No one wants a stagnant roster. It's time to make some moves.

Let’s get into some buyin’, sellin’, and holdin’. 

BUY

WR Marvin Harrison Jr., Arizona Cardinals

Now that Kyler Murray's gotten his fill of Black Ops 6 (Kidding. Kind of…), it seems like he's fully recharged and ready to start cooking again! 

Every few weeks Murray takes a dip in production, but he soars high enough for me to forgive him. And of the 12 TDs Murray has thrown so far this season, HALF of those have gone to Marvin Harrison Jr. More Murray to Marvin, please!

The biggest factor here is that we have an opportunity to buy-in on a talented rookie who has two factors contributing to a possible "buy low" resurgence:

  1. The Cardinals are on Bye in Week 11. With trade deadlines approaching, as well as the panic induced by the looming fantasy playoffs, fantasy managers are more open to trading away bye week players who have to sit their bench during this crucial part of their season. If you can hold the bag for a week, you might get a discount. 
  2. The matchups are getting better. Harrison has faced some tough defenses who are performing extremely well against WRs. But the future is bright after the bye. 

Opponent & Rank vs. WRs

  • Week 7: LAC - 6th 🤢
  • Week 8: MIA - 5th 🤢
  • Week 9: CHI - 2nd 🤢
  • Week 10: NYJ - 4th 🤢
  • Week 11: BYE
  • Week 12: SEA - 18th 😍
  • Week 13: MIN - 28th 😍
  • Week 14: SEA - 18th 😍
  • Week 15: NE - 19th 😍

The coming weeks should lead to more success for the Cardinals. And with Harrison's 23% target share and 42% air yards share, it's time to buy low. 

SELL

This week we're selling:

👋 Big Names? Big Goodbyes!

Don't hate the player, hate the player's fantasy future. It's time to cash out on some guys that still hold Big Name value, before it's too late!

Disclaimer: This does not mean these are not good NFL players or elite at their position. But for fantasy purposes… it's time to sell. 

QB Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs

Do I think Mahomes is going to get another Super Bowl ring? Yea, probably. He's the type of NFL QB that will get the job done. 

But for fantasy purposes, he's not producing championship-level points. 

  • Week 1: QB 13
  • Week 2: QB 14
  • Week 3: QB 15
  • Week 4: QB 17
  • Week 5: QB 20
  • Week 6: BYE
  • Week 7: QB 19
  • Week 8: QB 15
  • Week 9: QB 4
  • Week 10: QB 11

If you're looking to win your league, you need top-notch QB play. And, no, you don't have to pay up for Lamar Jackson to get it. I mean, hell. Even Russell Wilson has had two top-10 performances, and he has only played three full games this year…

WR CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys

With Jerry Jones making sub-par trades, trying to constantly feed an aging RB, and blaming everyone but himself… it's hard to trust the Cowboys this season. 

Since losing Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb's involvement remains elite, but any way you crunch the numbers, the results are the same: His high-powered, big-ceiling games are just not guaranteed anymore. And if Lamb's WR50-esq results continue, you'll kick yourself for holding the bag.

When negotiating, be sure to remind your league mates that the Cowboys have some easy matchups on the horizon. So don't sell for pennies on the dollar.

WR Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins

Threats to Tyreek Hill's ceiling:

  1. His fantasy production plummets without Tua Tagovailoa. And Tua Tagovailoa is not taking care of Tua Tagovailoa. 
  2. De'Von Achane and Jonnu Smith have started to steal targets since Week 7. 
  3. Health issues? Hill is reportedly playing with a torn ligament in his wrist and he got a little banged up on this TD celebration in Week 10 (though it's likely minor). 
  4. He lied to us. And I don't appreciate that. So yea, I'm bitter.

HOLD

Sometimes we need to just take a second to think. Don't overreact.

This week, we're holding:

Caleb Williams: One Last Hurrah?

Check my math here, but I don't think there's a single urologist who has seen more sacks than Caleb Williams did in Week 10. 

While it's not the kind of stat any QB would want, Williams is leading the league in sacks taken, with 38 total through the first 10 weeks of the season. 

Whether it's o-line issues, coaching issues, QB woes, or a terribly depressing combination of the three, the Bears are giving less "grizzly" and more "teddy" vibes these days.

But you can't blame them for losing, can you? It's hard for Chicago to do much of anything when their QB is being tackled nine times in a single game. Of course they aren't scoring! In fact, it's been OVER A MONTH since anyone on the team has caught a TD pass in the continental US. Oof.

Now that Chicago has fired its OC, Shane Waldron, Caleb Williams gets one more crack at it before we all start throwing tomatoes. Let's hope the Bears can find a way to get their 1.01 some protection.

WR Malik Nabers, New York Giants

F*ck, this one hurts. 

But with rumors of a QB change swirling in New York, I have to see this one through. The "what ifs" are eating me alive and I just need to believe that talent will succeed in the end. 

Plus, we can't ignore Nabers' usage and matchup-friendly schedule. We just need Daniel Jones out of the way, right? Right?!

At least I have a week of reprieve with the Giants on bye in Week 11. HOLDDDD!
