Week 2 Fantasy Football Trade Targets: Players to Buy, Sell & Hold (Ep. 2193)

Bo Nix struggled significantly in Week 1, appearing rattled and out of sync with his receivers. He faced constant pressure and failed to make the correct reads, leading to a poor offensive showing for the Broncos.

Strange is a viable fill-in tight end while waiting for Brock Bowers to return. He is touchdown-dependent in the Jaguars' offense, but acceptable for standard or half-PPR formats.

Tate is a sell candidate due to the poor state of the Tennessee Titans offense. Despite leading the team with 6 targets, the offense failed to produce, and the quarterback play from Cam Ward was discouraging. It is better to trade him while there is still some optimism rather than waiting for the offense to potentially collapse further.

Chris Rodriguez is viewed as a secondary option in the Jacksonville backfield, playing 40% of snaps but managing only 23 yards on 6 carries. While he secured a goal-line touch, his lack of target involvement makes him less desirable than Bashal Tootin.

Watson is a buy/hold. He is expected to be a WR1 this season if he stays healthy. Ken Walker is highly confident in his talent and advises against playing scared regarding his injury history.

Hubbard is a prime sell-high candidate. While he saw usage in Week 1, Jonathan Brooks is expected to eat into his work share as the season progresses. The Week 1 split was influenced by a high-scoring game script, and Brooks' explosive play on a wheel route suggests he will eventually command more touches.

Loveland is a priority target and a 'buy-low' model favorite. He is ranked ahead of other tight end options like Kincaid and is considered a must-start in Week 2.

Loveland is a clear buy-low target after a quiet Week 1. He led the team in routes run and saw a red zone target despite the Bears' high-scoring game. He can likely be acquired by moving bench wide receivers, as his market value may have dipped slightly due to the lack of box-score production.

Goedert is a strong start when AJ Brown is out, but he is a potential sit candidate depending on the status of other flex options like Rhamondre Stevenson.

Despite concerns regarding age and lack of red zone usage in Week 1, Adams is a buy-low target. The potential for the Raiders' defense to struggle without Myles Garrett could force the team to throw more, increasing his value.

Montgomery is a hold. He provides steady, locked-in production that is valuable to keep on a roster.

Devon Achane is considered a fair trade piece to move in exchange for a receiver like Drake London. Given the scarcity of the running back position, managers should be cautious, but he represents the appropriate tier of value to target for a buy-low on London.

Achane is a sell candidate following Week 1; his efficiency was inflated by a single 18-yard draw play in garbage time. Excluding that play, he managed only 28 yards on 8 carries (3.5 YPC). He lacks a significant red zone role, and with other running backs drafted in his range outperforming him, he is no longer the target he was during draft season.

Ken Walker suggests buying low on Drake London, noting that his price will likely continue to drop with another Cooper Rush start, but managers should remain optimistic as the team gets closer to starting Michael Penix Jr.

Drake London is a strong buy-low candidate despite a poor Week 1 performance. He remains the clear-cut alpha receiver for the Falcons, maintaining a 98.2% snap share and 21% target share. His upside is tied to the eventual return of Michael Penix Jr., with whom he has historically produced high-end fantasy numbers.

Evan Engram was a bright spot on an otherwise struggling offense in Week 1, contributing to a successful early touchdown drive. However, the team's inability to sustain production afterward limits his immediate outlook.

Wilson is a buy. He was the clear-cut target leader for the Jets in Week 1 and is projected for 150 targets on the season. He provides a steady floor and is currently undervalued at roughly 80% of his true value.

Coker is dealing with an ankle injury that has him in a boot, though it is described as precautionary. Despite the injury, he remains a strong option who out-produced Tetairoa McMillan in Week 1.

Williams is a strong buy-low candidate after a 'stinker' in Week 1. He is expected to explode in the upcoming game against the Bills, and managers are encouraged not to lose faith.

Jalen Waddle had a disappointing Week 1 performance for the Broncos, recording only three targets and a drop. The offense appeared out of sync, and Waddle's lack of involvement was notable given the high draft capital the team invested to acquire him.

Love is a buy. Despite a modest Week 1 stat line, he looked explosive and slippery on the field. Historically, players drafted in his range tend to emerge as fantasy RB1s by the second half of the season. His price remains in check due to Tyler Allgeier's involvement, making him an ideal target.

Jonah Coleman, who was hyped as a late-round sleeper during the offseason, saw his role diminish as the team stopped deploying him. This lack of usage makes him a disappointment for fantasy managers who trusted the preseason buzz.

Brooks remains a high-upside target despite a limited Week 1 role. He showed explosiveness on a wheel route, and his involvement is expected to increase as he gets further removed from his injury. He is a preferred stash over Hubbard for the remainder of the season.

Herbert is a buy-low quarterback candidate. Despite some nervousness, his usage in Mike McDaniel's offense, specifically the heavy use of play-action, suggests a high ceiling for the remainder of the season.

Kenneth Walker served as the engine of the Chiefs' offense in Week 1, receiving heavy usage on the first drive and throughout the game, including runs up the middle and to the outside. This usage represents a significant shift from the traditional pass-heavy Andy Reid/Patrick Mahomes scheme, and the team is clearly prioritizing him as a focal point following his major free-agent signing.

Pitts is a sell candidate in shallower leagues. He played only 63% of snaps and was used primarily as a decoy, drawing only two targets despite running routes on 80% of dropbacks. With Drake London healthy, Pitts has consistently struggled to command volume, and he is now ranked as a low-end TE1/TE2.

Lloyd is not currently startable due to a lack of consistent snap share and the Packers' offensive line struggles. The team does not yet show full trust in him despite his big-play ability.

Michael Penix Jr. is viewed as the key to unlocking the Falcons' passing game. Historical data shows that Drake London produced nearly 20 fantasy points per game with Penix, making his eventual return to the starting lineup a major positive catalyst for the offense.

Ken Walker remains committed to O'Marrion Hampton despite a poor Week 1 performance, citing the Chargers' offensive potential and a favorable upcoming schedule against the Raiders and Bills as reasons to pay mid-second round value to acquire him.

Patrick Mahomes looked encouragingly healthy in Week 1, showing no signs of being hindered by his previous ACL injury. While the passing game still needs development due to the current receiver corps, his rushing touchdown and overall mobility provide a positive outlook for the rest of the season.

Stevenson should continue to be played as long as Trayvon Henderson is inactive. He is a high-volume play at home against the Steelers.

Odunze is a recommended buy-low target coming off a poor Week 1 performance, largely due to his role within the Bears' offense.

McLaurin is a buy-low candidate after a predictable struggle against the Eagles in Week 1. He is expected to bounce back in his upcoming matchup against Dallas.

While still considered the alpha receiver over Jalen Coker rest-of-season, the gap between the two has narrowed significantly following Week 1 production, making him a potential sell candidate if managers are concerned about his recent output.

Etienne is a sell candidate based on current market value and his role within the offense.

Travis Kelce remains a key part of the Chiefs' offense, recording one of the longest catches of his career (38 yards) in Week 1. His performance benefited from the Broncos' inability to tackle, highlighting his continued utility despite his veteran status.

Kelce is a sell candidate. His Week 1 performance relied on a single long yards-after-catch play, which likely represents his highest yardage output of the season. Given his age and the lack of consistent target volume, he is a player to move if possible.

Zay Flowers looked unstoppable in the Ravens' offense during Week 1 when healthy. Despite dealing with hamstring tightness, he is viewed as a 'supernova' type of play when attached to Lamar Jackson, making him a preferred hold or target over other options.
