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 – Jayden Reed
I will be the first to admit that guessing who the correct Green Bay WR is that is going off each week is like guessing numbers on the roulette wheel. It’s impossible to know, but Reed is finally healthy, and he’s always been a fan favorite of Jordan Love. If Reed is on the wire and you are in a 12 or 14-man league, I would pick him up ASAP just for added depth. Keep in mind, Reed is a zone killer, so he can be matchup-based when in need of playing him.
Buy – Amon Ra St Brown
Most of you out there are probably wondering why St Brown is listed under a BUY, but listen up. He’s definitely not playing tonight, and a lot of teams are desperate, fighting for a spot in the playoffs, so it’s basically win or go home. So my thought process is that St. Brown owners who are fighting for a playoff spot are desperate, and what better way to obtain a top 6 WR than doing business with a desperate manager?
Sell – Emeka Egbuka
Egbuka lit the world on fire right out of the gate, scoring two touchdowns in his first NFL game ever. He continues to dominate for the first 5-6 weeks, but has since cooled off a bit. I do think he has a big game this week, and that’s exactly why I say sell. Mike Evans is coming back, and so is the rest of the Calverley. He’s going to lose more and more targets each week from here on out, I guarantee you. And on top of that, Godwin finally looked healthy last week as he had a solid game and dropped a touchdown as well. Do yourself a favor and sell for the upside in hopes that another doesn’t realize Evans is returning soon.
Sell- Rhamondre Stevenson
I’ll take a page out of the Willie Walls playbook right here and say this guy stinks! He stinks, and he looks slow on the field as well. The world wants to see Henderson get more touches, but Vrabel keeps playing games. He’s averaging a grotesque 3.2 YPC while Henderson is at 4.8 with 28 more carries on the season. If you can find a team that lacks RB depth, I would be selling Rhamondre as of yesterday.
Hold – Brian Thomas Jr
What an ugly season it’s been for BTJ. There’s only one man I heard all off-season saying BTJ was a hard pass and being over-drafted. Kudos to you, Jeff Mans. Between the hand issue causing drops early in the season, so inconsistent play from him and the QB, along with injuries to BTJ, it’s been a real sophomore setback. The good news is that if you have him, you have to start him. Yes, I still hold optimism that he will finish the season strong. He’s only at one TD all season, which in my book means positive regression is on the way, along with some favorable matchups in the fantasy playoffs.
Hold – Jordan Mason
This one is a flyer, but it’s worth a shot if you own him or he’s available on the wire. Mason has definitely looked like a shell of himself compared to last season, but he is still in a good spot, and we know what the talent looks like when playing at a high level. Starter Aaron Jones is hurt once again, and there’s a possibility he is eased back into the lineup, held out for a few weeks, or maybe even shut down, seeing as Minnesota isn’t going anywhere this season. But if Mason is the starter, he will see volume in the rushing and passing game, along with a good fantasy playoff schedule. He’s worth a spot on your bench.
