Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Key Takeaways

1. Tony Pollard: A Controversial Pick

3. Keaton Mitchell: Rising Star or Hype?

  • Concerns and Opportunities: Some experts worry about his volume but still see him as a promising asset, especially in more challenging games.

4. D’Andre Swift & Breece Hall: Potential Game-Changers

  • Swift is a top buy-low running back with increased involvement in the Eagles’ offense, particularly as a pass-catcher.
  • Breece Hall is also favored for his schedule and central role in the Jets’ offense, making him a high-value target.

5. Selling High: Kenneth Walker III & Brian Robinson

  • Walker is recommended as a sell-high option due to shared snaps with Zach Charbonnet and a challenging schedule ahead.
  • Robinson is seen similarly, with a preference for selling high based on recent performances but concerns over his role in the Commander’s offense.
