BUY: Adrian Peterson, RB, Cardinals:
After just one stellar week in Arizona, Peterson is easily a buy. He will get starting snaps for at least the next 5 weeks until David Johnson comes back. Since he's only played one week, there is a chance he is on your league waiver wire but he also may not be too hard to trade for. If you are needing a high quality RB2/FLEX/RB1 make sure to buy Peterson while you still can for little value.
SELL: Jerick McKinnon, RB, Vikings:
I know that McKinnon has been very good these last few weeks, but he isn't an elite RB or anything and so I personally don't expect it to last and I think you should sell him before he doesn't play well. Since he's had 2 good weeks the last 2 weeks, he is at tip-top value and you should trade him now for someone really good before his value goes down.
BUY: Chris Hogan, WR, Patriots:
Hogan has been really good and really productive in fantasy this year but coming off his first bad week in a few weeks, Hogan's value is actually pretty low right now. If you are in need of a high quality WR2/FLEX Hogan is a great buy. You may be able to get him for a bench player or possibly a low end starter. Hogan was bad last week but I expect him to get back on track with his good fantasy season and he is a buy.
BUY: Alvin Kamara, RB, Saints:
Kamara is becoming a great play in fantasy if you want 8-10 points every week. He may be still on your waiver wire and if he is pick him up right away, he is way to good to be on the waiver wire. If not, he's probably on the bench on someones team in your league. Since he isn't totally the Saints starting RB, people in your league may not really know him and be willing to give him up for not much. Kamara averages around 8-10 points a game, thats really nice for a flex or something. BUY into Kamara right away.
SELL: Amari Cooper, WR, Raiders:
Cooper has been up and down this year, mostly down but coming off a great Thursday night football performance, Cooper's value has risen a lot. While Cooper had a really good game, I don't expect it to last but what I expect is for someone in your league to barely check his stats and just see the name Amari Cooper and think "oh, I know him, he's a great receiver" and they will be intrigued to accept your trade for a pretty good player because they know Cooper. Cooper could be sold pretty high and I think you should trade him asap.
BUY: Tyreek Hill, WR, Chiefs:
Hill has had a really funny pattern this year that seems to keep repeating. Thus far, Hill has a great 10+ point performance, then has a down week, then has a 10+ point week, then down week. It has happened these first 7 games. Even though if the pattern continues, Hill will be off next week, patterns are rare like that to last in fantasy football and Hill has been a really consistently good receiver this year. Someone may be selling him for low and you should buy into him.
SELL: Jordy Nelson, WR, Packers:
With star QB Aaron Rodgers out for the season with a broken collarbone, Nelson is at risk. He has no chemistry with QB Brett Hundley and so who knows what he will do the rest of the young season. Nelson has been pretty good up until this point and lots of people in your league probably know that Nelson is an elite receiver but might not realize that with Rodgers out, Nelson will probably be worse. You can probably sell him for someone really good and it could be a huge steal of a trade for you.
BUY: Russell Wilson, QB, Seahawks:
Wilson is coming off a bad fantasy week but before that Wilson was pretty consistently good and so you should trade for Wilson if you need a QB. Wilson has looked insanely good this season. He has been scrambling super well and delivering beautiful passes. Wilson is going to keep heating up as he always does as we really get into the season. Buy Wilson while he is easy to get.
SELL: Rob Gronkowski, TE, Patriots:
I know Gronk is coming off a really good week but you need to sell him. Gronk is a fantasy big name coming off a 20 point week which means that everyone really wants him in your league. What you should do is sell him high for a bigger position of need because even though he is good, he has a horrible injury history and keeps being put out for little bits of time at a time. Gronk will be good when he is in but since he is hurt so much you can just sell him high for a position of need.
BUY: Cameron Brate, TE, Buccaneers:
The Bucs tight end is not someone we may all know which makes him a better buy but Brate has been playing really well for a tight end these last few weeks. He has 4 TDs already this season and they've all come from the last 4 games, 1 TD in all of them. Brate is averaging about 10 fantasy points a game which insanely good for a tight end. There is a small chance that Brate is still on your league waiver wire but if he isn't, it might not be too hard to get him despite his recent success because no one really knows who he is.
RISKY BUY: Brett Hundley, QB, Packers:
I'm going to have one risky buy in this post and that is the new Packer starting QB Brett Hundley. When Aaron Rodgers went down with an injury, Hundley is now the new starter. I think you should only buy into him if you have an open roster spot because who knows how he will do. He looks pretty decent so he could be pretty good with the Packers good offense but he also could be a complete bust at QB. I thought it was worth just mentioning Hundley.
Thanks for reading, I hope this helps your fantasy team.
