Buy-Low Trade Targets for Fantasy Football
QB: Jalen Hurts - Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has struggled to produce in 2025, both as a passer and runner. Hurts is only averaging 18.4 completions per game (27th in the NFL) and 206.7 passing yards per game (22nd in the NFL).

Usually, for Hurts, his rushing ability, especially near the goalline, has catapulted his fantasy success, but that hasn’t necessarily come to fruition this season. Hurts is averaging his lowest rushing attempts, yards, and touchdowns in his entire NFL career.
However, the tide should turn here soon. Hurts has a favorable schedule upcoming, including games against Dallas, Washington, and Chicago ahead. All three of those defenses rank in the bottom five in points allowed and fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks this season.
More scoring for the Eagles means more “tush push” opportunities for Hurts. If fantasy managers are growing frustrated with the Eagles' poor offensive performance, then it might be a good idea to target Hurts as a buy-low candidate.
RB: Jaylen Warren - Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has been one of the biggest steals in fantasy drafts this season, and it’s only going to get better from here. Through eight games, Warren has had 113 carries for 474 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 214 yards and a receiving touchdown on 23 catches.
Rookie running back Kaleb Johnson has been a non-factor so far, leaving Warren as the main back, with Kenneth Gainwell contributing as a receiving back. Warren has played 60% of the snaps, which is on pace to be his career high.
Even with an increase in usage, his efficiency has been off the charts as well. Warren is among the best backs in yards after contact (2.7), broken tackles (16), and percentage of rush yards over expected (46.4%).

The upcoming schedule for Warren and the Steelers back is fantastic. From Week 11 to Week 15, Warren plays a bottom-10 run defense in four of the next five games, with the only other matchup being against the Bears, who have struggled all season against the run.
This week’s matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals couldn’t be better for Warren, as they have allowed the most fantasy points to running backs this season. In Week 7 against this Bengals defense, Warren had 158 scrimmage yards and had a 25-yard touchdown called back by a “questionable” holding call.
Fantasy managers should expect a big game by Warren in Week 11, and that should set the tone for his outlook the rest of the season.
WR: Ricky Pearsall - San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is nearing a return after missing the previous five weeks with a knee injury. The PCL sprain has put a hole in what could’ve been a breakout season, but there’s still plenty of time left.
In the three games that he played fully, Pearsall had 16 catches on 24 targets, for 281 yards, averaging 14.6 PPR points per game despite not scoring a touchdown. Keep in mind, only once this season has Pearsall played with starting quarterback Brock Purdy, in which he had 108 yards.
Purdy to Pearsall! wow

As a rookie, Pearsall finished incredibly well, averaging seven catches for over 100 yards and a touchdown in his last two games.
Pearsall may be returning to a deep receiving core in San Francisco, but with Brandon Aiyuk still not practicing following a significant knee injury he suffered in 2024, Pearsall should be the team’s WR1 moving forward.
The 2024 first-round pick has an electric playoff schedule, facing three bottom-ten defenses against wide receivers in his last three games. With Purdy back, no specific timeline for Aiyuk, and Pearsall’s first-round talent, expect big things to come for the second-year receiver.
Sell Candidates for Fantasy Football Trades
QB: Justin Herbert – Los Angeles Chargers
There aren’t many quarterbacks that are specifically sell-high candidates, but things for Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert could be turning south here soon. Herbert currently leads the NFL in completions and passing attempts, but that high volume has dropped recently.
During the Chargers' three-game winning streak, Herbert has averaged only 29 pass attempts over the past three weeks. With their defense playing great, and running back Kimani Vidal stealing the show, the offense hasn’t had to rely on Herbert as much.
Touchdown Kimani Vidal! Chargers lead 22-3.

The injury to Joe Alt has and will play a factor as well. Since Alt first went down in Week 4, Herbert is the most sacked quarterback in the NFL, and with their star left tackle done for the season, he could be under pressure a lot down the stretch.
In the next three weeks, they face Jacksonville, a bye week, and Las Vegas. Not only are the Chargers going to be favorites in all of those games, but those two teams are very good at creating pressure and are solid against quarterbacks this season.
If you're approaching the trade deadline in your fantasy league and have two solid quarterbacks, it may be smart to deal Herbert, as he could struggle in the next three weeks.
RB: D'Andre Swift - Chicago Bears
Chicago Bears running back D’Andre Swift has been on a terror as of late. In his last four games, Swift has averaged 120.5 scrimmage yards per game and three touchdowns in those games.
Since Week 6, Swift has averaged 19.1 PPR points per game, on pace to finish as the RB7. However, several factors positively affected his current hot streak.
Since Week 3, the Bears have faced a bottom-10 run defense in five of the seven games, and didn’t face a tough matchup once during that stretch.
The schedule from Week 11 on is daunting. The Bears face a top-10 run defense in five of their next seven games, including a fantasy playoff schedule that could cost teams championships in their leagues.
The emergence of Kyle Monangai could affect Swift’s value as well. Monangai is averaging 5.2 yards per carry, while Swift is averaging 4.8 on the season. Swift holds the edge in snap share and usage, but short-yardage attempts and goalline looks could be limited due to Monangai’s power running style.

Too many factors will affect Swift down the stretch, and fantasy managers should sell before it's too late. Swift and Monangai were key contributors to winning matchups these past few weeks, but with a tough schedule coming up, now’s the time to sell.
WR: Deebo Samuel Sr. - Washington Commanders
Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. has had a rollercoaster season in his first season in the nation's capital. In nine games, Samuel has had 46 catches for 396 yards and four touchdowns, ranking as the WR22 on a per-game basis.
Injuries across the offensive side of the ball have positively and negatively affected Samuel’s value throughout the season. Terry McLaurin has played just four games this season, while Jayden Daniels has been in and out of the lineup as well.
The injuries have caused this offense to look putrid these past four games, and it has hurt Samuel in recent weeks. He hasn’t cleared over 45 yards since Week 5, and was able to salvage another bad game in Week 10 with a touchdown when the game was out of reach.

Samuel also has a brutal schedule in the next few weeks, including a bye week and three games against top-eight defenses against wide receivers.
Fantasy managers may be hoping the late-season return of Daniels could help, but by then, McLaurin will be back in his WR1 role, taking much-needed targets away from Samuel. Sell-high on the former 49er “wide back” as his value will likely plummet from here.
