We are now through 10 weeks of the fantasy football season. Fantasy managers should always be looking to improve their rosters. With that in mind, here are a handful of players to explore trades for, either to buy low on undervalued players or sell high on overvalued ones.
Top Trade Targets To Buy in Your League: Jaxson Dart, QB, New York Giants
Jaxson Dart is a more unconventional buy-low this week, as he is almost sure to miss Week 11 after suffering a concussion against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. However, while no injuries are ever positive, Dart has a good chance of being back for the New York Giants’ Week 12 trip to Detroit.
Since taking over as the Giants’ starter in Week 4, Dart has been the QB3 in fantasy points per game (23.3) and has put up five top-12 fantasy finishes in seven games. Anyone without an elite quarterback option should be enquiring about Dart this week, especially those with a realistic chance of making the playoffs.
It’s easy to be impatient in fantasy, but it’s just as easy to take advantage of the impatience of others. If you can get a discount on Dart this week, you could head into the playoffs with a top-five fantasy quarterback.
Tyrod Taylor, QB, New York Jets
The New York Jets’ dramatic win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8 was always going to extend Justin Fields’ run as the team’s starting quarterback. The Jets then beat the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, which should see the former Bears quarterback get another chance in Week 11.
It’s easy to forget, though, that Fields was set to be replaced before the Cincinnati Game, only for Tyrod Taylor to suffer an injury after being named the starter. The Jets may have won their last two, but Fields’s lack of passing ability is as evident as ever, and it shouldn’t be long before Taylor replaces him once more.
In his lone start this season, Taylor threw for 197 yards and two touchdowns, with one interception, and added 48 extra yards on the ground. He was the QB9 in fantasy that week, and would offer similar dual-threat fantasy upside weekly if named the starter once more.
For those in Superflex leagues, or those needing QB upgrades, Taylor is a savvy stash and is almost certainly available for free on waivers this week.
Derrick Henry, RB, Baltimore Ravens
Derrick Henry has topped 100 rushing yards just three times in nine games this season. He also has just six touchdowns, a stark contrast to the 14 he had this time last year. However, while Henry hasn’t been as efficient as last season, the veteran has still averaged 20 carries per game since the Baltimore Ravens’ Week 7 bye.
Henry’s next five games include two matchups with the hapless Bengals defense and the visit of the New York Jets, who offloaded significant talent at the trade deadline. The Ravens will be favorites for most, if not all, of their remaining games this season, and there should be plenty of run-friendly game scripts.
Henry has still been a productive back, but more consistent touchdowns would push him back up among the best in the game. After two weeks outside the top-12 fantasy backs, it’s worth making trade enquiries this week.
Brashard Smith, RB, Kansas City Chiefs
Brashard Smith is more of a speculative trade target this week, but his price should reflect that. The rookie back has mostly been limited to pass-catching work so far, but the Kansas City Chiefs have shown signs that they are looking to shake up their backfield.
With Isiah Pacheco struggling to regain the efficiency he had before his fibula injury last season, the Chiefs reportedly tried to move for Breece Hall before the trade deadline. That could also be seen as a vote of no confidence in Smith, but it indeed suggests that the team is ready to try something new.
Pacheco, also a seventh-round draft pick, did almost nothing before the bye week of his rookie year, before taking off after the break. Andy Reid’s offense takes some understanding, and Smith may become far more involved from Week 11 on.
As I said, this is a speculative, low-cost, upside shot, but Smith’s ceiling would be phenomenal if he emerges as a full-time back down the stretch.
Michael Pittman, WR, Indianapolis Colts
Those who have benefited from Michael Pittman’s re-emergence this season are unlikely to bite too hard on his Week 10 disappearing act, but it’s worth a shot. Pittman was targeted just twice in Berlin, catching both targets for 19 yards, as Jonathan Taylor dominated the Atlanta Falcons on the ground.
Pittman was the WR10 in FPPG (fantasy point per game) over the opening nine weeks of the season, and averaged 10 targets per game in Weeks 7-9. However, while some players’ reputations can survive a bad week or two, Pittman’s 10th-round preseason ADP tells you that he is not one of them.
Any intelligent fantasy manager will want to hold onto Pittman, but it’s more difficult to ignore such a miserable week at this stage of the season. If you can get the star receiver for mid-to-low-end WR2 value, you should pick him up this week.
Jakobi Meyers, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
Fantasy managers could be forgiven for expecting more from Jakobi Meyers’ Jacksonville Jaguars debut. The former Las Vegas Raider joined a Jaguars offense that was missing its two top wide receivers through injury.
But rather than take over a leading role from the off, Meyers was tied for third on the team in targets against the Houston Texans on Sunday. Parker Washington assumed the team’s WR1 role, leading the Jaguars with seven targets.
However, it’s worth remembering that Meyers had only spent a few days in Jacksonville, including travelling to Houston for the game. Meyers wasn’t signed to play a minimal part in the offense, and should see his opportunities grow from Week 11 on.
If you can get Meyers for flex value this week, he should prove a great addition to your lineup.
T.J. Hockenson, TE, Minnesota Vikings
I was against drafting T.J. Hockenson at his ADP this summer, but his recent fantasy performances may have opened a buy-low window. The veteran Minnesota Vikings tight end was taken sixth at the position in fantasy drafts this year, but has returned only one top-six weekly finish in nine games.
Hockenson’s 2.8 fantasy points against the Ravens on Sunday were his second-fewest of the season, and he has produced only two double-digit fantasy scores all year. However, better weeks may lie ahead, starting in Week 11.
All of Hockenson’s last five opponents were top-half defenses against tight ends in fantasy heading into Sunday’s games. His next five opponents all ranked in the bottom half against the position.
That includes the Bears, Green Bay Packers, Washington Commanders, and Seattle Seahawks, who all allowed at least 15.2 FPPG to tight ends from Weeks 1-9. Hockenson isn’t worth splashing out for, but is worth a flyer if you can get him for minimal cost this week.
Mason Taylor, TE, New York Jets
Mason Taylor has appeared in several of these articles throughout the course of the season. But after initially breaking out against the Miami Dolphins in Week 4, things have taken a dip for the rookie recently.
Taylor caught his first NFL touchdown in the Jets’ Week 9 victory over the Bengals, but he was then targeted just twice against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. That was in part due to the rain, and in part due to Justin Fields’ apparent lack of interest in throwing the ball.
If I’m right, and Fields is benched again in the near future, then Taylor would have weekly top-10 upside with his namesake throwing him the ball. Tyrod would make a massive difference to the Jets’ passing attack, and Mason would be a big part of that.
The rookie is likely available on waivers in many leagues and is admittedly a stash at this point, but his value will multiply if Tyrod takes over.
Top Trade Targets To Sell in Your League: Caleb Williams, QB, Chicago Bears
Caleb Williams has again been a high-upside, volatile fantasy asset in 2025, with five top-10 finishes in nine games. There is a temptation to stick with Williams in the hope that Chicago’s offense continues to improve under Ben Johnson.
However, it’s also reasonable to expect a drop-off in the weeks ahead, when you look at Chicago’s schedule. Six of Williams’ seven top-20 fantasy finishes have come against defenses that ranked in the bottom-10 against quarterbacks in fantasy entering Week 10.
Looking ahead, six of the Bears’ final seven fantasy-relevant weeks are against teams whose defenses rank in the top half against quarterbacks in fantasy. The Bears are on a roll, but Williams’ fantasy totals have correlated fairly closely with his opposition so far.
If that continues, moving him on for mid-to-low-end QB1 value this week would prove a smart move.
Alvin Kamara, RB, New Orleans Saints
Alvin Kamara rushed 22 times against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, something he hasn’t done since Week 13 of last season. He also topped 80 rushing yards for only the second time this year, as the New Orleans Saints kept the Panthers at arm’s length.
However, Kamara’s Week 10 production may have counted for nothing in many leagues, as the veteran had put up several bench-worthy performances in the weeks prior. The Panthers were a bottom-10 run defense heading into Sunday’s games, but it was their limp offense that allowed the Saints to adopt a run-heavy approach on Sunday.
Tyler Shough also had a better game this past weekend, but it would be a surprise if the Saints can recreate those positive game scripts every week moving forward.
Tyler Allgeier, RB, Atlanta Falcons
Tyler Allgeier ranks among the league’s most valuable running back handcuffs, but his touchdown upside makes him a weekly start/sit nightmare. Coming off a two-touchdown game against the Colts in Berlin, this might be the ideal time to move on from the Falcons’ backup.
Allgeier has produced five usable fantasy weeks this season, all because of touchdowns. In the four games that he has failed to score in, the fourth-year back has averaged 1.5 PPR points per game.
If you have plenty of depth, Allgeier is worth holding in case of an injury to Bijan Robinson, but if you could use an extra flex option, Allgeier is a tradeable asset.
Jerry Jeudy, WR, Cleveland Browns
Jerry Jeudy won’t be coronated as a top-tier fantasy receiver overnight, but his Week 10 stat line will have caught the eye. Jeudy caught six of 12 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown against the Jets, despite the rain, and looks like the clear WR1 in Cleveland.
However, those 12 targets are his second-most of the year, and he caught just two passes in his previous two games combined. Also, Cedric Tillman is working his way back to full strength and was targeted four times on Sunday.
If you can leverage Jeudy’s spike week, he might be better off on someone else’s roster for the rest of the season.
Parker Washington, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
Likewise, Parker Washington is coming off his best week of the season. The Jaguars receiver boosted his fantasy score with a special-teams touchdown, adding to his receiving score in the first quarter.
Washington now has back-to-back games with at least 17 fantasy points, strengthening his trade value. However, with Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter still to return from injury, and the Meyers as mentioned earlier likely to get more looks in the future, the sell-high window won’t last long.
David Njoku, TE, Cleveland Browns
David Njoku isn’t coming off a massive week, but he has now scored a touchdown in three of his last four games. Outside his touchdowns, though, Njoku continues to disappoint, and he continues to be out-targeted by rookie Harold Fannin Jr.
Njoku’s usage is not dissimilar to Mark Andrews’ in Baltimore, but the Ravens are a much more capable offense than the Browns. Things could change if the Browns were to make a change at quarterback, but there’s no way of projecting that with any confidence.
For now, though, Njoku still carries some name value, and his touchdown volume could tempt some decent offers this week.
