Fridays are for Five Lists of 5! I’ll be doing this for every week of the season. Think of these as byte-sized, two-minutes-to-yourself lists to scan during your weekend as you foam at the mouth for any competitive fantasy edge. As much relevant analysis as I can fit into, like, 250 words per player (notice how that number has already ballooned since the first list?).
Kicking it off this week with five buy-low trade targets.
Follow along at my handle @dansby_edits for stat threads with minimal emojis all week long. The minimal emojis thing is how I differentiate myself in the market, you see.
Also available in my Week 4 Five for 5:
- Five players to stash for Week 4
- Five players to stream for Week 4
- Five buy-low trade targets
- Five wide receivers due for breakout games
Stefon Diggs, WR, Houston Texans
We saw this last year in Buffalo. Diggs was one of the top-five wideouts for something like the first six weeks of the fantasy season. And then came the change at offensive coordinator, all the turbulence, etc. And he fell off entirely.
He’s the WR13 in PPR leagues, currently, and he won’t finish close to that. Try to get a WR2/RB2/TE1 for him. Tank Dell will eventually be back, and He’ll finish closer to WR30 by the time the season’s over.
Dallas Goedert, TE, Philadelphia Eagles
It’s unsustainable. Especially if the Eagles get one of their two top wideouts back on Sunday, which they might, seeing as at least A.J. Brown is questionable.
Goedert has 239 total receiving yards. A whopping 80 of those are yards over expected, which is good for first in the league. We know Goedert makes his money after the catch. But that’s a red flag for me that right around 33% of his yards weren’t expected. Goedert’s not that good.
But someone in your league might think he is!
Kyren Williams, RB, Los Angeles Rams
I don’t know how much I actually believe in this, but I absolutely understand there’s a case to be made for selling Kyren Williams high. I do think this Rams offense, for the last third or so of the fantasy regular season, will start clicking again. Cooper Kupp will be back before Puka Nacua, but any improvement in the passing game would add a fold to this offense’s currently desperate identity.
You might be getting concerned about workload, wear-and-tear, etc. If you are, trade him away. But do so at your own peril. At least get a royal’s ransom in return, please.
Chuba Hubbard, RB, Carolina Panthers
This is all about Jonathan Brooks, about whom I wrote in my buy-low column.
When Brooks comes back—which he’s eligible to do as early as Week 5—Hubbard isn’t going to see as much volume. He’ll have some passing game allure (he always does). But, beyond that, not much. I believe in Jonathan Brooks.
Heck—trade Hubbard for Brooks to someone who needs help this week!
Xavier Worthy, WR, Kansas City Chiefs
The window is closing fast. Ship him to someone else’s roster. A Swiftie’s. A Texas fan. Someone who can’t forget his Week 1 touchdown against the Baltimore Ravens.
He’s been less-and-less involved over the last two weeks, and the Chiefs are eventually going to de-throttle into coast-until-playoffs mode. Maybe Worthy will be the beneficiary of that. But I have a feeling we’re going to see Kansas City run this three-headed backfield of Steele, Perine, and Hunt into the ground so long as their defense can win them games.
