SELL HIGH

Kirk Cousins (QB-LV) - The Raiders are 4-4 with the 49ers, Seahawks, and Broncos up the next three weeks. It doesn't make much sense for the Raiders to keep starting Cousins if they are 4-7 after losing all three games. His surprising usefulness in 2QB/Superflex leagues will diminish quickly unless he shockingly gets traded to the Vikings. See who needs a quarterback in 2QB/Superflex dynasty leagues and try to get a pick out of them for Cousins unless you are a contender and feel like your quarterback depth is shaky.

Ladd McConkey (WR-LAC) - It looks like McConkey bounced back with a 4-86 line last week, but 54 yards of that came on a hail mary he caught at the one-yard line. This passing game is going nowhere fast, and McConkey has been limited by injuries as much as he has been healthy so far in his three seasons. McConkey probably still has more name value than he should because of our fetish about young #1 wide receivers in dynasty leagues, but after the hiring of Mike McDaniel raised expectations, there is no clear path for McConkey to get into his top-end range of outcomes unless the Chargers make significant changes and McConkey figures out how to stay on the field.

BUY HIGH

Bo Nix (QB-DEN) - Nix looks confident as a runner and passer outside of the pocket, which sets him up for a big second half of the season against a schedule that only has two matchups against decent pass defenses - Week 12 at Pittsburgh and Week 17 at New England. Jaylen Waddle is warming up, Pat Bryant could be back this week, Jonah Coleman has revived the running game, and Sean Payton should be able to go back into his playcaller bag of tricks with an emboldened quarterback.
