Taking advantage of potential valuation trends in the trade market is imperative. That is even more true during the season when players can experience wild valuation changes on a week-to-week basis. Each week, I will be highlighting some players you should be looking to move or acquire and the reasons why.
I have never been the biggest fan of Smith-Njigba as an NFL player and dynasty asset. He is plagued with a low aDOT and has been restricted to low-value underneath work throughout his short career. He has flashed in games without DK Metcalf when he's been utilized all over the field, but every time Metcalf has been active, he has returned to his low-value role. This changed on Sunday when he was used at the deep and intermediate levels of the field. This resulted in an 11-target, ten-reception, 110-yard performance. If this usage continues, he will see an increased volume of high-value targets, which will significantly impact his overall production. The trade analyzer has him currently worth a late 2025 first-round pick, which is a price I would be very comfortable paying. You could also potentially pivot an aging veteran wide receiver as teams are pushing for playoff spots to target the young, potential superstar receiver.
