Fantasy Football Trader's Alley Week 5: Players to Buy, Hold, and Sell
Trading can be quite a frustrating task in fantasy football. It is seemingly impossible to put together an offer that makes both sides happy, and communicating with other league members can also be difficult. In the Trader’s Alley, I’m going to try and guide you through making trades in your league this season. Using 4for4’s powerful trade evaluator tool, I’ll highlight players to buy, sell, and hold each week, and also create some hypothetical trades based on what the tool tells us.
This article will assume the following starting roster settings: 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 FLEX. Feel free to change the configurations to fit your league in the trade evaluator yourself.
It feels like the NFL season is flying by—it’s already October, and trade season is officially upon us. We now have enough information to make concrete takeaways about how players have performed thus far, and there should be clear delineations between the good and bad teams in your fantasy leagues. We also have a solid sense about which teams in the NFL are legit or not, meaning matchups become more important in trade talks. For example, if I was an 0-4 or 1-3 team, I’d be looking to add someone playing against worse defenses in the next few weeks to increase the odds of a much-needed win. Keeping that in mind, let’s get into some of the top buy, sell, and hold options after a month of game action in the NFL.
