Justin Boone Fantasy Analyst Wed, November 4, 2026 at 6:40 PM UTC · 7 min read About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Creating realistic trade offers that lead to a deal being accepted is always challenging. Throughout the season, Justin Boone will be publishing his rest-of-season trade value charts, which you can use as a guide to help make moves and manage your roster.
Below he highlights some of the players you should be buying or selling, before their value shifts in the coming weeks.
It's difficult to generate fantasy hype while playing in this iteration of the Titans offense, which has caused Tate's production to fly under the radar.
Though his fantasy point totals have been limited by a lack of touchdowns (just one through his first seven games), he's seen at last seven targets in four of his last five outings while posting solid stat lines of 6-58-0, 9-145-0, 6-70-1 and 5-69-0 in those contests.
With Tennessee off this week, it's the perfect time to make an offer for the first-rounder before his post-bye rookie bump hits. Tate will also return to a very favorable schedule over the next two months, which features six matchups against teams inside the top 13 for most fantasy points allowed to receivers. That doesn't even include his Week 15 date with a Colts team that appears to have given up on the 2026 season.
Tate has shown more than enough already to be in the conversation as a top-25 fantasy WR the rest of the year — thanks to an assist from that schedule.
Speaking of players on bye who have good schedules in the second half of the season, it's impossible not to get excited about the potential for the Steelers receivers moving forward.
Pittsburgh's wideouts have the No. 1 easiest remaining slate — with the lone exception being a Week 12 date with the Broncos. It's also possible their Week 16 matchup could be a little harder if the Panthers' corners return from injured reserve by then.
Regardless, DK Metcalf will be the one drawing the tougher coverage in most of those games, while Bernard sees increased volume. The rookie will face five of the top-10 easiest fantasy defenses for receivers, as well as another positive opponent in the Bengals who he scored a touchdown against earlier this season.
Michael Pittman Jr. is working towards a return, but if Aaron Rodgers' behavior is any indication (and it often is) the veteran WR is not a preferred target in this offense. After a couple quieter box scores, now is the time to get Bernard at a discount and see if he can get back to fantasy WR3 value down the stretch.
Judkins is coming off his worst fantasy performance of the season, with just 49 scrimmage yards on 13 touches in a blowout loss to the Steelers.
Fortunately for him, the Browns will take on the easiest running back schedule for the remainder of the fantasy calendar, starting this week with a Saints defense that's the most generous opponent to his position.
With Deshaun Watson in concussion protocol and his status for Week 9 up in the air, Cleveland will likely lean on their rushing attack. Dylan Sampson has carved out a role as a pass-catcher, but Judkins is the Browns' unquestioned lead back and a solid fantasy RB2 in plus matchups.
Investing in the Colts' offense right now might seem ridiculous on the surface, but Warren is set for a monster target share the rest of the way. As it stands, he's the fourth most targeted tight end this season, averaging 8.5 targets per contest.
In his first game back since dealing with a groin injury, Warren immediately earned 10 targets in Week 8. He only finished with four catches for 18 yards, but that was against the Jaguars, one of the best teams in the league.
In addition to his friendly matchups with the Cowboys and Dolphins over the next two weeks, Warren also has a nice fantasy playoff schedule with the Titans, Bengals and Browns.
Before Warren got hurt, he was a top-eight fantasy TE on a per game basis, which is likely his floor moving forward. The Colts are in the process of a fire sale, with their top receivers Josh Downs and Keenan Allen rumored to be on the move before the deadline. Warren could end up as the last quality pass-catcher for Indianapolis and the volume alone might make him a top-five fantasy option.
Despite all the injuries and issues in Philadelphia this season, there might be a small window to trade Barkley away for acceptable value.
The former 2,000-yard rusher has found the end zone in back to back games while putting up scrimmage yards totals of 71 and 54. That was enough to make him the RB20 and RB21 those weeks, which is quite the accomplishment since he only played 15% of the snaps in Week 7 and 32% in Week 8.
Another favorable matchup is on the way in a revenge game against the Giants, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Barkley find the end zone again. However, these results aren't sustainable on limited snaps and the Eagles have no reason to push him in a lost year.
There's also the fantasy playoff schedule to consider, where Barkley would encounter the Seahawks (Week 15), Texans (Week 16) and 49ers (Week 17). Capitalize on Barkley's lucky stat lines the last two games and jump off this train before it's too late.
Coker is another player who was fortunate to find the end zone in Week 8, since he only came away with two receptions in the game. The 25-year-old has now managed just three grabs over his past two outings, as the degree of difficulty got turned up on the Panthers' schedule.
Carolina cruised through the first six weeks thanks to a fairly soft slate, but the offense has now failed in each of the past two matchups. It's not going to get any easier against the Broncos in Week 9.
That's not a great sign for a team that has to play the Buccaneers (Week 12), Vikings (Week 13), Steelers (Week 16) and Seahawks (Week 17). The Panthers currently rank inside the top-10 toughest schedules at every fantasy position the rest of the season.
I'd be looking to trade Coker, Tetairoa McMillan and Bryce Young before it gets even worse.
After three straight games where he was held to 55 yards or less, Wilson finally erupted with eight catches, 111 yards and a touchdown, as well as another 17 yards on the ground.
I'm not waiting around to see if he can stay hot. With Wilson playing through two broken ribs and the Cardinals making changes at quarterback, this is a volatile scenario for fantasy.
When you bake in their upcoming schedule against the Seahawks, Rams and Chiefs the next three weeks — it's a situation that could get ugly fast. Package Wilson with another player and cash out immediately.
Kraft has been playing well lately with at least 60 yards or a touchdown in four of his last five appearances. It's excellent production from the tight end position and makes him an easy fantasy TE1 for your lineup.
However, his back to back games with a touchdown came against two of the most favorable defenses for tight ends in the Lions and Panthers. Now, Kraft will have to contend with the most difficult fantasy TE schedule over the next two months, including a brutal next four weeks versus the Patriots, the Vikings, a bye and the Rams.
You might not have another viable tight end option, in which case it makes sense to continue to roll with Kraft and hope for the best. But if you're trying to extract maximum value and build for a fantasy playoff run, this is the time to trade Kraft before his stock declines due to some fierce opposition.
