Last week’s report card had a couple of results I’m happy to point to. Cam Skattebo went from zero touches in Week 6 to 124 rushing yards and a touchdown in Week 7, finishing as the RB10. His trade value has climbed from 13 to 54 in a single week. On the sell side, Jordan Mason returned for the Vikings and out-carried Aaron Jones 15 to 8. Jones finished as the RB55, and his trade value has fallen from 49 to 17. Joe Burrow, who I suggested targeting in a DK Metcalf deal, threw four touchdowns and finished as the QB1. And then there’s Chase Brown, who was the RB31. I’m starting to take that one personally.

Each week this season, I’ll be here to highlight the most notable players to Buy Low or Sell High, using and referencing the powerful tools and data on 4for4.com, including the Trade Evaluator. Don’t make a deal in your league without consulting this tool. Fantasy football managers are a fickle bunch. Sometimes, it only takes one week’s results to make us change how we value a player.

As thrilling as trading can be in fantasy leagues, it can also be really challenging. It’s the one aspect of the game that varies wildly from league to league. Drafting, setting lineups, submitting waiver picks. These are all pretty standard, but not trading. It is dependent on league settings, roster requirements, available players, and even the attitudes of your competitors. That means everything you’re about to read will need to be translated by you to fit your league settings. Do your best to adjust the advice to your own league and then join me for a weekly Discord chat for 4for4 subscribers, talking trades every Wednesday at 11:00 am EST.

As a baseline, this column will assume PPR scoring, passing touchdowns worth four points, and starting rosters with 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, and 1 FLEX, but you can adjust the configurations on the Trade Evaluator tool to fit your league exactly.
