Identifying the right buy-low and sell-high trade candidates is crucial to staying ahead of your league. In this article, we dive into the top trade targets for Week 11, with insights and recommendations from Featured Pros analysts. With the trade deadlines approaching in fantasy leagues, it’s time to make that final move to push you over the top.

Week 11 Trade Candidates: Buy Low

Who is your favorite buy-low trade candidate at this point in the season, and why? Also, who are you willing to give up for him?

Ladd McConkey (WR – LAC)

“Ladd McConkey has had back-to-back games with fewer than nine half-point PPR fantasy points. The rookie is coming off one of his worst performances, totaling 6.2 fantasy points on a season-low two targets. However, he faced a talented Tennessee Titans pass defense, with Justin Herbert throwing only 18 times in a blowout victory. More importantly, McConkey saw as many targets as any other Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver. The rookie has an appealing upcoming schedule, with matchups against the Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the next few weeks. I would sell high on Ricky Pearsall or Rashod Bateman to acquire McConkey.”

Nico Collins (WR – HOU)

“My favorite buy-low trade candidate at this point in the season is Nico Collins. He’s been out since week 6 and was activated off of the IR last week, although he did not play. He could be a difference-maker for your team during the push to make the playoffs or in your fantasy football playoffs. Collins averaged 18.1 fantasy points per game in weeks 1-5. I am willing to trade away CeeDee Lamb as Dak Prescott has opted for season-ending surgery. I don’t see CeeDee Lamb being successful with Cooper Rush as the starting quarterback for the rest of this season.”

Taysom Hill (TE – NO)

“Last week, Taysom Hill had an 88-yard TD called back because of a questionable penalty. In addition, Hill was stopped on a 4th-and-two inside the 5. New Orleans has some good matchups down the stretch with games against the Rams, Giants, Commanders, Raiders, and Bucs (Week 18). Ringo would trade Jake Ferguson, Dallas Goedert, or Cole Kmet for Taysom. Few TEs have the potential to be a difference maker at TE, especially for such a cheap price. However, when it comes to incredibly bad jokes and terrible puns, only one fantasy analyst is King of the Hill, and that’s Mark Ringo.”

Jared Goff (QB – DET)

“Jared Goff – It’s hard to get any lower than a five-interception game, but there are a couple of strong reasons to suspect Goff’s off Sunday night was a fluke. One, the Texans’ defense ranks second in defensive DVOA. And two, Goff has had the most extreme home/road splits of current starting quarterbacks since he joined the Lions. I rank Goff as a top-10 quarterback back in Detroit in Week 11. And you could potentially snag him for Russell Wilson or Justin Herbert after their multi-touchdown games in Week 10.”
– Scott Spratt (FTN)

D.K. Metcalf (WR – SEA)

“If fantasy managers are concerned about D.K. Metcalf’s role in the Seahawks offense after Jaxon Smith-Njigba‘s monster outing in Week 9 versus Buffalo, go and get him. Metcalf is the main target in the Seattle offense, and they need him back in the worst way after missing the last two contests with a knee injury. Up next for Metcalf is the 49ers, a team that he has had relative success against in his career (55-680-5). If a deal for Metcalf can be focused around DeVonta Smith, Jayden Reed, or Chase Brown, that would represent a huge coup.”
– Ed Birdsall (Talking Points Sports)

Josh Downs (WR – IND)

“Josh Downs isn’t scoring a ton of fantasy points, but it’s not for a lack of volume. He’s been the only thing working consistently in the passing game for the Colts, and his nine targets per week are all but locked in at this point. Given his volume in this offense (earned from both Joe Flacco and Anthony Richardson), Downs is a weekly must-start that Downs managers might have been disappointed with in recent weeks. Though a better PPR play, Downs is still a great buy in half-ppr leagues, where he’s only finished as the WR34 and WR21 in back-to-back weeks due to a lack of a touchdown. But I’m buying in, even with a Week 14 bye, thanks to a decent schedule and an amazing target share. I’ll move Austin Ekeler, D’Andre Swift, a WR like Quentin Johnston, or a combination of two of these guys to get Downs.”
– Jeremy Shulman (Fantasy Football Universe)

Davante Adams (WR – NYJ)

“To say that Davante Adams has been a disappointment this year is an understatement. He was drafted by managers fairly high due to his high targets in the past, even though he was on the Raiders. His time there was disappointing, but hope was abounding when he was traded to his old QB, Aaron Rodgers. New scenery, same results….unless you look at last week’s stat line where he was targeted 13 times! Those targets will soon lead to more receptions and touchdowns. Trade for him now in exchange for a WR2 on a running team like Quentin Johnston, Jordan Addison, Noah Brown, or Jameson Williams.”

Week 11 Trade Candidates: Sell High

Who is your favorite sell-high candidate at this point in the season and why? Also, who would you try to get in return?

Ricky Pearsall (WR – SF)

“Ricky Pearsall is coming off the best performance of his short career, totaling 15.3 half-point PPR fantasy points, scoring his first NFL touchdown in Week 10. However, he scored 84.1% of his fantasy points on a catch-and-run 46-yard touchdown. More importantly, Pearsall saw six targets, five fewer than Jauan Jennings (11). The veteran has filled in as the No. 2 wide receiver when the San Francisco 49ers have been without Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel Sr., totaling double-digit targets in both games without one of the star pass catchers this year. Furthermore, George Kittle had a season-low four targets last week. Pearsall will struggle to see consistent targets as a rookie. While I’m still a fan of his in dynasty, it’s time to sell high in redraft leagues. I would try to flip Pearsall for Ladd McConkey.”
– Mike Fanelli (FantasyPros)

Najee Harris (RB – PIT) | Jaylen Warren (RB – PIT)

“My favorite sell-high candidates at this point in the season are Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren. These Pittsburgh Steelers running backs have brutal schedules for the rest of the season. In weeks 11-17, they face Cincinnati (24th against the run), Cleveland twice (25th against the run), Baltimore twice (26th against the run), Philadelphia (30th against the run), and Kansas City (32nd against the run). I would try to get a running back that has a more favorable schedule, especially for your playoff run or in the fantasy playoffs. James Conner (RB-ARI) comes to mind. Take a look at his remaining schedule. You may be able to pull off a trade for Conner, as he is on a bye week this week.”
– Jeff Boggis (Fantasy Football Empire)

Brock Bowers (TE – LV)

“Desmond Ridder is taking over at QB, and that could be problematic for Bowers’ owners. Ridder struggled mightily with accuracy issues in Atlanta. Ringo thinks the smart bet is to trade Bowers, while his stock is still high, for Kyle Pitts, Mark Andrews, Sam LaPorta, or Trey McBride. I guess what Ringo is saying is that it’s time for owners to bow out from Bowers or that Bowers’ owners should “rid” themselves of Bowers? No, nothing? If you read this entire paragraph without vomiting then go ahead and take a bow, haha. ”
– Mark Ringo (Sleepers and Busts)

Demarcus Robinson (WR – LAR)

“Demarcus Robinson has continued to play 70-plus percent of snaps since Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua returned to the lineup, and he will have continued flex value as the third Rams receiver. But his five touchdowns in his last five games seem unsustainable. Robinson had just five targets on plays that started in the red zone and just eight end zone targets in that stretch and racked up a 2.21 expected touchdown surplus that was the fourth biggest among wide receivers. Try to trade him for an unluckier scorer like Jaylen Warren.”
– Scott Spratt (FTN)

Tyreek Hill (WR – MIA)

“If there is, somehow, a manager that wants to take on Tyreek Hill, any fantasy manager should jump at that within reason. It has been dreadful for the Dolphins wideout of late, and the hits keep on coming. Before Monday night’s contest against the Rams, it was revealed that Hill has torn ligaments in his wrist. That, on top of no 100-yard outings since Week 1, slams about every alarm there is about what the prospects may be for Hill the rest of the way. There are a wide range of outcomes for what Hill could command. However, if any manager could walk away from that deal with a Rhamondre Stevenson or a Marvin Harrison Jr., that would be reasonable if not exceptional compensation.”
– Ed Birdsall (Talking Points Sports)

Jauan Jennings (WR – SF)

“Sell Jauan Jennings. He’s a very good player in a solid offense, but everyone is set to take a hit now that Christian McCaffrey is back and fully healthy in San Francisco. Jennings looked great last week, catching 7 of 11 targets for 93 yards. Last week’s half-ppr WR17 even has a very nice schedule ahead. The problem that some may not yet understand is that he’ll be unreliable week-to-week as a boom/bust option. George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, and CMC will be sure to see to that. I’m looking to sell now for Ladd McConkey or some RB help in the form of Tony Pollard or Rachaad White. A weekly flex with upside is what I’m after.”
– Jeremy Shulman (Fantasy Football Universe)

CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL)

“At WR, CeeDee Lamb represents the best “sell-at-any-cost” you can have. There’s no denying Lamb’s talent but with Dak Prescott‘s injury and the lack of QB skills behind him, it’s knocked Lamb down to WR3/Flex range at best RoS. We saw this with the Jets in ’23, and Cooper Rush/Trey Lance are even worse than what the Jets trotted out there weekly. Capitalizing on Lamb’s name value is where it’s at. Targeting a mid-RB2 is probably easiest, like Rhamondre Stevenson, but you could get lucky and get Tyrone Tracy or Chase Brown.”
– Mike MacGregor (Draft Buddy)

The Chase Brown Debate

Occasionally, two analysts will see one player as both a buy low and a sell high. Here are the arguments for Chase Brown:

Buy

“Chase Brown has the look of a league-winning RB. We’re used to the Bengals having a split backfield, with Zack Moss getting the lion’s share of the work thanks to his pass-blocking prowess. Since his injury, all of that work has gone to Brown. Since Moss’ injury, Brown has earned at least 20 touches in both games, and the Bengals haven’t done anything significant that would take work away from him. Chase Brown is a rest-of-season RB1 that can be had for RB2 prices. If I can turn Cade Otton and Tank Bigsby into Brown, I’m doing that in a heartbeat.”
– Mike MacGregor (Draft Buddy)

Sell

“Chase Brown has been a pleasant surprise this year, helping owners survive injuries and disappointments at the runningback position. His value is fairly high right now, but he has a bye coming and games against decent defenses, including Pittsburgh, Denver, Cleveland, and Tennessee, all of whom are within the top 14 rushing defenses in the league. Couple that with the passing explosion of the Bengals, and Brown could be traded for a higher-end runningback with an easier schedule or lower current value, including Pacheco, Kamara, Cook, or Montgomery.”
