Trader's Alley: Week 5 Fantasy Football Buy Low, Sell High

Oct 04, 2017

Pros and Cons to Consider Before Closing the Deal

This column is designed to quickly unearth some not so obvious things to help you... buy low and sell high.

Further, we suggest you only make a trade if you receive plenty of value in return and the deal results in an improved roster for your squad. In short, obtain players that will outperform their current perceived value while trading overrated talent. Do that and you'll be on your way to improving your roster. The perfect trade!

Owners considering trades should also consult our Rest-of-Season Rankings and Player Trade Evaluator.

Trade for Matt Ryan

Why trade for him now?

1) Because of last weeks modest effort, may be undervalued now.

2) Schedule gets much easier.

3) Has a nice schedule during FF Playoff weeks 15 and 16.

NOTE: Ryan and the Falcons are on BYE this week. Ryan will be an even better buy next week, after the BYE.

Possible trade bait to land him:

Will Fuller

Kelvin Benjamin

Duke Johnson
