Buy Low, Sell High: Week 2

Our Sigmund Bloom examines players you should target or try to move on from.

Sigmund Bloom's Buy Low, Sell High: Week 2 Sigmund Bloom Published 09/12/2024

The best deals you make are the ones you fear you might regret when you make them. We ride the rollercoaster of value throughout the season, and every week, there are buying and selling opportunities. Which are the best to try to take advantage of this week?

Buy Low 

Mark Andrews (TE-BAL) - The Chiefs have always done a good job taking Andrews away, and they were successful in doing that again by focusing resources on him in the season opener. Isaiah Likely's breakout gives Lamar Jackson a good alternative when other teams take that approach. But it also is a disincentive to focus solely on Andrews, so it could not be as big a net negative as the box score makes it appear to be. The fact that the Chiefs focus on Andrews shows how important and potent he is in this pass offense. He's more likely to fulfill expectations than Travis Kelce, who also underperformed in Week 1.

Jaylen Wright (RB-MIA) - The injury seal has already been broken on Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane. Jeff Wilson Jr. played ahead of Wright in Week 1,  but that could have been simply because of Wilson's ability to contribute on special teams. We'll see how the work is divided with at least Mostert out in Week 2. Wright has the explosive big-play ability that made Achane a fantasy star in this offense and could be the genie that won't go back in the bottle once he gets a chance to run in this offense.

Drake London (WR-ATL) - You might be able to get London even lower if you wait a week (and the Falcons are playing in a high visibility prime-time game), but certainly, his dynasty and redraft value have dropped significantly after so much optimism about his prospects with Kirk Cousins pushed the values up in the offseason. Michael Penix is waiting in the wings and we have seen London perform like a #1 when the situation has been less than ideal in the past.

Jameis Winston (QB-CLE) - This is a great moment to get Winston for cheap in superflex dynasty leagues as the Browns are laying the groundwork to move on from Deshaun Watson. We saw what Joe Flacco could do in this offense, and that was without the Browns top two tackles, who are still on the mend. Winston could have a similar renaissance later this season.
