Buy Low & Sell High Trade Targets Ahead of Week 4 + Worry-O-Meter (09/30 Fantasy Football Podcast)

Aaron Jones is a potential trade target, though his value is currently high relative to his draft position, making him a solid starter if acquired.

Alvin Kamara has seen zero snaps inside the 10-yard line and only one third-down snap this season, limiting his fantasy upside.

In a trade evaluation, Year Up United's suggests that acquiring Alvin Kamara and Ladd McConkey in exchange for Parker Washington is a favorable move, rating the trade as an 'F' for the side giving up Kamara.

In a trade involving Nico Collins, DJ Moore, and Scadaboo for Bijan Robinson and AJ Brown, Year Up United's confirms that the side receiving Bijan Robinson wins the trade.

Breece Hall is a high-value asset who is unlikely to be traded at a discount, despite a tough defensive schedule ahead.

Bryce Young's performance is declining, largely due to the offensive line unraveling following Damian Lewis's elbow injury.

Bucky Irving is a sell-high candidate because the Buccaneers' offense faces a tough schedule and Jalen Daniels' tendency to run may reduce running back targets.

Chase Brown is a preferred buy-low running back, though he remains expensive and requires trading with a running-back-rich manager to acquire.

Chase Brown is identified as a high-priority target for managers looking to trade away a top-tier quarterback like Josh Allen, with Year Up United's ranking him higher than other potential RB1 returns.

In a trade involving Chris Olave, Jeremiah Love, and Tyler Warren for Devante Smith, Saquon Barkley, and Nico Collins, Year Up United's expresses a slight preference for the side receiving Olave, noting the trade is very even.

Christian Watson is performing as a top-12 wide receiver, currently sitting at WR4. He is seeing an outstanding target share, averaging 9.7 targets per game. Year Up United's believes he could remain a top-10 wide receiver for the rest of the season if the Packers maintain their pass-heavy approach.

Chuba Hubbard has emerged as a reliable fantasy asset and is now viewed as an RB1 for the rest of the season. He took over the lead back role for the Panthers following Jonathan Brooks' injury and has looked impressive, providing significant value to managers who drafted him late.

Colston Loveland is viewed as a major disappointment and a potential bust candidate. While he was a popular breakout pick, his fantasy value has cratered due to the emergence of Kalief Raymond, who has carved out a consistent role in the Bears' offense. Loveland is being dropped in 10-team leagues, and with the quarterback situation currently in flux, he is not considered a 'screaming buy-low' candidate.

DJ Moore is a buy-low target following a shoulder injury, with consistent target volume (8 and 10 targets in healthy games) suggesting better production ahead.

D'Andre Swift is a preferred trade target over Saquon Barkley, as he has secured a larger workload while others have been injured.

DeAndre Swift is considered a strong return in trades, specifically when moving players like Tony Pollard and DJ Moore, or when trading a high-end quarterback like Josh Allen.

Davante Adams is a sell-high candidate, as his current elite production is expected to decline once Puka Nacua returns to the field.

The analysts express concern regarding DK Metcalf's usage and performance, noting that he has struggled against top cornerbacks like Christian Gonzalez and DJ Turner. While his targets have remained consistent, he is failing to convert them into catches, leading to frustration despite the lack of defensive shying away from him.

DK Metcalf is a flex-range play for the upcoming game. While he has struggled to break 50 yards in games this year and faces potential shadowing from Denzel Ward, he remains a viable flex option due to the Browns' tendency to play single-high coverage, which historically benefits him.

Harold Fannin is a sell-high candidate because his recent touchdowns were fluky and he was not the primary target on those plays.

Harold Fannin Jr. is a borderline starting tight end. While he has been productive, he is not currently a top-12 tight end for Year Up United's, who prefers players like Waller and Likely depending on practice reports.

Likely is a concern for fantasy managers due to uncertainty in the Giants' passing game and his need to build chemistry with Jameis Winston after previously prepping with Jackson Dart. While he had a 10-target game, his recent usage has been inconsistent, and he is considered a 'start with caution' option until he shows more production. The upcoming matchups against Arizona and Washington are viewed as 'prove-it' games for the entire Giants offense.

Jalen Coker is highlighted as a potential steal of the draft. Before his injury, he was outproducing teammates and performing like a top-20 wide receiver, showing strong chemistry with Bryce Young.

Jalen Hurts is viewed as a disappointment relative to his high draft capital, with analysts noting a decline in fantasy points per game over three consecutive weeks and a significant drop in rushing attempts (averaging 5.3 per game compared to higher historical marks). While he is still averaging over 20 fantasy points, concerns persist regarding the new offensive scheme, his lack of play-action usage, and the team's high three-and-out rate.

Jameson Williams is struggling to produce because Jared Goff is forced to take check-downs due to opponents playing deep coverage against the Lions.

Jaden Daniels is delaying elbow surgery until the off-season, though his status for the upcoming London game against the Colts remains uncertain.

Despite two disappointing games out of three, analysts are buying Jalen Waddle due to his seven-target performance in Week 3 and an improving Broncos offense. While he has faced tough cornerbacks, his future schedule is viewed as favorable, and he is seen as having plenty of upside as a WR2.

Jalen Warren is the primary start for the Steelers-Browns game. He is a borderline RB1, though his value would shift to a mid-range RB2 if Rico Dattel returns to the lineup. Warren has shown efficiency, including 127 yards on 17 carries against the Bengals, and faces a Browns defense that struggles against the run.

Jalen Wright's FAAB value is highly volatile, with bids ranging from 5% to 35% across different leagues.

For managers holding both Josh Allen and Brock Purdy, trading Allen for an RB1 is a viable strategy. Target returns include Chase Brown, Kyren Williams, or Breece Hall, with David Montgomery also mentioned as a realistic return.

Trading Bucky Irving and Tee Higgins for Josh Jacobs and Drake London is generally discouraged by Year Up United's, who rates the move as a 'C-'.

Kalief Raymond is considered a major waiver wire steal. He has become a consistent part of the Bears' offense, averaging seven targets per game with a 91% catch rate. He is viewed as a top-20 per-game receiver and a must-add player.

Keaton Mitchell is an explosive, low-cost target who could potentially earn more touches in the Chargers' offense, similar to Devon Achane's role under Mike McDaniel.

Kyle Pitts is labeled as a major bust candidate. Despite his high salary, he remains completely uninvolved in the offense, and his production has been inconsistent, with only four good games out of a 13-game sample size with his current quarterback.

Nabers is currently viewed with higher concern than Isaiah Likely on the 'worry-o-meter' due to the overall poor outlook for the Giants' offense. The team is projected to be one of the worst offenses in the NFL for the remainder of the season, which limits the upside for all pass-catchers involved.

Ollie Gordon is a high-priority waiver wire target, with FAAB bids in FFT Open leagues frequently reaching 30% or more of the budget.

There is significant uncertainty regarding Puka Nacua's return timeline, which makes trading him away in packages for players like George Pickens and Jalen Warren a difficult decision for fantasy managers.

Quinshawn Judkins is seeing consistent volume with 17+ touches per game, though he has yet to break through to the 15 PPR point range.

RJ Harvey is a cheap, low-cost acquisition who receives targets and benefits from a favorable schedule, serving as a viable RB2 option.

Saquon Barkley has recorded 9, 3, and 9 PPR points in his first three games, making him a consistent but low-ceiling producer in decimal scoring leagues.

Heath Cummings expresses concern about Saquon Barkley's role, specifically his limited route participation (27% in Week 1, 45% in Week 3) compared to last year. With Dallas Goedert's return expected to further squeeze his involvement, there is worry that Barkley will not provide the production expected of a second-round pick, especially given his lack of passing game usage.

Heath Cummings identifies Terry McLaurin as a buy-low candidate, noting that he will improve despite a poor start averaging under 10 PPR points per game.

Travis Etienne's trade value is at a low point due to injury, making him a potential buy-low candidate.

Tucker Craft is averaging a 14% target share, which is a concern, but analysts note the sample size is small and he is playing in an offense where Jordan Love frequently throws over 40 times per game. There is uncertainty regarding his current form and ability to produce consistently.

Woody Marks is a cheap running back option who has shown involvement in the two-minute offense and goal-line work.

Despite a small sample size, Zay Flowers is showing elite efficiency with 9.4 yards per route run. While historical data on Ravens receivers with high yards-per-route-run metrics is mixed, Flowers is trending toward being a 'league winner' similar to JSN or Puka Nacua, despite the team's offensive evolution.
