a key part of the offensive plan for the Eagles, and I have no doubts about his future production. With the mass hysteria surrounding Puka Nacua, I would check with any A.J. Brown manager to see if Nacua with other pieces could be of interest to them in any way to get a deal done.”
Ed Birdsall (Talking Points Sports)

Keenan Allen (WR – LAC)

“Capitalize on Keenan Allen’s huge week (111 yards, two touchdowns) by shipping him off. The 31-year-old struggled with injuries last year, and he’s not getting any younger. His production will also likely drop off when Austin Ekeler (ankle) returns and Quentin Johnston carves out a bigger role in the offense. Finally, Allen has a tough schedule, including the Cowboys in Week 6 and the Jets in Week 9. He also draws tough fantasy playoff matchups with the Bills in Week 16 before traveling to Denver for Week 17. Rhamondre Stevenson or T.J. Hockenson could be reasonable targets if you’re looking to trade Allen for reinforcements at positions other than wide receiver. ”
Andersen Pickard (Prime Time Sports Talk)

Raheem Mostert (RB – MIA)

“Sell high on Raheem Mostert. We’ve seen this story before. Mostert gets off to a blazing start and then tweaks something that requires him to sit for at least a few weeks, and on and on. It’s extremely unfortunate because even at 31, he still looks super fast. But he IS 31, and that just means he’s going to be a little less durable. In addition, Jeff Wilson, JR. should be back in a couple of weeks, and he and Mostert split touches last year. You should be aiming high at this point in the season. Look to acquire assets like a Breece Hall or even Ja’Marr Chase if you are willing to add extra on top from a panicking manager.”
Sam Wagman (The Game Day)

“Sell Raheem Mostert while his value is at its peak. Mostert is the RB5 after two weeks in half PPR. He’s also getting unusually high usage for Miami so far in 2023, tallying 73% of snaps in both games this season after only reaching that mark twice all of last year. With rookie De’Von Achane lurking and last year’s starter Jeff Wilson Jr. eligible to return in three weeks, Mostert’s days as a top-10 fantasy RB are numbered. I would look to move him for Rachaad White or Isiah Pacheco if possible.”
Dan Larocca (RotoBaller)

Raheem Mostert. There’s no better time to trade a player than after their best game of the year. Jeff Wilson will return in a couple of weeks, and with touches likely increasing for rookie Achane, this backfield will be a mess. It’s the time to sell Mostert, and I think we could find an owner willing to give us even Javonte Williams.”
Sebastian Ardura (Gurus Deportivos)

Christian Kirk (WR – JAC)

“If somebody is buying the spike in production from Christian Kirk, now is the time to take advantage. After just one catch in week 1, Kirk rebounded with 11 grabs for 110 yards in week 2. The difference is that the Jaguars played much more 11 personnel as they chased points against the Chiefs, but Kirk still played behind Zay Jones in 12 personnel. Kirk will have some big weeks when the team goes with a heavy dose of 11 personnel, but I don’t recommend him as a weekly starter, given the floor. I would be targeting many other receivers in Kirk’s range in our expert consensus ROS rankings: Zay Flowers, Mike Williams, Jahan Dotson, Jordan Addison, or Jerry Jeudy if you can swing it.”
