Justin Boone Fantasy Analyst Wed, October 14, 2026 at 5:33 PM UTC · 6 min read About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Creating realistic trade offers that lead to a deal being accepted is always challenging. Throughout the season, Justin Boone will be publishing his rest-of-season trade value charts, which you can use as a guide to help make moves and manage your roster.
Below, he highlights some of the players you should be buying or selling, before their value shifts in the coming weeks.
Tuten has been the clear lead back in Jacksonville this season and his role continues to grow, resulting in season-highs in snap share (66%) and route share (43%) against the Eagles.
The 23-year-old currently sits as the RB19 in fantasy points per game, but his usage points to a much higher ceiling. He's quietly averaging 85 scrimmage yards per outing and has only scored two touchdowns this season after finding the end zone seven times in a limited role as a rookie last year.
One of those seven TDs came against the Texans, the defense he'll face in Week 6. While the true breakout performance might not occur versus Houston, it's only a matter of time before Tuten has a blowup week that announces his potential to even the most casual fantasy managers.
I'm treating him as a strong fantasy RB2 with a low-end RB1 finish well within his range of outcomes by season's end.
With Marvin Harrison Jr. scratched while he awaited a trade, hopes were high for Wilson in a great matchup with the Lions. So, naturally, he delivered one of his worst stat lines of the season with just four catches for 30 yards.
That's a fluky result in a game that got out of hand, which impacted Wilson's snaps in the fourth quarter. Don't let that overshadow his volume and production the two weeks prior, when he posted 11 catches for 89 yards and a TD in Week 3 and seven grabs for 95 yards in Week 4.
Use that disappointing performance to your advantage and make an offer for Wilson this week. He's tied for fourth in targets, averaging 10.2 per game. Consider him an obvious fantasy WR2 with low-end WR1 upside, rest of season.
Speaking of players coming off a shockingly weak stat line, Tate followed up his breakout nine-catch, 145-yard effort in Week 4 with just one reception for six yards on five targets on Sunday.
Starting a member of the Titans offense in your fantasy lineup is not a fun endeavor this year, but Tate has the ability to transcend this struggling franchise.
Having the easiest fantasy schedule among all receivers will help him the rest of the way. The first-rounder will only face one opponent that ranks in the bottom half of the league for fantasy points allowed to his position.
Rookies tend to improve the further they get into their debut campaign and Tate has an excellent chance to do that. He's already a high-end WR3 and the path to WR2 status is well within reach.
Mason has spent the last month on IR, but is pacing to be activated in Week 7 when the Vikings return from bye.
While his 31-year-old teammate Aaron Jones Sr. (turns 32 in December) has emerged as a workhorse in Mason's absence, that's not a sustainable approach. Jones has also battled soft-tissue injuries for several seasons, so it's fair to question his durability over the course of a 17-game campaign, especially after he handled so much volume in recent weeks.

In their only game together so far, it was Mason who saw more carries, turning 15 touches into 59 yards and a score. Minnesota has leaned on its rushing attack this year and now has one of the five softest remaining schedules for fantasy RBs.
Mason is only rostered in 67% of leagues, so you might be able to pick him up as a free agent in shallower formats. If not, this might be your last chance to trade for him as a fantasy RB3 with a sneaky RB2 ceiling.
There's no denying Irving looked incredible in the Bucs' Thursday night win over the Cowboys. His 175 yards and two touchdowns were by far his best marks through the first five weeks and will likely be his season-highs when we look back at the 2026 campaign.
That's why he's being featured in this space. It's not a knock on Irving, simply a value play. Fantasy managers capitalize on an outlier stat line that occurred in a prime-time game against a very friendly defense.
Are you confident that Irving will handle goal-line work, after we watched Sean Tucker take those snaps just a week prior? I'm not. This was also Irving's first 100-yard game since 2024, so let's temper expectations a bit.
I view Irving as a fantasy RB2 and would be using his big performance to your advantage. Package Irving with another piece and send out offers for a top-12 RB or WR.
We knew the high end of Skattebo's fantasy outcomes likely evaporated when Jaxson Dart suffered a season-ending injury. However, he could still be a strong fantasy starter as long as he maintained the workhorse volume he was given before getting hurt as a rookie.
Sadly, that hasn't materialized and Skattebo is now sharing the Giants' backfield with Najee Harris and Tyrone Tracy Jr., who earned six touches apiece in Week 5.
Skattebo's snaps and touches have now declined in three straight games and his role as a pass-catcher has been minimized as well.
That sent Skattebo into the very low end of the fantasy RB2 range and might push him into RB3 territory in the near future.
Don't be fooled by Dobbins' RB16 finish in Week 5. It was still an inefficient outing that required 20 touches to produce 74 yards and a touchdown.
Prior to that, Dobbins had failed to top 55 yards or find the end zone in any contest this season. Now, he'll take on a Seahawks defense that's held every back not named Christian McCaffrey to 51 rushing yards or less. Seattle is also tied for second in the league with just two rushing TDs permitted through five games.
If you're going to move Dobbins, you have to work quickly, since the Seahawks and Broncos square off on Thursday Night Football.
Though I hate to put Boston in the Sell section, it's the right move from a redraft standpoint.
The rookie has overachieved in a Browns offense that's only generated 202 passing yards per game. Boston has been held to three catches or less in three of his first five appearances, but salvaged two of those days with touchdowns.
While every reception counts, it's clear that Boston is fortunate to be a top-20 fantasy WR on the year. Given the quarterback play in Cleveland, Boston's production is likely to be more boom-or-bust moving forward, making him a fantasy WR3.
Like Irving, this doesn't mean Boston isn't a good player whom you could hold onto and even start. But, if there's someone in your league buying him at his current fantasy WR2 value, you should consider trading him.
