There are some Fantasy Football managers who are sitting pretty after Week 4 of the 2023 season. Some monster individual performances have been put together thus far this season that people have reaped the benefits of.
But, some of those impressive shows will turn out to be outliers in the long-run. Figuring out which players are one-time wonders and which can sustain a high level of success isn’t easy, but that is part of what separates good Fantasy Football managers from bad ones.
Heading into Week 5, there are a number of players who are coming off of good games that you should strongly consider trading. Sell-high opportunities exist this week, with running back Brian Robinson Jr. of the Washington Commanders being one.
Robinson has been great for Fantasy Football managers thus far this season, putting together at least RB2 numbers in three out of four games. This past week against a tough Philadelphia Eagles team, he ran the ball 14 times for 45 yards and a touchdown.
With the Commanders getting the other running backs involved more against Philadelphia, the time to sell Robinson could be now. With a tougher schedule on the horizon, this is the time to make a move.
Another running back to try and move is Samaje Perine of the Denver Broncos. If you were holding out hope that he would be the lead back should Javonte Williams ever miss time, the coaching staff dashed those hopes.
Jaleel McLaughlin took over when Williams injured his hip against the Chicago Bears in Week 4. Perine handled short-yardage and goal line work, which could have value in Fantasy Football. If anyone shows interest in taking a flier on Perine, pull the trigger on a deal.
If one of your league mates is looking for wide receiver help, see if they would be interested in taking on Christian Kirk. The Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver led the team in Week 4 against the Atlanta Falcons in London, making him a prime sell-high candidate.
Zay Jones missed his second straight game because of injury and Jamal Agnew joined him on the sidelines. That led to an increased role as Kirk was the unquestioned No. 2 on the depth chart behind Calvin Ridley.
We have already seen that won’t be the case when the Jaguars are in full health. Kirk also benefitted from the Falcons shadowing Ridley with A.J. Terrell, creating a perfect storm to sell him.
The tight end position has been underwhelming thus far this season. There are plenty of people who could use help, making Dalton Schultz of the Houston Texans an ideal trade piece. He caught his first touchdown this week and with the Texans being more competitive than people projected, it hurts his value in Fantasy Football.
Rarely in 12 personnel, Schultz has seen less than ideal playing time. That makes it tough to produce as opportunities are needed to put up numbers. With Brevin Jordan pushing for more time behind him as well, the time to move Schultz is now.
There will be some tight-end needy teams in your league, so the opportunity will present itself to make a deal. Another tight end worth moving is David Njoku of the Cleveland Browns. Catching six passes for 46 yards is his best performance thus far this season.
However, it came with backup Dorian Thompson-Robinson leading the offense as Deshaun Watson was injured. His value was lower with Watson under center last season and the same thing is happening this season.
With competition from Harrison Bryant and Jordan Akins for snaps, Njoku doesn’t have the highest ceiling. But, he carries some name value and is still the starter, providing you a chance to move him in Fantasy Football before it is too late.
