Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Derek Carr (QB – NO)

“Derek Carr threw three touchdowns this week! That will not happen again this season! This team belongs to Alvin Kamara, and he will get most of the scoring opportunities, and 200 yards from a quarterback each week won’t cut it. Owners will be scrambling for starters, especially with Jordan Love out for a few weeks. Trade Carr while he is riding the high touchdown numbers for players such as Kirk Cousins, Sam Darnold, or even Deshaun Watson (who has some favorable matchups in upcoming weeks), and you will be happy you picked him up later in your draft or on your waiver wire before his stats fall off a cliff.”
– Adam Dove (The Fantasy Couriers)

Justin Jefferson (WR – MIN)

“Few players’ stock values are as high as Justin Jefferson’s. I have major concerns with Sam Darnold and the Vikings’ offense. Kirk Cousins, with whom Jefferson had his most success, is long gone. I would trade Justin Jefferson for Marvin Harrison Jr., Saquon Barkley, or a package of Kyle Pitts and Deebo Samuel. So when it comes to selling fantasy stocks, listen to Gordon Gecko Ringo, “I am not a destroyer of fantasy players’ stocks. I am a liberator of them. The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms. Greed for life, for love, for money, and for fantasy football titles. And greed, mark my words, will not only save your fantasy football team’s championship dreams but also that other malfunctioning corporation called the U.S.A.”
– Mark Ringo (Sleepers and Busts)

Aaron Jones (RB – MIN)

“If we had Aaron Jones on any of our teams, we would be selling him. This is still a 30-year-old guy with an extensive injury history. Yes, when healthy, there is some potential, but a strong performance against the Montreal Canadiens/New York Giants doesn’t impress us that much. If possible, try to work out a deal with Jones where you can get a Josh Jacobs, or even a Chris Olave. Send out some offers for one of the top tight ends. See what you can get. Jones is a risky player for the rest of the season. You can definitely do better.”
