#5: RB - Josh Jacobs (GB)

I was down on Jacobs all summer, but after seeing his workload with Jordan Love sidelined, it's hard not to be impressed—32 carries for 151 yards is no joke. The downside? A fumble and a holding call wiped out 2 potential touchdowns, killing his fantasy output. But here's the kicker: Jacobs leads the league in carries, and that workload isn’t slowing down as long as Love is out. Volume like this is gold.

#4: WR - Tyreek Hill (MIA)

With Tua out, someone might be ready to part with Hill, thinking his ceiling just dipped. But let me tell you, Tyreek still leads the league in yards after the catch, has an elite 4.33 yards per route run, and Mike McDaniel will make sure he’s fed. Yeah, the Bills kept him in check last week, but don’t sweat it. Hill is still a game-breaker, and now’s your chance to snag him before he’s back to torching defenses.

#3: RB - Jonathan Taylor (IND)

JT sitting at RB22 in PPR after 2 weeks feels wrong, right? Don’t let the ranking fool you—it’s not a talent issue. He’s averaging 6.1 yards per touch and just ripped off 8.6 yards per carry against the Packers. Sure, Anthony Richardson steals some red-zone looks, but Taylor’s still the engine of this offense. If you can grab him, do it now, because he’s about to explode.

#2: WR - Ja’Marr Chase (CIN)

The Bengals' slow start is your golden opportunity. Chase hasn’t hit his stride yet, mainly because he missed most of training camp. But the talent is absolutely still there. If the manager in your league is panicking over his lackluster start, it’s time to swoop in. You could walk away with one of the top receivers in the league at a discount.

#5: TE - Sam LaPorta (DET)

LaPorta came into the season as the hot TE pick, but things have shifted fast in Detroit. After averaging 7 targets per game in 2023, he’s sitting at just 8 targets total through two weeks. Why? Jameson Williams has reemerged and taken over, racking up 20 targets already. LaPorta’s value is fading, so it’s time to flip him before it’s too late.

#4: WR - Calvin Ridley (TEN)

Ridley’s off to a strong start, even beating Sauce Gardner for a touchdown in Week 2, flashing that old spark. But here’s the catch—DeAndre Hopkins has been working his way back, and when he’s full speed, Will Levis may struggle to feed both. With a shaky QBR and a weak deep ball, Levis isn’t likely to keep Ridley rolling. Sell high while you still can.

#3: RB - Zack Moss (CIN)

Moss was supposed to take over the Joe Mixon role, but it's been underwhelming so far. He’s outside the top-30 RBs in fantasy points and yards per touch. The bigger issue? Chase Brown is breathing down his neck, outperforming Moss in Week 2 despite taking a third of his carries. So, unload Moss before Brown relegates him to the bench.

#2: WR - Davante Adams (LV)

Adams is as dominant as ever—14 catches, 169 yards, and a touchdown through two games. But after a 26-point Week 2 explosion, it’s the perfect time to sell high. Gardner Minshew’s volatile play will lead to ups and downs for Adams, and we’ve seen it before—like his three games with 2 or fewer catches last year. Take advantage of the spike and get a more consistent option.
