HISTORICAL FACTS: Week 3 trade targets acquire austin ekeler sell the commanders - The Untold Story

Trade value in the world of fantasy football is a fickle thing.

Constantly updating injury news, suspensions (I'm looking at you, Mike Evans), slumps and hot streaks can depress or improve player perception weekly. This allows you to extract value from opposing teams and unload over-performing players on your squad.

Beyond aggressively hitting the waiver wire, trading is the best way to upgrade your roster midseason. There's, of course, the inherent risk in doing so. Managers had every right to be disappointed with Jonathan Taylor's production through three weeks a season ago. Then he went on to lead the league in touchdowns en route to an RB1 campaign.

It goes without saying you don’t want to trade away the next Taylor—you want to trade for them, ideally in exchange for some players who are perhaps punching above their weight.

Two weeks of games isn’t a huge sample size, but it presents a more complete picture than we had to go off a week ago. That said, here are the buy and sell candidates heading into Week 3.
