Trade Hub – Week 6
Welcome back! It is Monday so it is time to talk trades in 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. I hope your season is going well, but even if is not, there is a lot of season to go.
Week 5 will conclude tonight with a MNF matchup between the 2-2 Chiefs and the 3-1 Jaguars. The game is in Jacksonville, but the Chiefs are favored by 3.5 with a point total over/under of 45.5. Keep in mind that Xavier Worthy is still questionable as I write this. My prediction for this game is a Chiefs win by a score of 24-17.
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 6 begins. Like I always say, one trade could be the difference in winning or losing your fantasy football league.
PLAYERS TO BUY
Jordan Mason – Minnesota Vikings
Jordan Mason has 13+ carries, 50+ rushing yards, and 3 receptions in each of his last 2 games. He has 3 rushing TDs in his last 3 games and had a 116 rushing yard performance in week 3. The thing is that the Vikings are about to be on their BYE week and following that, Aaron Jones is expected to be off the IR and back to splitting carries with Mason. This would be a suitable time to buy him low with those reasons as he was outperforming Jones and you could get Mason at a hefty discount.
Jakobi Meyers – Las Vegas Raiders
Jakobi Meyers has just 4 receptions in each of his last 2 games and only 64 total receiving yards in them. The rumors are that Meyers is still trade bait and there could be a trade of him within the season. That could really boost him in fantasy depending on how it all goes down. But he has been average lately and you should buy low as you can.
PLAYERS TO SELL
Kendrick Bourne – San Francisco 49ers
Bourne had a hell of a game on Thursday night catching 10 of his 11 targets and racking up 142 receiving yards. With that kind of performance, it would equate to an ideal time to sell him as high as you can. 49ers pass catchers cannot stay hurt forever and he might not get that kind of high-volume performances in the near future.
Rachaad White – Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Rachaad White filled in at RB1 in the absence of Bucky Irving and took full advantage. He scored 2 rushing TDs, ran for 41 yards, and caught 4 passes for 30 receiving yards. The severity of Bucky’s injury is still yet to be determined, but even if he were to miss another game or 2 it would most likely not be for long and the Bucs have the 49ers and the Lions next who have played opposing RBs well. Sell high.
