For many fantasy football leagues, the trade deadline is approaching in Week 11, giving contenders the chance to upgrade beyond the waiver wire.
We’ve already given you the guide to some names you should target if you’re a buyer. If you’re selling or looking to upgrade by selling high? This list is for you. We’ve used strength of schedule (a hat tip to the folks at FantasyPros for their great SoS guide) along with other factors.
The result? We found some quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers for you to to trade away. Obviously, this all depends on where you’re at in the standings, whether you’re in a dynasty league and so forth, but let’s dive in anyway:
1
RB Josh Jacobs, Las Vegas Raiders
He’s sort of become like Antonio Gibson — touchdown dependent, although some receiving volume is there. His upcoming schedule includes matchups against the Bengals, Cowboys, Washington, Chiefs and Browns.
An RB-needy team might be enticed by the touchdowns, right?

This is always a fun one: If you’ve got Chuba Hubbard? Work out a deal with the person who has Christian McCaffrey. Darrel Williams? The one with Clyde Edwards-Helaire might be interested. You get the idea.

WR Marquise Brown, Baltimore Ravens
This isn’t about the remaining schedule, but the presence of Rashod Bateman. The rookie has 16 targets in his past two games, and while Brown has been a target monster with 25 in those past two contests, you could roll the dice on Batemen’s role expanding down the stretch.

WR Odell Beckham Jr., Los Angeles Rams
Does it count as selling high when Beckham didn’t play much against the Niners? I say yes, and here’s why: With Robert Woods out, Beckham’s stock has never been higher. My theory: Not only is the remaining schedule tough (including a bye this week), but Cooper Kupp will keep up the unreal season and Van Jefferson’s presence will cut into Beckham’s workload.

QB Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills

He’s got the Colts, Saints, Pats twice and Bucs on his remaining schedule. I worry he’s not rushing like he was last year, so maybe the fact that he’s a big name will help get a good return.

WR DeAndre Hopkins, Arizona Cardinals
Again, not sure if it’s a huge sell high given his injury. But my thought, besides a tough schedule and an upcoming bye, is that you can argue he’ll be good when he returns, when the reality is that the yardage may stay low in the Cardinals’ stacked receiving corps.
