Buy Low
Marquise Brown (WR-ARI), Kyler Murray (QB-ARI) - Don't focus on last week's disappointing stats. Focus on Kyler Murray looking like his old self from day one after suffering an ACL tear, trusting his body on his Houdini pocket escapes, keeping plays alive, and presenting a threat as a runner. Brown won't face A.J. Terrell this week, and he was making beautiful music with Murray before the quarterback went down last year. A good old quarterback duel could be in store for us this week in Houston, and Brown and Murray's values may not be this low again this season.
Justin Fields (QB-CHI) - It's easy to forget that Fields was coming off of back-to-back four-touchdown performances when he got hurt. For his first game back, he'll face a Lions defense that just gave up 38 points to the Chargers. Fields faced the Lions twice last year and didn't have less than 132 rushing yards in either game. He also accounted for five touchdowns in the two games. Expect him to come back with a bang this week.
Jerick McKinnon (RB-KC) - McKinnon's five-week touchdown streak started in Week 13 last year, so it's good to get your trade offer out ahead of the eventual realization that not much has changed in the Chiefs offense this year. Patrick Mahomes II looked for McKinnon in the most important situations of the most important regular-season games last year. Why would that change this year with the wide receiver group still racked by inexperience and inconsistency? A player who was a league winner last season in the same situation the following year shouldn't be as cheap as McKinnon is right now.
