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.
Bye weeks are incredibly frustrating for fantasy football. Having to find a replacement for a player is just irritating. However, in dynasty, I love them because they generally open up small buy windows for players who fall out of the general consciousness. It has been almost two weeks since the Chiefs were last on the field in Germany, and therefore, people may not be thinking about Rice currently.
I was a big fan of Rice as a prospect but thought he was raw as a route runner and may take a little time to establish himself in the NFL. That was not the case, and he didn't take any time at all. He has established himself as the primary receiver for the Chiefs, and now we may see the post-bye rookie bump truly start to take hold. His combination of size and athleticism is impressive, and he is a threat whenever he gets the ball in his hands. Now could be an excellent opportunity to buy an appreciating asset who could see an astronomical rise in value if he has a strong second half of his rookie season. Paying a contender's first to acquire him right now feels like a sensible price, but maybe you need to pivot from another player in order to acquire Rice.
