Each week, I’ll break down the players I think you should buy low, sell high, or hold onto as the fantasy season unfolds. Whether you’re chasing a playoff spot or trying to keep your roster steady, these moves can give you the edge you need to stay ahead of the competition.
Buy- Brandon Aubrey
I normally don’t write an article on kickers, but I found this to be a good time to change it up. Mr. Aubrey has had two straight games with only two total field goals. You may say, “Well, who cares?” but having an elite kicker like Aubrey should make you care. He may be the only kicker in the league who outscores wide receivers some weeks, which can help give you that added advantage down the stretch of the season heading into fantasy playoffs. He pushed a 68-yard FG to the left on Monday night, which looked like it had the distance from 71 yards, and he plays in a dome, which is huge come this time of year. He only has 11 points in the last two weeks, but he averages 10.2 points per game and ranks #2 at the position, only 4 points behind the leader. He’s on a bye this week, so I would be scrounging waivers to see who dropped him, thinking nobody will notice. He’s the set it & forget it at the position.

Buy – D’Andre Swift
I was all over Swift entering the year, as most I know weren’t. The best part about it was I was getting him in rounds 5, 6, & 7 while I had a feeling he would put up top 20 production. Well, entering week 9, he ranked as RB 11, which is amazing. His last great year was in the same Ben Johnson offense with Detroit. I do think Johnson held out Swift in week 9 to get healthy, and not because Swift was unable to play. His backup, Monangai, looked fantastic in his place, and all the rumors are that the backfield will be more of a split now. I’m not buying it; Swift is more explosive, has elite receiving skills, & has done nothing to lose carries. My advice is to buy low on Swift owners before his fantastic matchup in week 10.
Sell – Stefon Diggs
Let’s be honest, Diggs’ prime days are definitely behind him, but coming off an ACL injury, he has performed beyond my expectations so far this season. His quarterback has been playing lights out, and Diggs does have touchdowns in back-to-back weeks, but the issue is that Drake Maye is a spreader. Diggs doesn’t command the targets he was getting in Buffalo. His value is high right now, coming off two solid performances, so if you are deep at the position but lack another position, I would highly look into dealing Diggs.
Sell – Garrett Wilson
Wilson has been a great value in fantasy this season. Loads of talent, but unfortunately, he plays on the Jets. He currently ranks as WR31, averaging 16.6 points a game. If we look a bit deeper, he doesn’t have a 100-yard game this season, and he’s missed the last three weeks coming off an injury. On top of all that, the Jets just let off a fire sale, and I won’t be shocked if this team doesn’t win more than 1 game this season. What’s the equivalent of? Players are giving up. The dumpster fire is the Jets. Sell Wilson before it’s too late.
Hold – Travis Etienne Jr
ETN has remained our fantasy owners this season, which is why he was a monster in 2023. It’s amazing what a good coaching staff mixed with a good offensive system can do for talented players. ETN is a bell cow running back, and he got back on track last week with 22 touches, along with 5 receptions. Don’t think twice about it, fire him up, sit back, and sleep like a baby.
Hold- Rome Odunze
It’s hard to believe the Bears put up 47 points, and Rome ended the day with a goose egg. He has definitely cooled off in the last month in his fantasy production. Ending October with 11 receptions, 177 yards, and zero touchdowns. Am I concerned? Not at all. The Bears defense is bad, which is great for fantasy production. Rome will continue to be a big part of this Ben Johnson offense. He’s got a great matchup heading into Week 10, so do yourself a favor and relax. I’ll call it now, he’s getting back on track in Week 10.
