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. Below we dive into a few notable names. And be sure to check out our weekly trade value chart with updated values for all players.

Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Week 8
D’Onta Foreman (RB – CHI)
“D’Onta Foreman had a game that made many brave fantasy owners very happy (89 yards rushing, 3/31 receiving, 2 TDs). He is great for fantasy owners when given the chance, but will soon be in a crowded backfield when Khalil Herbert comes off IR, Roschon Johnson passes concussion protocol, and Justin Fields returns to the helm. Sell him while hot to an RB-needy team. You should have your pick of RB2s (James Cook, Isiah Pacheco, Najee Harris, maybe even Rhamondre Stevenson) or WR2s (Christian Kirk, Courtland Sutton, Diontae Johnson). Coming off a game like he did should make him a hot commodity for a team needing a win in Week 8.”

Brian Robinson Jr. (RB – WAS)
“Brian Robinson has yet to reach 100 rushing yards in a game and has been held under 50 yards in four straight games. He’s also not much of a factor in the passing game. This makes Robinson very TD-dependent in order to provide value. Robinson also has a tough slate of rushing defenses during the fantasy playoffs. I would try to get another top 15 RB or WR in return for the Commanders’ RB.”
– Neema Hodjat (Real GM)
Tony Pollard (RB – DAL)
“Don’t get me wrong, Tony Pollard is a very good player. But the question posed to me was, who is your favorite sell-high candidate? Few players are valued higher than Tony Pollard right now. Injuries to the Cowboys’ offensive line, as well as a tough schedule, are reasons enough for me to try and unload Pollard for a haul. Ideally, I’d try and trade Pollard for a package of players I like. (For ex. Tony Pollard for Derrick Henry, Dalton Kincaid, AND Jameson Williams, or Tony Pollard for Isiah Pacheco, Jameson Williams, AND Dalton Kincaid.) However, if a package deal weren’t possible, I’d try for a one-for-one swap. For ex. Tony Pollard for Jonathan Taylor.”
