Happy November and happy Monday. Welcome back to my weekly Trade Hub article. Mike here ready as always to help you with trade suggestions that can help your chances of winning your fantasy league. Follow me on Twitter (@FantasyHubbard) for all things fantasy football.
Tonight’s Monday Night Football is between the 4-4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the 7-0 Kansas City Chiefs. The game is in KC with the Chiefs favored by 9. The total points over/under is currently 45.5. My prediction for this game is a Chiefs win by a score of 27-19. I like Kareem Hunt in this game to go off.
Always make sure you are aware if or when your league has a trade deadline. Try to sell and/or buy players with strategy and the use of your persuasion and negotiation skills. Here are some players to buy and sell before week 10 begins. Like I always say, one trade could be the difference in winning or losing your fantasy football league.
PLAYERS TO BUY
Jordan Love – Green Bay Packers
Jordan Love has back to back dud performances and is heading into a BYE week. With his last 2 games having no TDs and 2 INTs it is the perfect time to buy him lower than you could have imagined. Love could use the BYE week to get healthy and finish the season strong. His schedule is tough after the BYE but Love has 2+ TD in all of his first 5 games he played and that includes 2 games with 4 passing TDs. Love could really help your fantasy team moving forward and it might not cost what you think.
Rico Dowdle – Dallas Cowboys
Dowdle had a great day in fantasy despite losing another game with Dallas. He rushed 12 times for 75 rushing yards and caught 5 of his 6 targets for 32 receiving yards and a receiving TD. Dowdle is a great buy low option because of his role on his team and his team in general. The Cowboys are currently sinking and Dowdle is their RB. Ezekiel Elliot has seen better days and is not producing, and they added Dalvin Cook who might be washed at this point in his career. No matter the game flow Dowdle should be in line for plenty of action in each game if he is healthy.
PLAYERS TO SELL
Raheem Mostert – Miami Dolphins
Mostert carried the ball 10 times for 56 rushing yards, caught both of his targets for 32 receiving yards but did lose a fumble. De’Von Achane keeps getting more volume while Mostert only played 14 snaps. He was used in 12 of those 14 snaps but I do not think that will be the case every week. I would try selling Mostert before it is too late, and you could end up stuck with him or consider eventually dropping him. Mostert’s fantasy playoff schedule is brutal too as the Dolphins play their last 4 games of the season against top 10 defenses against opposing RBs.
Ray Davis – Buffalo Bills
Ray Davis had some quality stats this past weekend rushing 4 times for 20 yards and catching both of his targets for a huge 70 receiving yards and a receiving TD. Yes, that all sounds great, but 4 carries and 2 targets is not the volume you hope for. He made best of his opportunities which is why it is the perfect time to sell him high, especially with James Cook healthy. 2 of the next 3 games for Buffalo are against stingy run defenses in the Chiefs and the 49ers.
