Capitalize on the fantasy football trade market in your leagues with these trade targets and players to trade ahead of Week 3.
Dobbins has rushed for over 130 yards in each of his first two games. He currently leads the NFL with 266 rushing yards, and it doesn’t stop there, as Dobbins ranks No. 1 in rushing EPA and is eighth in completion percentage according to NFL Pro.
It’s clear he’s been great, I can’t argue with that. But he’s currently a hot commodity who probably won’t finish the season as a fantasy RB1. For now, Dobbins still shares a backfield with Gus Edwardsand even if that doesn’t continue, Dobbins’ stock is probably at its highest level of the entire year. Why you ask? Well, he’ll be facing the Steelers defense in Week 3.
Sell ​​high on Dobbins for someone like Chris Olave If you can. Speaking of which…
Buy cheap on Chris Olave
Olave is someone you want to trade in your fantasy leagues. After a bad Week 1 where he only scored three fantasy points, Olave bounced back in Week 2, giving up 88 total yards on six targets. However, that only translated to 10.8 points, so you can still buy low.
The Saints offense is in great shape right now. Their offensive line looks much better than expected and new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak has been nearly perfect as a playmaker. Through two games, Olave has earned a solid 21% target share, and his play-action target rate has more than doubled from 2023 according to Fantasy Life.
Expect some monstrous weeks ahead Rachid Shaheed And Alvin Kamara a balance had to be found and some of them were transferred to Olave. Try to trade him if you can.

The best buy in all of fantasy football is Bowers.
I think we’ve overthought his role in this offense. Let’s just look at the facts. Bowers was the best TE in college football at the top level of the SEC the last three years. He was elite at reading defenses and picking up yards after the catch.
I’m not sure we should be too surprised that he already looks like one of the best TEs in the NFL. Bowers currently leads all fantasy TEs in points, receptions, and targets. His 25% target share is impressive, especially considering he’s competing with Davante Adams and only runs 70% of the team’s routes at the moment.
He’s been great. I don’t even know how defenses can stop what he does because Bowers lines up everywhere. Defenses can’t just put their best player on him like in a receiver vs. cornerback matchup. Bowers moves off the line of scrimmage and slides into the slot 50% of the time, while moving to the outside 15% of the time. He’s extremely versatile.
Bowers is a true league winner and I would rather have him instead. Travis Kelce right away.
This one may seem questionable because the Giants’ offense is raw, I get that, but Singletary’s role is excellent right now. He played 80% of the team’s snaps in Week 2 and handled 76% of the carries in the backfield. That’s as good a role as you’ll find in fantasy, but yes, the offense is indeed concerning.
But we knew that going into the season, when Singletary was drafted in the eighth round of fantasy. We knew he would be in a bad offense behind a questionable offensive line. But believe it or not, the offensive line has looked solid through two games. They helped Singletary turn 17 touchdowns into 95 yards and a touchdown in Week 2.
Singletary will have some tough matchups against the Browns and Cowboys ahead, but I’m willing to buy into that solid role for the Giants’ veteran back.
Ridley is coming off a monster week. He scored 22.7 fantasy points on five touchdowns in Week 2. He found the end zone once on the ground and once in the air. It was a great performance and in my opinion, this is the perfect time to sell Ridley because I am not sold on the Titans offense.
Will Levis He ranks 30th out of 32 starting QBs in rushing efficiency after two games, according to NFL Pro. He’s been pressured on 53 percent of his dropbacks, 9 percent more than any other quarterback in the league. Given the Titans have a young offensive line (and it’s been evident through two games), that’s concerning.
Now, I get it — this is an offense with a new coach and a lot of new personnel. It could take a while for that to come together. The positive for Ridley is that he doesn’t have a lot of competition with DeAndre Hopkins damaged.
Ridley will have more big weeks, but I’m not sure how consistent they will be. That’s why I’m trying to trade him for someone like Chris Olave or Jameson Williams.
I said last week that Dell was a buy-low candidate, and given his Week 2 usage, I’m still trying to buy low. This may sound crazy since he finished Week 2 with negative receiving yards, but through two games, Dell has run a route on 86 percent of the team’s pass plays, which is just 2 percent behind the team leader. Nico Collins.
This is the role we expected Dell to play. He runs a lot of routes and is used on the outside. It’s the same role he played last season when he was ranked in the top 20 in fantasy points per game and yards per route run. I think Dell is still a talented player and if that’s the case, he should start producing soon.
I’m back on Diontae Johnson now that I’m a second year QB Bryce Young was just on the bench. I firmly believe Young was the main problem with the Panthers offense. It wasn’t the WRs and certainly not the offensive line that ranks in the top 10 in protection after two games according to PFF.
In Week 2, the Panthers completed 55 percent of their drives on three attempts, and only one drive lasted more than six plays. The worst part? Bryce Young had time to throw in that game. But now we have a grown man in the room at QB. Andy Dalton and he’s looked good the last few times we’ve seen him start for the Panthers and Saints.
But perhaps more importantly, he knows how to run an NFL offense. It’s worth thinking about: Is Dalton the best quarterback Johnson has played with in the last 4-5 years? It seems like a crazy question, but I think the answer is yes. I also think he’s great at getting out wide and winning targets. Maybe I’m a sicko, but I’m not buying Johnson right now.
