"Slow start to your fantasy season? It might be the right time to make a trade to get back into it. And the same goes for managers at the top of the standings, because there are multiple sell-high candidates to put on the block before the Week 5 slate of games kicks off. I'm right there, too. In a 12-team league, I need a quarterback -- desperately -- with Joe Burrow sitting in my IR slot."
"Metcalf is a prime sell-high candidate after he dropped a season-best 23.6 points on the Minnesota Vikings defense in Week 4. We saw the big-play juice on his 80-yard catch-and-run score, too. However, over Metcalf's first three games, he averaged just 11.8 PPG. With Aaron Rodgers under center, Metcalf will continue to see fade route targets on the boundary or some scripted shot plays. But this system really leans heavily on quick throws, as Metcalf is averaging only 5.86 air yards per target."
Early-season fantasy managers should consider making trades to improve standings, and top managers should sell high before Week 5. One quarterback is in many leagues' IR, creating demand for quarterbacks. Multiple players are viable trade candidates after Week 4 performances, including a receiver who posted 23.6 points but remains inconsistent. That receiver averaged 11.8 PPG over the first three games, sees limited targets and low air yards per target under Aaron Rodgers, and relies on big plays and touchdowns to deliver fantasy weeks. The market window before Week 5 presents opportunity to flip one-week outbursts into higher-volume assets.
