Fantasy Football Trades: 14 Players to BUY & SELL NOW! | Week 5 Trade Strategy

The source is fading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense, stating they do not have good vibes regarding the team's outlook despite the return of Baker Mayfield.

Braelon Allen is used as a benchmark for waiver wire availability and draft capital, noting that he was unavailable in many leagues, which influenced how fantasy managers approached adding other players.

Brock Purdy is considered a buy-high target; he has been sensational this year and remains one of the best fantasy quarterbacks despite a difficult matchup against Denver.

Bryce Young is a buy-high target and a locked-and-loaded QB1 for the rest of the season. He has shown consistency with at least 287 passing yards in four games and two touchdowns in all but one game, benefiting from a high-pass-rate scheme in Carolina. The source also anticipates an increase in his rushing production as defenses adjust to the passing attack, noting his recent success even without Jaylen Coker.

The source advises selling Irving because the Tampa Bay backfield is trending toward a three-man committee. Despite Irving dominating total touches, he lost high-value opportunities to Kenneth Gainwell and Sean Tucker in week four, including a touchdown catch and a rushing score, while Irving himself saw zero targets.

Colston Loveland is a buy-low candidate who earned a season-high nine targets against the Jets; despite a slow start, he is seeing increased red-zone usage and is projected to finish as a TE8. His trajectory is compared to Sam LaPorta's sophomore season, where a slow start was followed by a strong finish.

Dalton Kincaid is a buy-low candidate; his week four performance is dismissed as a blip on the radar. He is expected to see more spike weeks moving forward and should benefit from DJ Moore's injury absence.

The source reiterates a previous recommendation to sell high on Davante Adams, noting that the advice has aged well over the past few weeks.

The source identifies David Montgomery as a 'dying asset' and a 'sell low' candidate, noting he has scored fewer than seven PPR points in each of his last three games despite his team's high-scoring output. The source suggests using him as a throw-in for two-for-one trades to upgrade at running back or wide receiver, noting there is a massive list of running backs they would prefer over him.

The source notes that the current offensive usage for Ali Gordon and Malik Washington is specifically tied to the absence of Devon Achane, which has created a vacuum in the Miami backfield and receiving corps.

DeVonta Smith's return timeline from injury remains unclear, contributing to the overall negative outlook for the Philadelphia Eagles' offense.

George Kittle is a buy-high target, citing his elite 90.9% snap share and three straight games with 17+ PPR points. He maintains an elite connection with Brock Purdy and has a favorable upcoming schedule for top-three tight end production.

Jalen Hurts is a sell-high candidate on reputation due to a lack of rushing production, dwindling offensive weapons, and recent poor finishes (153 yards in week three, 93 yards in week four). The Philadelphia offense is currently struggling with injuries to DeVonta Smith, Saquon Barkley, and Lane Johnson, alongside Tank Bigsby's move to IR, creating a dire situation despite a potentially favorable upcoming schedule.

James Cook is suggested as an obtainable target in a two-for-one trade involving Javonte Williams, as fantasy managers may view the trade as a fair swap due to Williams' recent high-scoring performance.

Javonte Williams is a sell-high candidate following a 30-point performance with three touchdowns and five receptions. He has only surpassed 62 rushing yards once this season; the source suggests packaging him in a two-for-one trade to acquire elite assets like Jonathan Taylor or James Cook.

Jonathan Taylor is highlighted as an elite asset to target in a two-for-one trade package involving Javonte Williams, leveraging Williams' recent spike in production to upgrade the roster.

Keon Coleman is a recommended waiver wire pickup who received many first-read looks against New England and should benefit from DJ Moore's injury.

Malik Washington is a recommended buy candidate due to an elite target share projected at 25-30% weekly, supplemented by manufactured rush attempts. He has demonstrated a reliable floor of 11-12 PPR points, with recent performances of 11.1 and 12 points. While the Miami offense may limit his overall ceiling, he is a valuable asset for bye-week coverage in deep or multi-flex leagues, especially while Devon Achane remains sidelined.

Nico Collins is the source's favorite 'buy high' target. He has an elite 28.5% target share and is playing in a Houston offense that has become the fifth-most pass-heavy team in the league (67.9% pass rate over the last three games). The source argues that Collins' recent 7-catch, 118-yard, 2-TD performance is a sign of more spike weeks to come rather than a sell-high moment.

Parker Washington is a buy-low target following his worst game of the season. Despite recent low pass volume from Trevor Lawrence, Washington maintains a strong target share and remains a focal point of the team's scheme; he was the intended first read on a touchdown pass to Brian Thomas Jr. and recently dropped a probable 36-yard touchdown.

The source advises to buy high on Quinshon Judkins, who is dominating the Cleveland backfield with over 75% of rush attempts in recent games. His role is ascending, with carry counts increasing from 12 in the first two weeks to 18 and 17 in the last two, alongside strong receiving production including two games with five-plus catches.

Sam LaPorta's sophomore season is used as a historical parallel for Colston Loveland's slow start, noting that LaPorta was a bust at his ADP early in the year before finishing strong.

Saquon Barkley's return timeline from injury remains unclear, contributing to the overall negative outlook for the Philadelphia Eagles' offense.
