We are now through two weeks of the fantasy football season. Fantasy managers should always be looking to improve their rosters.
With that in mind, we recently listed a number of players fantasy managers should try to trade for, either to buy low on those who are undervalued or sell high on the overvalued ones. But if you’re only interested in quarterback and tight end trade targets, we’ve got you covered.
Anthony Richardson, QB, Indianapolis Colts
There’s no sugarcoating it — Anthony Richardson was bad against the Packers.
Head coach Matt LaFleur had a plan to win that game with Malik Willis, and he executed it. A big part of it was stymying Richardson.

Despite Richardson’s poor outing, though, he showed his elite upside, as 12.8 fantasy points is not terrible for a quarterback who threw one touchdown and three interceptions. He still ran for 37 yards on just four attempts.
Next week could be another tough outing, as the Colts face a tough Steelers defense. After that, though, things should lighten up, and Richardson may really be able to take off.
Either buy now or wait a week and buy after Week 3.
Brock Bowers, TE, Las Vegas Raiders
The idea is to buy low…most of the time. Sometimes, you just need to buy high. Brock Bowers is, in fact, the truth. He is everything that was promised.
Bowers was dubbed the greatest tight end prospect of all time. Through two weeks, he looks the part.

Bowers now has 17 targets through two games. In Week 2, he caught all nine of his targets for 98 yards against a good Ravens defense.
It’s unlikely you can buy Bowers for a discount, but I’m not quite sure he’s being valued as an elite TE just yet.
As an example, I would rather Bowers for the rest of the season over Mark Andrews, Evan Engram, and George Kittle. I am one week away from putting him ahead of Sam LaPorta, too.
