For many leagues, the fantasy football trade deadline doesn’t happen until November 29th. With that being the case last year for ESPN, many commissioners have followed suit. Assuming you’re still able to make trades in your league, this can be the difference between winning and losing a championship. Today I’m going to look at three players you need to trade away before your fantasy football trade deadline.
With how talented CeeDee Lamb is, he’s still being valued as the WR8, according to the Fantasy Calc community. Right now, Lamb is averaging 17.5 PPG on the year, and a recent 18.6-point performance is propping his value up. That said, Lamb could easily drop out of the WR1 conversation now that Cooper Rush is his quarterback.
Even though Lamb has scored at least 16 points in two of those three games, we saw things get ugly in week 10 when he had 8.4 points. We saw an anomaly in week 11, where Rush had 354 yards because the Cowboys were getting blown out. Otherwise, Rush hasn’t thrown for more than 115 yards. When you can get players like Drake London, Garrett Wilson and Mike Evans instead, I would be shipping Lamb off.
Similar to Lamb, Malik Nabers is another talented receiver capped by his quarterback situation. Having Daniel Jones going to the bench isn’t necessarily the main reason why you should trade Nabers. The reason stems more from the fact that the market has failed to react to what Nabers has been doing after week four. No one is denying that Nabers has an elite ceiling, as we’ve seen him score 20-plus points in weeks 2-4.
The issue is that we’re so far removed from that part of the season and Nabers hasn’t finished with WR1 numbers (more than 15 PPG) since week four. Yet he’s still being ranked as a WR1 by the fantasy community. I’m fine with having him as a high-end WR2, but I would much rather have Garrett Wilson and Evans over Nabers.
It pains me to say that you should sell Nick Chubb because everyone wants to root for him, myself included. Unfortunately, if you want to win your fantasy football league, you can’t let your emotions cloud your judgment. Chubb is averaging 6.2 PPG on the year and that’s paired with some awful efficiency at 3.1 YPC.
You typically want running backs attached to good offenses which is something Chubb can’t match either. Right now the Browns are 31st in the NFL for points scored per game at 16.2. I would easily rather have Travis Etienne, Javonte Williams, Rico Dowdle or Jonathon Brooks for this fantasy football season.
