Here are all of the players to buy and sell this week. And below we dive into a few notable names.

Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Derrick Henry (RB – TEN)

Derrick Henry was the standout player in the rushing attack, amassing 97 yards on just 12 carries, averaging an impressive 8.1 yards per attempt with a massive 63-yard run on a direct snap. He also found the end zone. Henry also chipped in with 2 receptions, gaining 16 yards.

Tyjae Spears, with 15 yards on 4 carries, added depth to the rushing game. He also caught one pass for 48 yards.

And yet again, he out-snapped Henry (56% vs 53%). His role is not going away, and he needs to be held on through the bye weeks. Elite upside if Henry were to suffer an injury/get traded.

Terry McLaurin (WR – WAS)

In the receiving game, Terry McLaurin was the primary target, receiving 11 targets and catching 6 passes for 81 yards, showcasing his ability to move the chains and create explosive plays. The gameplan was built around targeting TMC at all costs with him posting a 52% target share.

Considering this has not been nearly what the Commanders have done at any point this season, I’d sell high.

Drake London (WR – ATL)

In the receiving game, Drake London emerged as the primary target, receiving 12 targets (27%) and catching 9 passes for an impressive 125 yards, showcasing his ability to create separation and make big plays. After a Week 1 dud, London has been a target hog with a team-high 23% target share.

Still, I can’t help but view him as a sell-high. Desmond Ridder notoriously plays worse on the road than at home, and that has trickled into London’s splits. On the road this year, he has not exceeded 32 yards or 3 catches.

Adam Thielen (WR – CAR)

Quarterback Bryce Young‘s primary target was Adam Thielen, who was targeted an impressive 13 times. Thielen hauled in 11 receptions for 115 yards and found the end zone once, confirming his role as the Panthers’ top receiver (37% target share).

He is the WR3 in PPR (pending MNF). I’d cash out now. Remember, the Panthers have been very vocal about adding another WR before the trade deadline.
