Fantasy Football Trader's Alley Week 10: Players to Buy, Hold, or Sell
Welcome to the Week 10 edition of Trader's Alley! I'm your weekly tour guide on the bumpy ride that is trading in fantasy football leagues, here to highlight the most notable Buys, Holds, and Sells each week, powered by 4for4's powerful Trade Evaluator tool.
This column assumes half-PPR, four-point passing touchdowns, and starting rosters with 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, and 1 FLEX — but you can also change the configurations on the Trade Evaluator tool to fit your league exactly.
Let's get into it.
Buy Bucky Irving
Trade Evaluator: RB18 / 31st overall / 100 Trade Value points
When Bucky Irving went out with an injury a little over a month ago, the Buccaneers declined to send him to IR, presumably to get him back in Week 10 off the Week 9 bye. While we haven’t heard any updates on that front as I write this, that should be the expectation, which means Irving will be back in the RB1 conversation very soon. Through the first four weeks, Irving was tied with Jonathan Taylor and Josh Jacobs for third-most touches in the league and was the RB10 overall despite scoring zero rushing touchdowns (he scored two as a receiver).
In his last game, he put together a dazzling 102 yards and a touchdown on five catches (alongside 15 carries for 63 yards). The Tampa Bay offense may not be quite as dominant with Mike Evans out for the year and Chris Godwin consistently sidelined, but they need Irving and his contributions in the run game, and will rely heavily on him in his return. If you can get him for anything resembling an RB2 price, the Bucs back could be a league-winner down the stretch with an unquestioned RB1 workload.
