SELL HIGH
Dak Prescott (QB-DAL), Javonte Williams (RB-DAL) - The Cowboys have one favorable defensive matchup left on their schedule: Tennessee in Week 11, then they face Philadelphia, Seattle, the Rams, Jacksonville, and the Giants, with a Week 14 bye. Prescott has only put up big numbers against the bottom-dwelling Colts and Commanders pass defenses, plus a Texans pass defense that was very leaky early in the season. We've seen Williams limited to 13, 14, and 17 touches in losses when the Cowboys scored 20 or fewer points. He scored in every one of those losses, or he would have been a lineup killer. Touchdown luck might not break in Williams favor going forward. Try to get away from this duo in redraft leagues before the game against the resurgent 49ers defense this week.
Chris Olave (WR-NO) - Olave is a very, very good wide receiver, and he earned his four-year, $124 million deal. Is he a fantasy #1 receiver with Jordyn Tyson healthy now? Olave has been heavily targeted by Shough so far, but he has failed to notch over 47 receiving yards in four of the last five games, and he got fewer than 10 targets from Shough. Tyson got five targets on only 18 snaps last week. If you can use Olave as the main piece in a trade for a WR1 on the rise like Luther Burden III or an undervalued WR1 like Zay Flowers, don't hesitate.
Trey McBride (TE-ARI) - McBride is a hold in dynasty, although he's not going to help teams over the finish line with the Cardinals down to journeymen and a fifth-round rookie at wide receiver and a third-round rookie at quarterback. The line is also in shambles. McBride should get plenty of targets since he is the only viable pass-catcher on the field, but turning those into catches and yards could be a challenge since he is the only viable pass-catcher on the field.
BUY LOW
Caleb Williams (QB-CHI), Kyle Monangai (RB-CHI), Rome Odunze (WR-CHI) - Just another reminder to target a piece of the Bears offense that fantasy leagues are underestimating. The Bears' schedule's main pitfall is the potential for winter weather, with four of their five games between Weeks 13-17 in Chicago or Buffalo, though Williams and playcaller Ben Johnson seemed undaunted by winter conditions last season. Monangai should be back after the bye, and he will be fresh and hopefully healed after sitting since Week 5 with turf toe. He was running hot before going down, relegating D'Andre Swift to the bench in the second half of a win over the Jets after yet another fumble and goal-line zonk from Swift. He could be the more valuable Bears running back in the second half of the season. Odunze has been productive with four catches for at least 60 yards in each of the last three games, even though he has only gotten 18 targets. The Bears' top downfield target has the potential for even bigger plays, with Monangai reviving a running game that went into hibernation without him.
Bo Nix (QB-DEN) - Nix has found his game since a 62-yard touchdown run against the Cardinals in Week 7. He just got Pat Bryant back, and Jaylen Waddle should be back from his concussion after the bye. We haven't seen the confident version of Nix with all of his top wide receivers and Sean Payton calling plays yet this season. It should be fun to watch with Nix as your QB1, with only the Steelers in Week 12 presenting a less-than-favorable matchup for the Broncos, with the Raiders twice and the entire AFC East comprising the rest of their schedule between now and Week 17.
Jacoby Brissett (QB-BAL), Zay Flowers (WR-BAL), Derrick Henry (RB-BAL) - Brissett will bring the total number of teams he has started for in his career to six on Monday night, so he has run a lot of different systems in his time. He should be able to harness some of the advantage that offensive coordinator Declan Doyle creates with play designs and the talented Flowers and Henry anchoring the passing and running games. The scripted drives for Tyler Huntley and a banged-up Joe Fagnano showed off Doyle's creativity and resourcefulness, and he has a quarterback who should understand the why and how of his play designs until Lamar Jackson comes back.
DJ Moore (WR-BUF) - Moore and the rest of the Bills' passing game were predictably held in check by the Vikings, but he was open on a deep ball to the end zone that hung up for just an instant too long, so Byron Murphy II was able to intercept the ball before it fell into Moore's waiting hands. The Bills must feel comfortable with the condition of Moore's twice-injured shoulder - they have given him a rushing attempt in each of his first two games back - and we could see him targeted more frequently than the mere 12 he got in his first two games back. He could be a fantasy WR1 from here on out as long as that shoulder holds up.
Caleb Douglas (WR-MIA) - Don't assume Douglas will be hurt by the loss of Malik Willis to injured reserve with a core muscle injury, even though Willis was at his best when he threw to Douglas. New Dolphins quarterback Kyle McCord isn't afraid to let it rip downfield down the sidelines, and he gets the ball out on time to receivers who are on the move in the middle of the field to set up big yards after catch opportunities. Some also believe Lamar Jackson could return to South Florida next year. It's time to buy Douglas in dynasty and maybe Chris Bell too.
Chimere Dike (WR-TEN) - The Titans have been reluctant to make Dike a starter so far in his two years, but when he gets extended time on the field with Cam Ward, he's been productive, including a 5-71-1 game in Week 8. Dike had 12 or more PPR points in five of ten games where he was on the field more than half the time from Week 7 on last season, and Carnell Tate is likely to miss this week with the shoulder injury that kept him out in Week 8 before the bye. Dike is on the waiver wire in most dynasty leagues, but he shouldn't be.
