After months of waiting, we finally got to watch real, live football that actually matters. Week 1 of the fantasy football season is now just about in the books.
Fantasy managers should always be looking to improve their rosters. With that in mind, Pro Football Network recently examined a handful of buy-low targets and sell-high options. Here are the running backs who are interesting trade options.
Top RBs To Buy Low
Najee Harris, Pittsburgh Steelers
I never thought I’d be recommending Najee Harris. Yet, here we are.
Perhaps Jaylen Warren was limited by his hamstring strain. If he was, he sure didn’t look it. When on the field, Warren was fine. The issue is he wasn’t on the field.
Harris played 16 more snaps than Warren, but handled 18 more carries. He also ran five more routes. This did not look like a timeshare.
Harris’ game would have been much bigger had he been able to find the end zone. But no one on the Steelers found the end zone. They will obviously score touchdowns in the future. When they get to the goal line, I expect it to be heavy on Harris. He looks like a weekly RB2 that may not be viewed as one.
D’Andre Swift, Chicago Bears
I’m still not a huge fan of D’Andre Swift. This is a bet on usage. Swift dominated snaps in the Bears’ backfield in Week 1, playing 70%. No other running back played more than 20%. If this usage is going to continue, Swift will have bigger games when Caleb Williams gets into the swing of things.
Only buy Swift if he’s cheap. But I now think he may be able to return low-RB2 value. If you can buy him for an RB3 price, it’s worth taking the gamble.
