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 experts are trying to trade this week. And be sure to check out our weekly trade value chart with updated values for all players.

Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Jordan Addison (WR – MIN)
“With Justin Jefferson likely out at least a month, look for the pass-happy Vikings to keep Jordan Addison far more involved. I do worry that almost all of Addison’s fantasy value thus far has been from touchdowns. But this also gives him more wiggle room for statistical improvement as his target volume should increase. I’d be happy to move on from Puka Nacua in exchange for Addison and a backup RB like Salvon Ahmed.”
– Matt De Lima (The Game Day)
Javonte Williams (RB – DEN)
“Javonte Williams is a talented running back who, unfortunately, had his ascension to fantasy elite levels slowed by a nasty knee injury. He wasn’t supposed to start the season on the active roster, but he has played in 5 of 6 games this year. He is now over a year removed from the injury and surgery. Last week, he averaged 5.2 ypc and could start rolling this weekend versus a subpar Green Bay defense. He should be able to be traded for on the cheap due to lower production thus far for a low-end WR2/WR3 like Kendrick Bourne, Tyler Boyd, or Josh Downs (coming off his first NFL TD) or an overhyped RB like Isiah Pacheco or Rhamondre Stevenson. ”

Michael Mayer (TE – LV)
“I’m buying low on Raider’s tight end Michael Mayer. He was my TE1 in the 2023 rookie class coming into the season but is the forgotten man behind Sam LaPorta and Dalton Kincaid. LaPorta’s production has far surpassed Mayer’s, but Mayer has shown signs of a breakout in his immediate future over the past two games. After receiving only one target through four games, he has recorded three and six targets over the past two games. He turned that into five receptions for 75 yards in Week 6 and is slowly becoming a trustworthy part of the Vegas offense.”
– Aaron St Denis (The League Winners)
Mike Evans (WR – TB)
“It’s been a few weeks since Mike Evans has helped fantasy teams. He left Week 4 early with a hamstring injury, had a Week 5 bye, and then posted just 49 scoreless yards last week. But Evans was close to a big game last week and, most importantly, saw another 10 targets. That gives him 38 targets on a 29% target share in four healthy games. Baker Mayfield‘s favorite target looks like a weekly WR2 with WR1 upside going forward.”
– Jared Smola (Draft Sharks)
DeVonta Smith (WR – PHI)
“DeVonta Smith had a disappointing performance in Week 6, totaling 6.9 half-point PPR fantasy points. Yet, he is my ideal buy-low trade player this week. Smith had 11 targets against the New York Jets, leading the team and a season-high for the receiver. Furthermore, he led the Eagles in routes run (45) and target share (22.2%) while finishing ahead of A.J. Brown in target per route run rate, according to Fantasy Points Data. Smith has several fantasy-friendly matchups in the second half of the season, including the fantasy playoffs. I would flip Drake London or even Michael Pittman Jr. for him in a heartbeat.”
– Mike Fanelli (FantasyPros)
Derek Carr (QB – LV)
“I’m buying Derek Carr right now. He’s coming off his best yardage total of the season (353) in Week 6, but he has just five touchdown passes on the year. That is the lowest of any quarterback with more than 1,275 passing yards this season, so positive regression is likely on the way. Carr also plays the Jaguars, Colts, Bears, and Vikings over the next four weeks, all of which are matchups in which he can excel. Trade away a quarterback currently ahead of Carr in fantasy points, like CJ Stroud or Jordan Love, or move a bench piece at RB or WR and enjoy the ride.”
