Buy Low, Sell High: Week 2

Sigmund Bloom's Buy Low, Sell High: Week 2 Sigmund Bloom Published 09/14/2023

Buy High

Tua Tagovailoa (QB-MIA) - Between the concussion concerns and the increasing number of running quarterbacks, Tagovailoa was not a fashionable breakout quarterback pick in fantasy circles this year. Week 1 certainly changed that, but even more impressive than the numbers was the passing game’s ability to turn the tight end, fullback, and two smurf-sized receivers into dangerous downfield targets. The Dolphins also did a lot more in Week 1 with only one of Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill on the field than they did last year. It appears Mike McDaniel is one step ahead of opposing defenses. If they light up Bill Belichick’s defense after New England frustrated Jalen Hurts last week, the price for Tagovailoa will surely go up.

Kendrick Bourne (WR-NE) - Bourne was a trusted target for Mac Jones in what looks like a much more functional and appropriate offense for Jones' skills and the Patriots' fragile offensive line. The other main wide receiver targets are the already injured DeVante Parker, the sadly already past his peak Juju Smith-Schuster, and two rookies. Jones is going to lean on Bourne, who was deployed like and produced like a #1 receiver in Week 1. Puka Nacua overshadowed him, but Bourne is just as likely to be here to stay in fantasy leagues.

Sell High

Justice Hill (RB-BAL) - Hill’s two scores vaulted him up the waiver wire list, but he did little on his other carries, and the Ravens are likely to employ a three-headed committee in the backfield. The running game ain’t what it used to be for Baltimore, and the offensive line already has two hurt starters. If you can get a draft pick from a running back needy team for Hill, cash him in.
