Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Amari Cooper (WR – CLE)

Amari Cooper is the WR41, averaging 8.7 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, totaling 5.5 or fewer in all but one contest. However, he is prime to break out of his poor start. The veteran is getting the volume, ranking sixth in the NFL with 37 targets, seeing at least eight every game. Furthermore, Cooper leads the team in end zone targets (three) and first-read target share (30.2%) this season (per Fantasy Points Data). His next two opponents are the Washington Commanders and the Philadelphia Eagles. The two NFC East teams have surrendered the most and second-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this year. Meanwhile, Cooper could get moved before the trade deadline. I would happily sell high on Jordan Addison for the veteran receiver.”

Brian Thomas Jr. (WR – JAC)

Brian Thomas Jr.is a priority buy-low target for me at the moment. To be clear, he’s a buy-high, but you’ll be buying him lower than you should be able to. Through the first month of the season, BTJ is the half-ppr WR15 in a struggling Jacksonville offense. And while Christian Kirk has more targets and Evan Engram remains sidelined, Thomas still holds the inside track to becoming the Jags’ No. 1 target as the season progresses. We know that rookie WRs typically turn it on in the second half of the season, but Thomas has started hot and has now seen nine targets in back-to-back games. I’d easily send Xavier Worthy, Khalil Shakir, or D’Andre Swift to acquire BTJ today.”

Tyreek Hill (WR – MIA)

“Buy Tyreek Hill yesterday. Like, get him on your team right now. Since Tua went down, he has struggled significantly with 6, 7, and 8 fantasy points over the last three weeks. Either one of two things will happen: 1. Tua will return, vaulting Tyreek Hill back to top 12 WR status, or 2. he will be traded to another team… vaulting Tyreek Hill back to top 12 WR status. The point is he won’t be like this for long, so take your opportunity to get him on your team.”
Morgan Colby (The Fantasy Champions)

Tyreek Hill (WR – MIA) | Jaylen Waddle (WR – MIA)

“Once Tim Boyle is the QB for the Dolphins, both Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle will return to their glory numbers. Tim Boyle is the most underrated QB in NFL history, next to Kurt Warner, and both of those weapons will get deep downfield with big plays again. As long as Tyler Huntley and Skylar Thompson take snaps, Hill and Waddle will see their values decline. The second Tim Boyle is the QB, both WRs will return to the glory days. I would try to get Jaylen Waddle for an RB like Rachaad White or Bucky Irving; with that being said, you can let both WRs’ values drop another two weeks since Huntley is starting Week 5, and the Dolphins’ Bye is Week 6.”
