Below, we’re looking at the full trade value chart for Week 8 and a few of the week’s biggest risers and fallers. We’ve somehow zoomed past the halfway point in the fantasy season, and the fantasy playoffs are now on the horizon. To prep your team for the second half of the season, you may new to bring in some new talent. If you’re thinking of making a trade, you’ve come to the right place.
The trade value chart uses our rest-of-season projections to assign values to every relevant player. The dollar amounts assume a 12-team league and a starting lineup of 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, and 1 Flex. The players are displayed in order of their standard league values, but we’ve included the PPR values for those players as well.
Jay Ajayi was a big riser in this week’s trade value chart. He’s still seeking his first touchdown of the season, but he’s posted three straight games with at least 25 attempts. That’s elite volume, and the touchdowns will follow soon enough.
Carson Wentz skyrocketed up the trade value chart and is now the QB3. He leads the league in touchdowns (17) and has four scores in two of his past three outings. Simply put, Wentz is on fire. He’s a good sell-high candidate, as he’s unlikely to keep tossing three and four touchdowns every single week.
Amari Cooper was another riser, climbing $9.0 to earn the WR21 spot in standard leagues. Cooper flashed his elite ceiling in Week 7, and his “buy low” window probably closed as a result. In general, Cooper is probably floating in no-man’s land right now. It’ll be hard to sell high on him, because it’s not like Weeks 1-6 didn’t happen, and it’ll be hard to buy low, too, because it’s not like Week 7 didn’t happen. If you can buy low, do it; and if you can sell high (think tail-end WR1), do it.
One week after using this space to note that Jerick McKinnon was a big riser, he’s back in the article as one of the biggest fallers. We noted last week that McKinnon isn’t a workhorse because he was splitting time with Latavius Murray, and that came to light in Week 7, as Murray pounded the rock 18 times for 113 yards and a score. McKinnon will be volatile. He’ll be a sell-high candidate after big weeks, and a buy-low candidate on off weeks.
Martavis Bryant saw his stock plummet this week, and he’s reaching droppable status. He has just one came with more than three receptions, and he has 30 or fewer yards in five of seven games this year, including each of the past three. Our best hope is that Bryant is traded in real life. I’d be willing to trade spare parts for him in fantasy — but nobody starter-worthy.
