As the fantasy football season progresses, managing a roster through strategic trades is essential for success. Analyst Justin Boone has released his latest rest-of-season trade value charts, identifying specific players that fantasy managers should look to acquire or offload before their market value shifts.
Players to Buy
Zay Flowers, WR, Ravens: While the addition of Jacoby Brissett is not a total solution for Baltimore, it offers Flowers a path back to elite production. Flowers benefits from a favorable schedule over the next three weeks, including matchups against the Chargers, Panthers, and Texans. Although a Week 13 bye is approaching, he remains a strong target for those seeking a high-end WR2 or low-end WR1.
Parker Washington, WR, Jaguars: Despite recent concerns regarding his yardage totals, Washington remains a key part of an offense that frequently builds large leads. He maintains a top-10 fantasy schedule for receivers, including two upcoming games against a Tennessee defense that allows the most points to the position. He is a solid WR2 with potential for WR1 performances.
DJ Moore, WR, Bills: Following a difficult outing against the Vikings, Moore is a prime “buy-low” candidate. When healthy and playing at least 60% of snaps, he has demonstrated high-level production as Josh Allen’s primary target. If he can avoid further injuries, he is positioned to be a reliable WR2.
Josh Jacobs, RB, Packers: This acquisition is recommended for managers already secure in a playoff position, as Jacobs is currently recovering from finger surgery. While he will miss time, his schedule upon returning includes several favorable matchups against defenses like the Saints, Bills, and Dolphins. He is expected to be a valuable asset for the fantasy postseason.
Players to Sell
Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys: Despite being a serviceable low-end QB1, Prescott has struggled to consistently finish as a top-8 weekly option. With a challenging December schedule that includes games against the Seahawks, Rams, and Jaguars, managers aiming for a championship should look for more reliable alternatives at the quarterback position.
Nico Collins, WR, Texans: Although he is the top receiver in Houston, C.J. Stroud’s tendency to spread the ball has limited Collins’ target share. Having finished outside the top 30 wideouts in three of his last four games, Collins has shifted into the WR2 range. Managers are advised to package him with another player to secure a high-end RB1 or WR1 in return.
Tony Pollard, RB, Titans: After a productive stretch, Pollard faces a difficult road ahead. The Titans’ upcoming schedule includes a tough matchup against a strengthened Jaguars defense, followed by challenging games against the Commanders, Lions, and Steelers. Given the volatility of the Tennessee offense, it is an ideal time to trade Pollard while his value is high.
Blake Corum, RB, Rams: Corum has been productive recently, but his outlook is clouded by injuries to the Rams’ receiving corps, which may force the team into less favorable game scripts. With a bye week approaching and a difficult series of opponents later in the season, including the Chiefs and 49ers, managers should consider trading him now while his performance is at its peak.
