- 1. Malik Nabers WR6 · NYG
A top-7 WR coming off his quietest game in a month. 9.3 PPR on 8 targets in Week 9 after 23.2, 29.1, 28.5 and 18.1 in Weeks 4-7 (the Giants were on bye in Week 8). He draws 29% of the Giants' targets and 33% of their air yards, and the books priced him at 15.9 PPR a game over Weeks 6-9. New York plays Thursday night, so the window is short, and the Giants have the 8th-softest WR playoff schedule on our board.
What to send: a WR2 who outscored him on Sunday, plus a piece.
- 2. Amon-Ra St. Brown WR2 · DET
Our WR2 the rest of the way, with no touchdown since Week 3. Five touchdowns in Weeks 1-3, none in the five games since, and the volume never left: 10.2 targets, 7.6 catches and 88 yards a game over that stretch, with 9 red-zone targets. That is 16.4 PPR a game since Week 4, and the ribs that had him questionable in Week 9 (he played: 8 for 86) give his manager a second reason to sell. He draws 32% of Detroit's targets, and the books have him at 19.6 PPR a game the rest of the way; for Week 10 they set him at 78.5 receiving yards and close to a coin flip to score.
What to send: a WR who has scored more lately but ranks below him on our board, plus a piece.
Caution: Detroit's WR playoff schedule is below average on our board (25th), mostly Week 17 at Chicago.
- 3. Parker Washington WR13 · JAX
High-end WR2, with Dallas and Washington in the fantasy semifinals and finals. Jacksonville's No. 1 target: 22% of the targets and 33% of the air yards, 14.6 PPR a game over his last four and 14.1 in Week 9. The books priced him at 14.8 a game over Weeks 6-9. Jacksonville has the softest WR playoff schedule on our board: at Houston, at Dallas and vs Washington in Weeks 15-17.
What to send: a WR3 or flex piece with a better last two.
- 4. Drake London WR10 · ATL
WR1 usage and a top-6 price from the books, with one touchdown on 67 targets. The books priced him WR6 over Weeks 6-9 (18.0 PPR a game); he has scored 13.5 a game (WR22) and 11.3 over his last four. He draws 28% of Atlanta's targets and 38% of its air yards on 92% of the snaps, and he scored 16.8 and 16.5 a game the last two seasons. Atlanta has the 6th-softest WR playoff schedule on our board.
What to send: a WR who has outscored him this year but ranks below him on our board.
Caution: Atlanta's quarterback play is the risk, not his role.
- 5. George Kittle TE3 · SF
A top-2 TE price from the books every week, behind a TE4 box score. The books priced him at 17.4 PPR a game over Weeks 6-9 (TE2); he has scored 14.3 (TE4) and 12.5 over his last four, with 9.8 in Week 9. He plays 91% of the snaps and drew 28% of San Francisco's targets over the last three games, and Mike Evans (ribs, Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring) both missed Week 9. He scored 14.7 a game in 2025 and 15.8 in 2024.
What to send: a TE who has scored more this year, plus a bench piece.
Caution: San Francisco's TE playoff schedule is below average on our board (20th).
- 6. Kyren Williams RB8 · LA
An RB5 price from the books, behind a 12.4-point last four. The books priced him at 17.8 PPR a game over Weeks 6-9 (RB5) and still at 16.8 for Week 9; he scored 9.1 on Sunday and 12.4 a game over his last four as Blake Corum's role grew. He still gets 14.1 carries and 5.1 targets a game, and he scored 17.0 and 15.5 a game the last two seasons.
What to send: an RB2 who has scored more over the last month.
Caution: Blake Corum has scored 14.1 a game over his last four, and the Rams' RB playoff schedule is below average on our board (26th). The split is the risk.
- 7. Emeka Egbuka WR28 · TB
High-end WR3. When he and Baker Mayfield are healthy, he is a weekly WR2. He came back from his foot injury in Week 9 (6.9 PPR, his first game since Week 6) and Tampa Bay is on bye in Week 10, so his manager is still waiting on him. He draws about 30% of the targets and 36% of the air yards when he plays, and Tampa Bay has the 4th-softest WR playoff schedule on our board.
What to send: a WR3 who is playing now.
- 8. Carnell Tate WR21 · TEN
WR2 from Week 11 on, healthy after the bye. He missed Weeks 7 and 8 with a shoulder injury and Tennessee was on bye in Week 9, so his manager has gone three weeks without him. Healthy, he draws 23% of the targets and 45% of the air yards. Weeks 14-17: at Detroit, vs Indianapolis, at Las Vegas, vs Pittsburgh.
What to send: a WR3 you need less from Week 11 on.
Caution: Check the shoulder at practice this week.
- 9. Isaiah Likely TE5 · NYG
TE5 on our board, with top-3 TE scoring. 16.1 PPR a game (TE3) and 18.9 over his last four on 21% of the Giants' targets, and the books priced him TE4 over Weeks 6-9 (12.7 a game). His managers remember 5.1 and 8.2 a game the last two seasons; his role is bigger now. The Giants play Thursday night.
What to send: a TE scoring less this year, plus a bench piece.
- 10. Davante Adams WR66 · LA
WR2 when healthy, and he should be back for the fantasy playoffs. On injured reserve with a ruptured hamstring (expected to miss six to eight weeks), so his manager gets nothing from him now. He scored 17.0 PPR a game in six games before the injury.
What to send: a bench WR or a WR3 you will not need after Week 14.
- 11. Trevor Lawrence QB7 · JAX
A top-7 QB with one of the softest playoff schedules. 18.4 PPR a game and 20.5 over his last four, and the books priced him at 18.0 over Weeks 6-9. Jacksonville has the 2nd-softest QB playoff schedule on our board (at Houston, at Dallas, vs Washington), and the 2nd-softest in Weeks 16-17.
What to send: a QB scoring about as much with a tougher schedule left.
- 12. Ladd McConkey WR31 · LAC
Flex play, and the sentiment on him is way down. Back spasms kept him off the stat sheet in Week 9 and he has scored 6.5 PPR a game over his last four, so his managers are out on him. He scored 15.1 a game in 2024 and 11.3 in 2025, and the books still priced him at 11.3 over Weeks 6-9.
What to send: a bench WR or a flex piece.
Caution: Day-to-day with his back: check practice before you pay anything.
64 trade targets listed Weeks 2-10, graded through Week 9. 38 have scored more PPR a game since we listed them (average change +2.3), and 28 have finished top-12 at their position since. Of the 26 scoring less, 11 got hurt (or lost their quarterback to injury) and 7 were bench flyers we told you to get for a bench piece: 8 healthy misses on players priced as starters or better. Best finishes since:
