There are a lot of Fantasy Football managers who are sitting pretty through the first two weeks of the season. If you are one of those fortunate people who have started 2-0, you currently hold bragging rights over your league mates.
While that is a good position to be in heading into Week 3, a hot start could quickly be derailed by a few poor decisions. There are always a few players who overachieve and finding the time time to move them is key to continued success in Fantasy Football.
In the first two weeks of the season, several players would fall into that category. Looking to maximize their value, here are five players you should look to sell high on in Fantasy Football after Week 2, starting with Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert.
It has never been a question of talent when it came to Mostert. He can get the job done when his number is called, he just struggled to stay healthy and on the field. Through two weeks, he has been the clear lead back in Miami and one of the most productive players in Fantasy Football.
Injuries to Jeff Wilson Jr. and Salvon Ahmed have played a part in that. The team used a third-round pick on Devon Achane and he will eventually get a chance to showcase his skill. With trade rumors still swirling about possible additions, it could be best to sell off your Mostert shares.
Another running back who it may be time to sell high on is Tyler Allgeier of the Atlanta Falcons. He is receiving a ton of work as the complement to rookie Bijan Robinson, carrying the ball 31 times in two games. But, with the return of Cordarrelle Patterson looming, his role could change.
If Allgeier and Patterson split snaps, it will be hard to trust him. Especially in contests with negative game script as all of the passing work will go to Robinson and Patterson, leaving Allgeier on the bench.
Wide receiver Christian Kirk exploded in Week 2, catching 11 passes for the Jacksonville Jaguars after having one in Week 1. Still behind Zay Jones in the pecking order for 12 personnel, Kirk will only make an impact in games where the Jaguars are lining up predominantly in 11 personnel sets.
Selling after a boom game is how Fantasy Football managers find sustained success. If you are looking to cash in on name value, Stefon Diggs is someone worth looking into dealing. The Buffalo Bills‘ schedule isn’t getting any easier and his production has slipped a little bit.
Diggs remains a top-10 player at wide receiver to this point, but that standing could slip unless the Bills find more consistency in the passing game. If someone is willing to flip another top option with a better schedule and fewer consistency concerns, it is a worthwhile move to make.
Last but not least, tight end Cole Kmet of the Chicago Bears is worth shopping on the market. Kmet didn’t command as much playing time in Week 2 as in Week 1 as his backups were involved in the game plan more.
If his volume in passing routes run starts to drop, he loses value to Fantasy Football managers as well. The Bears are not a high-volume passing attack already, so if Kmet loses playing time it is an ugly situation.
Given the barren wasteland that the tight end position has been, someone may find value in Kmet having nine receptions for 82 yards in the first two weeks of the season. If that is the case, sell, sell, sell.
