Football
After two weeks, your fantasy football team is likely showing its strengths and weaknesses. Now is the time to capitalize on the market by making some calculated trades. Some star players have started slow, while others have overperformed based on unsustainable usage. Here are some key players you should target or look to move this week.
Football Trade Targets to Buy: Courtland Sutton, Denver Broncos
Courtland Sutton was a sleeper before the season, and his dismal Week 2 production has opened a second buy-low window. Sutton was the WR10 in PPR points per game from Week 8 onward last season, and is still the alpha receiver on the Denver Broncos.
The veteran caught one of his four targets in Week 2, but was denied several big plays by defensive pass interference and holding penalties. Troy Franklin had what felt like a breakout performance against the Indianapolis Colts, which should help with any buy-low attempts.

Sutton caught six of nine targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 (tied – WR12 overall). His production for the rest of the year should look far more similar to that than his outlier Week 2 numbers.
Football Travis Hunter, Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ passing attack has left much to be desired after two weeks, with Trevor Lawrence unable to get the best out of his receivers thus far. Frustrations boiled over in Week 2 when head coach Liam Coen visibly lost his temper with his quarterback, with Lawrence waving away the criticism.
While the relationship between the pair is something to monitor, Coen is a highly respected offensive mind and should be trusted to get his offense on track. Fantasy managers are likely unwilling to sell low on Brian Thomas Jr. after only two weeks (though, by all means, try), but rookie Travis Hunter should be available.
There were doubts about Hunter’s usage before the season, and Coen’s suggestion that his defensive snaps will increase throughout the year will have managers worried. Hunter’s increased defensive responsibilities, though, shouldn’t impact his role as a full-time receiver.
The former Colorado standout is an electric playmaker with great hands and elusiveness after the catch. If he’s available in your league(s), buying low on a first-round rookie receiver after only two weeks is a no-brainer.
Football Trade Targets to Sell: Jaylen Waddle, Miami Dolphins
No matter how much Jaylen Waddle disappoints, there will always be fantasy managers who will buy into the Dolphins receiver. Miami just played a Patriots defense that looks like one of the weakest in the NFL, and Waddle capitalized with a touchdown.
He also caught five of his six targets for 68 yards, and heading into Monday Night Football, he is the WR14 overall on the week. That will likely be enough for someone to offer low-end WR2 value for the Dolphins receiver, with many receivers underperforming through two weeks.
Waddle has flashed in the past, but the Dolphins will have a harder time against better opposition, and there will likely be plenty of disappointing weeks ahead.
Football DeAndre Hopkins, Baltimore Ravens
DeAndre Hopkins has certainly made his mark in Baltimore Ravens colors over the opening weeks of the season. The veteran receiver has contributed 99 receiving yards and two touchdowns through two weeks and is the WR21 on the year, with Week 2 almost over.

That being said, Hopkins’ fantasy production is primarily down to his touchdowns, with the receiver’s impressive numbers coming from only four targets in two weeks. That usage isn’t enough to produce season-long fantasy production, and Hopkins will likely become an inconsistent asset for fantasy managers.
If you can get a safer, more consistent WR3/Flex player for Hopkins this week, you’d have no doubt made a significant return on whatever you paid for him.
