Unfortunately, trades aren’t as easy as waiver pickups. It takes two willing parties to make a deal happen – and both parties always want to “win” the trade. That makes it tough to negotiate, as simply “improving your team” often isn’t enough for some owners. That just means you have to work harder to find the right deal, which could possibly mean taking on a little more risk on your side of the transaction. If you trust your ability to make the right pickups and pick the right starters, you should be able to handle a little extra risk (within reason). That could mean targeting someone who’s due back from injury soon or trading away a guy who’s seemingly at the top of his game.

Remember, values can change quickly in fantasy football, so don’t get too locked in on a certain trade target. Change your thinking as the trends change, but don’t be afraid to strike if you have a good offer on the table. –  Matt Lutovsky

Week 7 Fantasy Football Stock Watch: Buy-low candidates

Kareem Hunt (RB – CLE)

After the disappointing performance in Week 6, you might be able to get Hunt cheaper than you should. Look, he’s not going to come cheap, but remember you’d be buying what might be the No. 1 fantasy running back over the next two weeks when Hunt plays the Bengals and the Raiders, two teams that have been obliterated on the ground. There will be no “buy-low” window for him after Week 7.

Mark Andrews (TE – BAL)

These are the moments you have to capitalize on as a fantasy owner. Many were expecting a smash performance out of Andrews considering the matchup with the Eagles, who had been extremely generous to tight ends coming into that game. Andrews has been extremely hit-or-miss, and that can be frustrating to some fantasy managers. Try to take advantage of that because if you’ve been trying to stream tight ends, you know just how hard this year has been for the non-elite guys. With Andrews, at least you get top-three potential every week.

Week 7 Fantasy Football Stock Watch: Player to hold

Ronald Jones (RB – TB)

Some might be thinking, “It’s time to sell Jones before he screws up and gets benched again.” WIth the way he’s played over the last month, he’s earned himself a much longer leash going forward. Meanwhile, the best attribute a running back can have is availability, which is something Leonard Fournette has not offered. With the lack of true workhorses in the NFL right now, Jones should be considered a somewhat stable RB2.
