With eight weeks behind us, the fantasy football season is getting serious. It’s time to make a move that could put your team into the playoffs or even the championship game.

As we enter Week 9, we have another 12 players who should be on the move. Remember, these trade suggestions are for the remainder of the season, not just Week 9.

Trade Bait (Sell High)

Quarterbacks

Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers: For some reason it’s tough to imagine Big Ben going for 522 yards and six touchdowns again anytime soon. Maybe it’s because he almost broke the NFL single-game passing yards record, or maybe he’s just not elite. Either way, his value will be soaring after a historically good game, meaning it’s time to sell.

Running Backs

Chris Ivory, New York Jets: If his 16-point outing had you thinking Ivory is a legitimate candidate to start at RB, think again. He is still a touchdown-dependent RB who happened to get two last week. Outside of that, he only had 43 yards on 13 carries (barely over three yards per carry) and isn’t getting enough consistent work to warrant starting him.

Wide Receivers

Brandin Cooks, New Orleans Saints: Cooks leads a trio of rookie WRs we don’t believe in after big games on Sunday. Cure, Cooks finally flashed those skills we’ve been salivating over for months to the tune of 21 points. But he has yet to get a consistent workload and needed two scores to break double-digit points this week. If you can convince someone that he’s going to only get better with Jimmy Graham back on the field, it’s time to sell.

Donte Moncrief, Indianapolis Colts: Moncrief is one of the most popular waiver wire adds this week after breaking out this week with 113 yards and a touchdown. He’s barely gotten any work to this point in the season, and he likely won’t get much more after this week. He was merely a product of a shootout that amassed 85 points between the Colts and Steelers. However, if you can make the argument that he’s finally garnered Andrew Luck’s attention, you could get some value for him.

Martavis Bryant, Pittsburgh Steelers: Another product of that 85-point track meet, Bryant caught two touchdowns in addition to his 83 yards. Sure, Bryant is a great red zone threat and can provide a spark every few weeks, but he had relevance this week for the sole reason that Big Ben had the game of his life. Don’t expect this trend to continue.

Tight Ends

Tim Wright, New England Patriots: Ever since the Patriots redefined the TE position with Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, being a TE for the Pats has raised players’ fantasy values. Wright is one of a long line of New England TE2s whose value gets inflated once they have one good game. Wright had that game this week, so it’s time to sell high on him.

Trade Prey (Buy Low)

Quarterbacks

Carson Palmer, Arizona Cardinals: Palmer is back on this list after we told you to snag him last week. He put up a very respectable 21 points this week against the Eagles and made strides in getting his mojo back with veteran WR Larry Fitzgerald. He still isn’t going to be a starter every week, but Palmer is a very good QB2 who is only owned in 14.7 percent of leagues. Go get him.

Running Backs

Ronnie Hillman, Denver Broncos: Hillman is back on this list again after stringing together his third game of double-digit fantasy points. He’s been among the best RBs in fantasy since taking over as Denver’s starter. He’s looking more and more like Knowshon Moreno 2.0, meaning he’s going to be worth trading for until people realize his value.

Mark Ingram, New Orleans Saints: Welcome back, Marky Mark. Ingram had 24 carries for 172 yards and a score this week for 23 points.  After averaging 17.0 points through the first two weeks, Ingram looked like a stud. Now that he’s healthy again, he should still be considered one.

Wide Receivers

Allen Robinson, Jacksonville Jaguars: Robinson is the only Jaguars player worth owning at this point, and he’s been consistently seeing enough action to be fantasy relevant since Blake Bortles took over at QB. Now that he’s starting finding the end zone as well, he’s a legitimate WR3 with a much higher ceiling. He’s a must-own, and yet he’s available in 93.8 percent of leagues.

Brandon Lafell, New England Patriots: It’s tough to go back on advising you to sell high on Lafell four weeks ago, but he seems to be legit. While he’s still very inconsistent and might not be worth starting every week, he’s been playing well as of late and could be worth a spot start or two. He’s only owned in 22.3 percent of leagues as well, meaning it’s worth a roster spot to add him to your team.

Tight Ends

Jimmy Graham: It feels weird saying that Graham’s value is too low, but at this point it is. He’s coming off an injury and is still listed as questionable. But even through that lingering injury, he went for 59 yards and a touchdown last week. Once he’s healthy, Graham will be the first round pick that most people thought he would be at the beginning of the season. Grab him now while his value is considerably lower than that.

Week 9 is here. For me that means only 5 weeks left in the season. Unless my league is somehow some kind of oddball, you probably only have 5 weeks to go as well. 

How’s it looking? Riding high or squeaking bye?

5 weeks is a chance for 5 wins. Fantasy football is a week by week game. Roll off 3 of the next 5, 4 of the next 5 and unless you have 1 or 2 wins and the leader is rocking it at 6-1, calm down.

I lost the first 3 games of my season and have just completed a 5 game monster win streak.  You can too with a with a smart trade or a clutch wire pickup.

Let’s analyze some moves that will keep your hopes alive to get in the playoff.

Bye weeks are here meaning some big dogs are off the board. Depending on your match this week some of your beasts could be sleeping this week but that also means some of your opponents big guns could be of no use as well.

Forte, Rogers, Tate, some heavy hitters are not available. Depending on your situation and how dire the need is for a win, trading a monster like Forte might be a gamble you must take.

I realize trading a player that has to be like 40% of a team’s offense is not a move that you might even think to make, but there are only 5 games left and if you need to win the majority of them , maybe trading a big hunk of chocolate cake for 2 slightly pieces might be the move here.

Forte for Ingram coming off a monster game playing a Panthers team that is allowing some rushing yards and Kelvin Benjamin playing against a Saints defense that has been anything but stellar this year.. Benjamin is averaging 10.5 points a game while Ingram is coming of missing 4 weeks but averaging 15.5 in the four games he has played.  Forte is averaging 18 points a game.

Not a bad deal huh? The point here is that thinking outside of the box here is going to pay off. Think about it, Forte can’t help you this week. You lose another game and then you are left with only 4 games left to play and if the dudes ahead of you win this week, you are that much further in the hole and that dirt gets heavy fast.

Crunch some numbers, look at who is an absolute beast on your team and try and cash that beast in for 2 semi beasts that can get you a crucial win this week. Crunch the numbers people and don’t be afraid to move a beast.

It’s Week 8 of the fantasy football season, and things are starting to get real. If you’re trying to maintain your strong start, make a playoff push or shock the world and come from behind to make the postseason, we’ve got the trades to help you do it.

Remember, these trades can help you in Week 8, but they are really supposed to help you for the rest of the year.

Trade Bait (Sell High)

Quarterbacks

Tom Brady: We told you last week that Brady would be back in this spot after predicting he would pick apart a weak Jets’ secondary. Well, we were right. He dropped another 22 points, giving him 20 or more points in three straight games. But that’s less a product of Brady getting his groove back, and more a product of a few suspect secondaries. Keep in mind that he scored 35 points combined in the first four weeks of the season. Also, bear in mind that he has the fourth-hardest remaining schedule among fantasy QBs. He should still be valued as a mid-to-low QB2.

Running Backs

Shane Vereen, New England Patriots: Vereen’s 23-point explosion is certainly going to confirm some owners’ belief that he is a borderline RB1 now that Stevan Ridley is hurt, but he’s back in this spot because that isn’t the case. Vereen ran the ball 11 times for just 43 yards. He isn’t going to get you a lot of points on the ground because he can’t run between the tackles and pick up short yardage. Instead, 19 of his points came through their air on five catches. In fact, if he doesn’t catch his two touchdowns, he’s barely over his previous season average of 5.8 points per game. He remains a RB3 despite his performance.

Wide Receivers

Doug Baldwin, Seattle Seahawks: ‘Percy Harvin’s gone.’ ‘Baldwin is the WR1 in Seattle.’ ‘The Seahawks are throwing more than ever.’ There are all kinds of reasons to think that Baldwin’s performance this week could continue for the rest of the year. The only problem is that none of them are very good. The Seahawks remain a run-first team, and Baldwin’s 18-point game is more a product of the fact that the Seahawks were trailing for most of the game. This week was just the second time all year Russell Wilson threw the ball 30 times or more. Baldwin’s production will remain spotty and inconsistent despite the reasons to believe in him.

Odell Beckham Jr., New York Giants: What did ODB do in his first game as the Giants’ lead WR? Not as much as you’d think. Sure, he caught two touchdowns, but he only had four catches for 34 yards on six targets (all three of which were third among Giants pass-catchers this week). Sure, he got the red zone work this week. But last week it was Rueben Randle and two weeks before that it was Larry Donnell. If he’s catching touchdowns, he has value. But good luck trying to pick the games the Giants will try to get him the ball near the goal line.

Tight Ends

Gavin Escobar, Dallas Cowboys: If having three touchdowns in two weeks makes Escobar seem like an attractive pickup to you, you’re in trouble. He isn’t seeing nearly the volume of targets necessary to continue his two-game streak, and should still be considered irrelevant in fantasy.

Trade Prey (Buy Low)

Quarterbacks

Carson Palmer, Arizona Cardinals: In the QB section of Trade Bait, we told you to sell high on Tom Brady. That’s because he’s owned in 99.7 percent of standard ESPN leagues and has his value at what could easily be his peak of the season. The guy you should be looking to replace him could be on waivers—it’s Palmer, whose outlook is just as good as—if not better than—Brady’s. But Palmer is only owned in 9.6 percent of leagues. He’s got much more value than people are giving him.

Running Backs

Ronnie Hillman, Denver Broncos: It looks like the Broncos finally found a RB that can rack up yardage and punch in scores on a consistent basis. Even when Montee Ball returns, his production hasn’t been anything close to that of Hillman’s over the past two-and-a-half games. Don’t be surprised if Hillman turns into Knowshon Moreno 2.0.

Bryce Brown, Buffalo Bills: With Fred Jackson out for up to a month and C.J. Spiller on short-term IR, Brown becomes a huge factor in one of the most potent rushing attacks in the NFL. His only competition for touches is now Anthony Dixon, who’s never run for more than 60 yards in a game. Brown will also replace Spiller as the speed back even when Jackson returns, meaning he has some long-term value. Brown is also bigger and faster than Spiller, meaning he has the potential to do big things under his new role.

Jerick McKinnon, Minnesota Vikings: McKinnon is an athletic, explosive young RB who proved that he can thrive against some of the toughest run defenses in the NFL last week. He gave the Bills all kinds of problems despite the fact that the Bills came into the game as the best fantasy defense against RBs this year. McKinnon broke 100 yards against a stingy run defense and should continue to see plenty of work in Minnesota. He’s a sneaky pickup or trade at this point.

Wide Receivers

Mohamed Sanu, Cincinnati Bengals: Sanu is coming off his worst game of the year, but the opportunity was there for it to be much better. He caught only three of the nine balls thrown his way, meaning he—like every other Bengals player—just had a bad game. He’ll be back to legitimate WR2 status next week.

Tight Ends

Julius Thomas, Denver Broncos: If there’s ever a time to trade for the best TE in the game, it’s now. He’s coming off his worst game of the season by far despite the Broncos putting up 42 points this week. If his owner is willing to trade him for a couple of FLEX players, this is the time to do it.

It’s Week 8 of the fantasy football season, and things are starting to get real. If you’re trying to maintain your strong start, make a playoff push or shock the world and come from behind to make the postseason, we’ve got the trades to help you do it.

What the Cowboys did week 6 in Seattle was more than beat the Seahawks at home, they deflated the magic balloon that surrounded them. THEY ARE BEATABLE. Take that in, accept it and realize the defense you drafted maybe in the 6th, 7th, 8th round is not what you thought you were getting. The Seahawks as a defensive/special teams unit has scored a total of 17 points.

Week 1 - 8

Week 2 - -3

Week 3 - 5

Week 4 - Bye

Week 5 - 2

Week 6 - 9

Week 7 - -4

17 whopping points. That breaks down to less then 3 points per week from the once legion of boom. 

There are 18 defenses available on my waiver wire. Two of them, one of which was on bye week 7 leaving only one team that scored less points then the Seattle Seahawks in week 7. Read that again if need be and soak it up. 18 teams available, 16 defenses scored more points than the Seahawks week 7. Any other position, any other defense and the answer is a swift drop. No questions asked, drop. Not the Seahawks though at least not for me. If I drop the Hawks, one of the 9 other teams in my league will pick up them up no doubt in my mind. If that's the case then I have to think trade. 

What's the value of the Seattle Seahawks defense? Anything? A little something? Do I need to package something in to get something back? How about Seattle defense and Jordan Mathews for Darren McFadden?

McFadden’s line is 1,12,5,7,bye,8,10.  A tad over 7 points a week average. 

Seattle let's call it 3 points a week for easy sake. Mathews 3,1,17,2,3,5 for an average of 5. 

Looks like Seattle + 3 and Mathews + 5 for McFadden +7 is a pretty fair deal. 

What if Seattle gets it together though? They play at SF week 13, at Philadelphia week 14, back home for SF week 15, at AriZona week 16 finishing with St. Louis at home. That's nasty. Listen to me know, put out a couple feelers on Seattle straight up for something or package with someone and get away from the Seahawks. Make a trade fast. 

Become a defensive streamer. Grab the Colts and actually score some points from your defense. Hope that the other owners in your league haven’t' read this ( I'm almost positive no one has) and make a move, NOW.

We’re back with 13 new fantasy football players that you should be trading for or trading away for Week 7 and beyond.

As always, the players who are considered trade bait are the ones you should be trading away, while the ones who are trade prey are the players you should be looking into acquiring.

With that, let’s take a closer look at who should be on the move this week.

Trade Bait (Sell High)

Quarterbacks

Tom Brady: Tom Terrific had a great game on Sunday, but he’s by no means back in the conversation to be an elite fantasy QB—he probably isn’t even a QB1. Brady has always picked the Bills apart (he’s 23-2 against them in his career), so seeing him drop 30 on them shouldn’t change your opinion of him much. If you want to wait a week until after he plays the hapless Jets secondary, that’s fine. But make sure you don’t fall in love with TB12 again. It isn’t 2007.

Running Backs

Arian Foster, Houston Texans: Foster proved me wrong last week with another 25-point performance. But the fact remains that he is old and wearing down. Odds are, Foster won’t be able to handle 20-plus carries every week and stay healthy. He’s going to help you in the regular season, but it would be surprising to see him healthy when the playoffs start (which is much more important). That’s why he’s in this spot for a second straight week. If you can trade him for a Matt Forte or Gio Bernard, both of those guys have more lasting value.

Branden Oliver, San Diego Chargers: Oliver is back on this list for a second week. He had another big game as San Diego’s featured back, but the fact still remains that he won’t have this role for long. Mathews is still San Diego’s No. 1 RB, and whenever he returns to the field you can expect Oliver to return to fantasy irrelevance.

Shane Vereen, New England Patriots: Stevan Ridley’s injury may seem like a good thing for Vereen, but it probably won’t change much. Vereen isn’t a guy who can shoulder 20 touches per game and run between the tackles. That role will probably be available for another one of New England’s backs, raising their value instead. If, however, you can convince another owner that Vereen will be ‘the guy’ in New England now, he’ll have a huge boost in his trade value this week.

Wide Receivers

T.Y. Hilton, Indianapolis Colts: Unsurprisingly, Hilton broke out in NRG Stadium (formerly Reliant Stadium). Hilton is a burner whose speed is best used on turf fields and in indoor stadiums. He’s always been better in those situations, and continuing that trend shouldn’t be surprising. On the other hand, that trend isn’t well known, and you should be able to convince another owner in your league that Hilton’s current rank as the No. 7 fantasy WR is legit, he’ll have much more value than he should.

Torrey Smith, Baltimore Ravens: Smith’s value is peaking, as he’s caught three touchdown passes in the last three weeks. But bear in mind, Smith isn’t the type of guy who can reach double-digit touchdowns on the year because he is only 6’0”. What’s more important to Smith is his yardage, and those numbers have been pitiful. He has yet to go over four receptions and 53 yards in any given game, showing how much he’s been relying on touchdowns. Once his scoring numbers go down, so will his fantasy value.

Tight Ends

Jordan Cameron, Cleveland Browns: Going into the year, Cameron was expected to be one of the guys who could compete with the Big 3 TEs for an elite ranking at the position. So far, Cameron has struggled, but he went for over 100 yards and scored his first touchdown of the year this week. He could’ve had another touchdown too if Brian Hoyer hadn’t underthrown him. But the problem with Cameron is the offense Cleveland is running. The team isn’t throwing the ball, and Hoyer isn’t exactly an elite QB. Cameron still hasn’t had more than three catches in a game and only went over 50 yards once. Don’t let his big game fool you, he’s still not worth starting on a weekly basis.

Trade Prey (Buy Low)

Quarterbacks

Carson Palmer, Arizona Cardinals: Palmer made his way back into the lineup this week to the tune of 250 yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers. He posted a solid performance with 18 fantasy points, and that’s without playing or practicing with his WRs for several weeks. He’s only going to get better as he develops more chemistry with them once again. He should be considered a solid QB2 now that he’s healthy.

Running Backs

Justin Forsett, Baltimore Ravens: We’ve been advocating Forsett as the RB to own in Baltimore for several weeks now, and he keeps making us look good. He’s currently the NFL’s leader in yards per carry among qualifiers, which shouldn’t come as a surprise considering that over 10 percent of his carries have gone for 20 yards or more. He’s clearly better than his teammates in the Ravens’ backfield and should continue to be a solid RB2.

Fred Jackson, Buffalo Bills: The oldest RB in the NFL just keeps running. Jackson has averaged 11.0 points per game over his last four and has been as consistent as any RB in fantasy. The Bills continue to run the ball enough to support two RBs, but Jackson has been much more consistent than Spiller. He’s a solid RB2 at this point, but his value is considered to be much lower than that.

Wide Receivers

Sammy Watkins, Buffalo Bills: Watkins was in this position last week as well, but this will likely be the last week you can buy Watkins for a discounted price. Manuel is out and Orton is in, which is great news for Watkins owners. He might have struggled last week, but so did the rest of the Bills. Don’t freak out because the rookie was shut down by one of the best cornerbacks in the game. He’ll play the Vikings this week and a hapless Jets secondary next week before a bye. Expect Watkins to start producing WR2 numbers starting this week.

Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd, Arizona Cardinals: Carson Palmer’s return gives a huge boost to everyone on Arizona’s offense, but nowhere will the improvement be seen more than in Palmer’s top two WRs. Fitz and Floyd are clearly better when they’re working with Palmer, and now that their QB is back and healthy it’s only a matter of time until they both get back to high-end WR2 status.

Tight Ends

Jace Amaro, New York Jets: Well hello there, Jace. The Jets’ rookie TE broke out in a big way on Sunday, racking up 10 receptions for 68 yards and a score. He’s now had at least 50 yards in three of his last four games and is starting to look like the offensive weapon the Jets so desperately need. Now that he’ll be playing against a Patriots team that is without linebacker Jerod Mayo, Amaro could stay hot this week and is worth picking up or trading for.

We’re back with 13 new fantasy football players that you should be trading for or trading away for Week 7 and beyond.

As always, the players who are considered trade bait are the ones you should be trading away, while the ones who are trade prey are the players you should be looking into acquiring.

With that, let’s take a closer look at who should be on the move this week.

Trade Bait (Sell High)

Quarterbacks

Tom Brady: Tom Terrific had a great game on Sunday, but he’s by no means back in the conversation to be an elite fantasy QB—he probably isn’t even a QB1. Brady has always picked the Bills apart (he’s 23-2 against them in his career), so seeing him drop 30 on them shouldn’t change your opinion of him much. If you want to wait a week until after he plays the hapless Jets secondary, that’s fine. But make sure you don’t fall in love with TB12 again. It isn’t 2007.

Running Backs

Arian Foster, Houston Texans: Foster proved me wrong last week with another 25-point performance. But the fact remains that he is old and wearing down. Odds are, Foster won’t be able to handle 20-plus carries every week and stay healthy. He’s going to help you in the regular season, but it would be surprising to see him healthy when the playoffs start (which is much more important). That’s why he’s in this spot for a second straight week. If you can trade him for a Matt Forte or Gio Bernard, both of those guys have more lasting value.

Branden Oliver, San Diego Chargers: Oliver is back on this list for a second week. He had another big game as San Diego’s featured back, but the fact still remains that he won’t have this role for long. Mathews is still San Diego’s No. 1 RB, and whenever he returns to the field you can expect Oliver to return to fantasy irrelevance.

It wasn't too long ago that the Buffalo Bills had a running back by the name of Marshawn Lynch that they were dangling as trade bait. The Green Bay Packers were not willing to offer a fourth round pick for his services despite the public endorsement of quarterback and former collegiate teammate of Lynch Aaron Rodgers and despite the Packers glaring hole at the running back position at that particular time.  So even though it's very unlikely and would be very out of character for Ted Thompson to make such a move, here are some potential pieces the Green Bay Packers could add before the trade deadline to increase their Super Bowl hopes in 2014.
