Fantasy Football Buy-Low Trade Targets
QB Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Baker Mayfield is enjoying the best season of his NFL career in 2024. Still, his recent performance dip and the fact that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on a bye this week could present an opportunity for savvy fantasy managers to acquire him at a discount.
While Mayfield has had a solid season overall, a poor outing in his last game, combined with the upcoming bye, might leave some managers down on him. This could make him a prime buy-low candidate.
One key reason to target Mayfield for the remainder of the season is the offensive environment he’s in. The Buccaneers defense has been among the league’s worst, regularly giving up a lot of points, which forces Mayfield and the offense to stay aggressive and play catch-up. This often results in high-volume passing games for Mayfield, boosting his fantasy potential.
Looking ahead, the most significant boost for Mayfield’s fantasy value is the return of his No. 1 target, Mike Evans, after the bye. While Mayfield has managed to stay productive without Evans, his return will give the QB a huge weapon to work within the second half of the season. As we head into the stretch run, Mayfield should be able to thrive with Evans back in the lineup, especially with critical games down the stretch.

Mayfield’s schedule also sets up nicely for the fantasy playoffs. He faces Carolina twice, including a matchup in Week 17, which could be crucial for fantasy championship week. Other than a tougher matchup against the Chargers in Week 15, Mayfield's upcoming slate features favorable matchups, making him an intriguing option for those looking to upgrade their quarterback position for the home stretch of the fantasy season.
WR Jauan Jennings, San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings has quietly emerged as a key piece of the offense, especially following the injury to fellow receiver Brandon Aiyuk earlier in the season. Jennings has been a reliable target in the 49ers’ high-powered offense. Still, his recent injury could make him a prime trade target for fantasy managers looking to capitalize on an owner who may be wary of his injury history.
With the 49ers offense slowly getting healthier—Christian McCaffrey is returning from an Achilles injury, and Brock Purdy has also been playing at a high level—there’s reason to believe this offense will hit its stride down the stretch. San Francisco’s offense is one of the most dynamic in the NFL, and adding any piece of it could be a game-changer for fantasy managers looking to bolster their rosters for the playoff push.
Despite McCaffrey’s return and the 49ers' offense looking ready to take off, Jennings is still a relatively cheap option in fantasy leagues, making him a great buy-low candidate.
In Week 10, even with McCaffrey back, Jennings earned an impressive 11 targets, showing plenty of opportunity to go around in the 49ers’ explosive offense. If you can grab him now, his value may rise significantly as the offense continues to fire on all cylinders. If you’re looking for a reliable WR3 or flex play with upside, Jauan Jennings is a solid, under-the-radar target before his price skyrockets.
WR Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
If you want to add a top-tier wide receiver to your roster for the playoff push, now is the perfect time to target Mike Evans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Evans is currently on a bye and has missed multiple weeks due to a hamstring injury, which has likely caused his value to dip.
However, with the bye week giving him time to heal, Evans should be ready to return to action fully healthy and reclaim his dominant role in the Buccaneers' offense. This presents a prime opportunity for savvy fantasy managers to swoop in and acquire him at a discount before his value rebounds.
Much like Baker Mayfield, Evans has a favorable schedule for the remainder of the season, including a fantasy championship matchup against Carolina in Week 17. With the Buccaneers’ passing game expected to stay aggressive and no elite shutdown corners on the horizon, Evans should be poised for a solid finish to the season. His ability to rack up yards and touchdowns, even in less-than-ideal team situations, makes him a highly attractive fantasy asset.

Additionally, with Chris Godwin now out for the season, Evans is poised to inherit an even larger target share. This only increases his upside in an offense that loves to air it out. If you can make a deal for Evans now, you could get a high-volume, high-upside wide receiver for your playoff run. Don’t miss the chance to add a proven veteran who can dominate down the stretch—Evans is a great buy-low candidate with massive upside.
Fantasy Football Sell-High Trade Targets
RB D’Andre Swift, Chicago Bears
This season, D'Andre Swift has been one of the few bright spots for the Chicago Bears, providing consistent fantasy production amid the team’s struggles. However, with the rest of the season shaping up to be difficult for Swift, now may be the perfect time to cash in on his value while it's still high.
Looking ahead, the Bears face a brutal schedule for running backs, including two matchups each against the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions, two of the league’s top run defenses. These challenging matchups, coupled with the Bears’ ongoing issues along the offensive line—particularly with key players battling injuries—could spell trouble for Swift’s production in the coming weeks.
The Bears’ inability to generate consistent push in the running game makes it increasingly likely that Swift’s efficiency will take a hit.
The Bears' fantasy production against the Patriots:
🤔 Caleb Williams: 6.3 fantasy points
🤔 D'Andre Swift: 7 fantasy points
🤔 DJ Moore: 4.2 fantasy points
🤔 Rome Odunze: 3.8 fantasy points
🤔 Cole Kmet: 2.3 fantasy pointsIs any Bears player startable in fantasy?

Additionally, the Bears are likely to play from behind more often with a difficult schedule ahead, which will result in fewer rushing attempts and more reliance on the passing game. While Swift can contribute as a pass-catcher, as evidenced by his disappointing performance last week, when he was nearly shut out, it’s not guaranteed that he’ll see enough volume to maintain his RB2/RB3 value.
Now is the time to move Swift while he still has substantial trade value. If you’re looking to shore up other positions for the playoff push or simply want to avoid the looming regression, selling Swift now could be the smart move before his value dives into the face of a demanding schedule and a likely decline in opportunities.
TE Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens
Mark Andrews has been on a solid run recently, delivering strong fantasy performances, but there are factors on the horizon that could limit his upside moving forward. With fellow tight end Isaiah Likely set to return from injury soon, Andrews will again face competition for tight end targets in the Ravens’ offense—making now the ideal time to sell high on Andrews while his value is peaking.
Andrews has been particularly effective over the past few weeks, but much of his production has been driven by touchdowns, which are notoriously unpredictable and challenging to sustain. He’s found the end zone in four of his last five games, a streak unlikely to continue at such a high rate.
While the Ravens’ offense can put up big points, the team has multiple playmakers—Zay Flowers and Derrick Henry, most notably—all of whom are vying for touches, which means there are fewer opportunities for Andrews in the red zone.
Furthermore, the Ravens’ schedule down the stretch is demanding, with matchups against the Chargers, Eagles, Texans, and Steelers twice looming. The Ravens' offense could struggle against these formidable defenses, which limits Andrews' chances of maintaining his high touchdown rate.
Additionally, Week 14 will see the Ravens on a bye, and for many fantasy teams pushing for a playoff spot, this could be a critical week where you can no longer rely on Andrews’ production to carry you.

With the return of Likely and a challenging slate ahead, selling Andrews now, while his value is high, allows you to capitalize on his recent hot streak and secure a solid return in trades before his production inevitably regresses.
RB Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City Cheifs
While Isiah Pacheco is about to make his return from a broken leg and fantasy managers may be excited about his potential, now might be the perfect time to trade him away before his value starts to dip. Though Pacheco is a vital component of the Kansas City Chiefs offense when healthy, the team will likely ease him back in slowly, prioritizing his long-term health for the playoffs as they chase a third consecutive Super Bowl title.
This cautious approach limits his immediate upside, and now is an excellent time to capitalize on his peak value before the inevitable regression.
When Pacheco returns, he won’t immediately be the lone workhorse. Kareem Hunt, who has stepped in admirably during Pacheco’s absence, will likely continue splitting the backfield duties, at least for the short term. While Hunt has been a stable option, his presence will further limit Pacheco’s workload, especially in the early weeks back.
Additionally, the Chiefs have a tough road ahead regarding their running back schedule. After easing Pacheco back into action, he’ll face some of the most formidable run defenses in the league. The Chargers, Texans, and Steelers—all of whom are tough against the run—are on the schedule, including key matchups during the fantasy playoffs.
With Pacheco’s value at its peak right now and a challenging stretch ahead, it’s wise to move him while other fantasy managers still hope he can regain his pre-injury form.
If you’re looking to upgrade at another position or want to avoid the potential for inconsistent usage and tough matchups, now is the time to sell Pacheco and take advantage of the hype surrounding his return.
