7 Players I'm Selling High on in Fantasy Football

Chris Lave recommends selling Aaron Jones, arguing that his athleticism is capped at his current age and he lacks a high ceiling. Lave notes that Jones failed to record a 20-point fantasy game in 2025 and projects him as a low-end RB2 rest-of-season, despite the temporary backfield opportunity created by Jordan Mason's injury.

Alvin Kamara's absence was the primary reason the speaker projected Travis Etienne to see every touch in the backfield, a projection that was challenged by Kendre Miller's involvement.

Breece Hall is recommended as a high-upside pivot target for managers looking to move off D'Andre Swift, with the expectation that he will command a larger backfield share as the season progresses.

Chris Lave identifies Bucky Irving as a preferred trade target when pivoting away from Travis Etienne, citing a more promising role for Irving.

Chris Lave suggests CeeDee Lamb as a primary trade target to pivot to from Chris Olave, potentially involving a small additional piece in the deal.

Chris Olave is a sell-high candidate; his Week 1 performance of 182 yards on 13 targets was inflated by an overtime game and 56 team pass attempts. Chris Lave notes his market share was not as elite as raw totals suggest and warns of long-term risks, including a likely regression in team passing volume, potential target competition from Jordan Tyson in the second half of the season, and recurring injury concerns. Lave suggests pivoting to Malik Nabers or CeeDee Lamb (plus a small piece).

Chris Lave would not trade Rashee Rice for Christian Watson; in fact, Lave attempted to trade Watson away to capitalize on league-mate panic.

Chris Lave identifies Chuba Hubbard as a preferred trade target when looking to pivot away from Aaron Jones.

Chris Lave recommends selling D'Andre Swift despite his 32-point Week 1 performance, as the Chicago Bears' backfield appears to be a committee. Khalil Herbert saw significant usage with 10 carries and 2 targets compared to Swift's 18 carries and 1 target.

Chris Lave explicitly advises against trading for DeVonta Smith, stating he would not make a pivot from Rashee Rice to Smith.

Chris Lave suggests pivoting from Rashee Rice to George Pickens, expressing confidence in Pickens' future role despite a poor Week 1 performance.

Chris Lave prefers the rookie Jadarian Price over Rhamondre Stevenson, noting that Price is in a good offense and is expected to expand his role in the future.

Chris Lave identifies Jahmyr Gibbs as a preferred target to pivot to when selling D'Andre Swift, citing his potential to take a larger share of the backfield later in the season. Additionally, player prop markets view Gibbs as a 50/50 coin flip to score 24 or more fantasy points.

Chris Lave suggests targeting Jameson Williams as a trade pivot from Rome Odunze. Additionally, Lave notes that player prop markets currently assign Williams a 53% probability of scoring 12 or more fantasy points.

Chris Lave suggests targeting Jeremiah Love as a trade pivot from Travis Etienne, noting that Love is expected to expand his role as the season progresses.

Jordan Tyson is expected to emerge in the second half of the season as a wide receiver capable of competing with Chris Olave for targets in the Saints' offense, according to Chris Lave.

Chris Lave notes that Khalif Raymond is drawing targets in the Chicago Bears offense, which Lave views as a negative indicator for the concentration of targets among the team's primary pass catchers. Lave explicitly states he does not believe Raymond is a high-quality player.

Kendre Miller significantly impacted Travis Etienne's projected workload by recording 9 carries and stealing a rushing touchdown in week one, indicating he is a threat to Etienne's goal-line and early-down usage.

Khalil Herbert maintained a significant role in the Bears' offense in week one, recording 10 carries and 2 targets, which challenges the expectation of a bell-cow role for D'Andre Swift.

Malik Nabers is a preferred trade target to pivot to from Chris Olave, as Chris Lave expects Nabers' outlook to improve as the season progresses.

Chris Lave suggests targeting Quinnshon Judkins as a trade pivot from Rhamondre Stevenson. With Dylan Sampson on IR, Lave expects Judkins to see increased usage, particularly as a receiver.

Chris Lave lists Quinshon Judkins as a potential trade target to acquire in exchange for Aaron Jones.

Rashee Rice is a sell-high candidate following a Week 1 performance where his 10 fantasy points were entirely dependent on a single touchdown. Chris Lave notes the underlying volume was poor, with only two targets for 19 yards, and expresses concern that his previous role as a manufactured-target receiver is no longer sustainable, potentially being funneled to Kenneth Walker instead.

Chris Lave recommends selling Rhamondre Stevenson, arguing that his week one volume was inflated by the absence of Trevon Henderson. Lave is concerned that if Henderson returns, Stevenson will shift from a must-start to an uninspiring committee back, potentially struggling to maintain top-20 value.

Chris Lave ranks Rome Odunze as the WR30 and 65th overall, viewing him as a mid-range WR3. Lave is concerned by the lack of target concentration in the Bears' offense, noting that too many secondary players are drawing targets, which limits Odunze's ceiling. Lave recommends pivoting off Odunze by packaging him with another player to acquire Jameson Williams.

Chris Lave expresses concern over Travis Etienne's usage, noting he is not an 80% snap-share player and cannot be projected for 20+ opportunities per game. Despite being the lead back, Lave suggests selling Etienne and pivoting to players with more promising roles like Bucky Irving or Jeremiah Love, noting that Kendre Miller stole a rushing touchdown and matched Etienne's 9 carries in Week 1.
