Fantasy Football: Buy Chris Olave, Sell Ashton Jeanty
Experts recommend buying Chris Olave and selling Ashton Jeanty ahead of Week 8.
The Brief
- Chris Olave is a buy-low candidate due to recent performance and potential matchups.
- Ashton Jeanty faces health concerns and a tough schedule, making him a sell-high option.
- A.J. Brown and Jordan Mason are highlighted as potential trade targets.
Chris Olave, a wide receiver for the Saints, has shown inconsistent performance recently, dropping from WR4 to WR29 in fantasy points per game. His recent average of over seven targets per game against tough opponents suggests a potential floor. With the Saints on a bye week and Jordyn Tyson rumored to be returning soon, Olave's value may be undervalued.
A.J. Brown, a wide receiver for the Patriots, has had a poor recent performance, with drops and low reception numbers. However, he has led the team in several key metrics and faces an easier schedule in the coming weeks. His performance may improve as he regains form and the Patriots' schedule becomes more favorable.
Jordan Mason, a running back for the Vikings, has shown promise with a high snap and rush share in his return. With Aaron Jones sidelined due to injury, Mason could see increased playing time and face an easier schedule, making him a potential trade target for fantasy managers.
Ashton Jeanty, a running back for the Raiders, has underperformed despite being a top fantasy player. He has struggled with a right ankle sprain and has a low yards-per-carry average. With the Raiders' offense struggling and potential changes in the backfield, Jeanty's fantasy value is in question.
Tony Pollard, a running back for the Titans, had a strong performance in Week 7 but faces a difficult schedule in the coming weeks. His upcoming matchups against the Bengals and Jaguars are unfavorable for running backs, making him a sell-high candidate.
Jameson Williams, a wide receiver for the Lions, has had a strong recent performance but faces a tough schedule moving forward. The Lions' remaining matchups include games against the Vikings, which are challenging for opposing offenses, making Williams a risky hold.
