If your season-long fantasy team is struggling: There’s still plenty of time to right the ship and make moves to put yourself in a position to make the playoffs. If you started out hot: Now’s the perfect time to get that one last piece to put you over the top.
Trading is a critical component of optimizing your fantasy football team. Today, we’ll walk through eight pairs of similarly ranked players and nominate one as a buy candidate and another as a player to sell. This ideally serves as inspiration for exact trades you can make, but it’s also more general advice on players we believe are valued too high or too low.
BUY ISIAH PACHECO, SELL DAMEON PIERCE
Pacheco has posted a 76.2% and 69.0% carry share over the past two weeks. His snap shares during that span were 60.0% and 59.1% — the two highest marks of his career. While Jerick McKinnon still plays on passing downs, Pacheco is separating as an early-down workhorse and is a non-zero as a receiver too.
Pierce is similar in that he’s dominating carries, but the Texans’ offensive line — even now that it’s healthy — is still middling, and the Houston offense is nowhere near as high-powered as Kansas City’s. Devin Singletary is the primary back on passing downs, leaving Pierce as a relatively inefficient TD-dependent option.
BUY TYJAE SPEARS, SELL ZACK MOSS
