The Best Week 7 Fantasy Football Trades to Make RIGHT NOW: Buy or Sell?

The source identifies AJ Brown as a 'buy-low' candidate, noting that despite a poor first game back from injury (10 targets, 3 catches, 4 drops), he maintained a 43% first-read target share. The source suggests he can be acquired at a round-seven discount despite his round-two/three talent profile.

The source expresses concern regarding A.J. Brown's recent performance, citing his injury history, poor GPS numbers, and a recent game where he had 10 targets but only three catches with four drops. The source notes he looked stiff and labored, suggesting a potential downside case despite his high-value role in other trade contexts.

The source identifies Aaron Jones as a sell candidate because Jordan Mason is expected to return and force a committee, which would make Jones worthless to a fantasy roster despite his recent 17 fantasy points per game average.

The source considers Aaron Rodgers to be 'worthless' in a trade context, suggesting that a two-for-one trade involving him is effectively a one-for-one deal.

The source lists Alvin Kamara as a sell candidate due to his inefficient play and the eventual return of Travis Etienne, which threatens his current workload.

Amon-Ra St. Brown is mentioned as part of a trade package (alongside Jared Goff) offered for Puka Nacua, which the source views as a massive win for the side receiving Nacua. In a direct trade comparison, the source prefers St. Brown over Zay Flowers.

The source identifies Brian Robinson as a winning trade target in a hypothetical swap.

The source expresses skepticism regarding Bryce Young's recent performance, suggesting he will eventually regress and turn back into a pumpkin.

The source evaluates a trade package of DK Metcalf and Bucky Irving for Zay Flowers as 'not great,' implying it does not provide enough value to acquire Flowers.

C.J. Stroud is playing the best football of his career, which the source cites as a primary signal to buy into the Houston Texans' passing offense.

The source prefers CeeDee Lamb over Zay Flowers in a trade scenario, though they acknowledge Flowers could be a good fit for some rosters.

The source values Zay Flowers higher than Chris Olave in a trade comparison.

The source values Zay Flowers higher than Christian Watson in a trade comparison.

Dallas Goedert is a buy-low target due to his recent injury absence and uncertainty surrounding Jalen Hurts. In eight full games without A.J. Brown since 2024, he averaged 2.46 yards per route run and 15 fantasy points per game. He is currently priced as a fringe tight end one, which is far below his actual production potential.

The source dismisses Dameon Pierce as a fantasy asset, noting that he is 'nothing' and that his role will be further impacted when Saquon Barkley returns.

Derrick Henry is mentioned as a trade piece in packages for Puka Nacua. The source characterizes trades involving Henry and Wan'Dale Robinson for Nacua as lopsided and bordering on collusion, indicating that the side receiving Nacua is the clear winner.

DeVonta Smith is a buy-low candidate because his owner may be desperate due to his recent missed time and Jalen Hurts' indefinite absence. Despite the Eagles' struggles, Smith remains a top-five player in target share and first-read target share, and the team's poor defense and ineffective run game should force them to pass more. The source prefers Smith over Luther Burden, Michael Wilson, and Jordan Mason in trade scenarios.

The source evaluates a trade package of DK Metcalf and Bucky Irving for Zay Flowers as 'not great.' Metcalf is seeing high volume with a 13th-ranked first-read target share and 15th-ranked air yards per game, but his fantasy production is lagging at 33rd. The source notes his average depth of route run is at a career low, and he has transitioned into a possession receiver role in Pittsburgh that he is not effectively executing, lacking his former explosive playmaking ability.

The source strongly prefers D.K. Metcalf in trade discussions, stating they would take him by a landslide over other options.

The source recommends selling Garrett Wilson, citing a diminishing target share due to competition from Elijah Moore and Amari Cooper. Wilson has been outscored by another pass catcher on his team in five of the first six weeks, and the source questions if Geno Smith can sustain production for all of the team's receiving options.

The source implies that acquiring J.K. Dobbins in a trade is a significant win, jokingly referring to the lopsided nature of the deal as collusion.

Jameson Williams is a polarizing buy-low candidate; he ranks as the WR11 by XFP per game, indicating high volume, yet his efficiency is poor, averaging fewer yards per game than Caleb Douglas and Jaylen Knowles. He ranks 5th in catchable air yards per game but 168th in uncatchable air yards, suggesting his production is heavily tied to Jared Goff's accuracy and game script volatility.

Jared Goff is viewed as a replaceable quarterback who is not a fantasy difference-maker, with the source suggesting he be used as trade bait. However, he receives a notable projection boost for the remainder of the season, as 11 of his next 12 games are played indoors, which the source estimates adds approximately one point per game to his fantasy output.

The source prefers Jaxon Smith-Njigba over Zay Flowers in a direct trade comparison.

The source currently prefers Zay Flowers over Jaylen Waddle in a trade comparison, though they admit the take could be wrong.

Jaylen Warren is viewed as a sell candidate because coaching staffs consistently limit his workload, capping his role as a change-of-pace back rather than a bell cow. The source notes that while he may deserve 65% of the load, he is unlikely to ever reach bell-cow status.

The source prefers trading for DeVonta Smith over holding Jordan Mason, despite Mason's recent usage.

The source recommends selling Josh Allen, noting a decline in production since his Week 3 knee injury; he is averaging 22.5 PPG since then compared to 36-41 PPG in the first two weeks. Additionally, he has recorded under five rushing yards in two of his last three games, a rarity in his career, suggesting a more conservative team approach to protect him. He is a 'sell high' candidate for 2-4 teams needing to bolster RB/WR depth.

The source advises moving off Juwan Johnson, noting that the return of Jordan Tyson threatens his snap share, and expresses general skepticism toward low-end tight end ones, citing potential regression.

The source identifies Kenneth Walker as an absolute league winner and a top-tier asset, ranking him as one of the players most likely to be on championship-winning lineups.

The source highlights the risk of Kirk Cousins being benched in favor of Fernando Mendoza, which would render him replaceable by waiver wire options.

Kyle Monangai is used as a statistical benchmark to highlight Jaylen Warren's disappointing expected fantasy points (XFP) ranking.

Lamar Jackson is identified as the key driver for Zay Flowers' elite production, with the source noting that Flowers' yards per route run metrics are significantly higher when playing with Jackson compared to other quarterbacks.

The source views Luther Burden as a hold despite concerns over his 38% snap share and competition from Rome Odunze and Kalif Raymond, noting he is the team's most efficient receiver and target leader. The source would trade him away in exchange for DeVonta Smith.

The source currently prefers Zay Flowers over Malik Nabers in a trade comparison, though they admit the take could be wrong.

The source views MarShawn Lloyd as a winning asset to acquire in a trade scenario.

Matthew Stafford's health is a primary concern for fantasy managers, creating a downside risk for the fantasy outlook of his pass catchers, specifically Puka Nacua.

The source prefers DeVonta Smith over Michael Wilson in a trade scenario, indicating Wilson is a sell or a lower-tier asset compared to the Eagles' receiver.

The source views Mike Evans as the primary asset in a trade package involving Aaron Rodgers for Zay Flowers, dismissing Rodgers' value entirely. Additionally, the source expresses concern regarding Mike Evans' health, specifically citing recurring Achilles soreness, which makes him a risky asset to hold or trade for compared to other options.

The source identifies Mike Gesicki as a sell candidate, projecting that his snap share will drop back to 30% once the team's wide receivers return to health.

Nico Collins is considered a hold or buy by the source. Despite recent target share concerns (under 18% over the last two weeks), he is viewed as a top-six receiver in the league playing with a high-performing C.J. Stroud.

Parker Washington is a recommended buy, ranking 9th in fantasy points per route and 12th in XFP per route run. While he is currently WR18 in fantasy points per game, the source expects positive regression in play volume as the Jaguars move away from bottom-three league status in dropbacks per game. Travis Hunter's recent usage in a specific offensive package is noted, but the source is not yet concerned about him threatening Washington's role.

The source identifies Puka Nacua as a 'power law' player and a prime buy-low target, arguing his potential to be worth exponentially more than multiple high-end assets combined. Despite concerns regarding his pre-sports hernia and the Rams' team performance, his role in the Stafford-McVay offense provides massive upside; historical data shows he averaged 12 targets and 29.4 fantasy points per game when Davante Adams was out. The source notes that trades are occurring in various league formats and warns against lopsided trades that favor the Nacua side, such as trading him for Derrick Henry and Wan'Dale Robinson or Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown, which the source characterizes as collusion.

The source debates Rico Dowdle's role, with one speaker arguing Dowdle is a better player than Jaylen Warren, while the other emphasizes Warren's superior efficiency metrics.

The source views RJ Harvey as a sell candidate, noting that his current status as the team's leading target-share receiver is unsustainable and likely to decline.

Tank Bigsby is mentioned as part of a trade package (alongside Jaylen Warren) offered for Puka Nacua, which the source views as a massive win for the side receiving Nacua.

Travis Hunter is noted for having a specific offensive package where he caught three passes for a touchdown, though the source is not yet worried about him threatening Parker Washington's role unless the usage continues.

The source advises selling Travis Kelce, noting he is currently the TE7 in PPG despite being only the TE15 in targets per game, indicating he is massively outproducing his volume. The source also cites his age and the typical late-season decline in efficiency and health for veteran tight ends.

The source identifies Trey Tucker as a sell-high candidate, noting his current WR18 ranking is inflated by two big games and that he is effectively the team's WR3 behind Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer.

Tyler Huntley's poor quarterback play is cited as a primary reason for the suppressed fantasy production of his receivers, specifically Zay Flowers, early in the season.

Tyreek Hill is used as the historical benchmark for yards per route run, having set the record at 4.03 in 2023.

Wan'Dale Robinson is mentioned as a trade piece in packages for Puka Nacua. The source characterizes trades involving Robinson and Derrick Henry for Nacua as lopsided and bordering on collusion, indicating that the side receiving Nacua is the clear winner.

The source categorizes Zay Flowers as a 'power law' player with league-winning, top-five wide receiver potential. His early-season fantasy production was suppressed by injuries, low snap share, and poor quarterback play from Tyler Huntley, but he produced at a 200-yard-per-game pace in limited healthy snaps. Flowers shows extreme efficiency with Lamar Jackson, averaging over eight yards per route run (on 63 routes), though the source expects some regression. In trade comparisons, the source prefers Flowers over Christian Watson and Chris Olave, but favors Jaxon Smith-Njigba, CeeDee Lamb, and Amon-Ra St. Brown.
