Welcome to our Fantasy Football trade targets for Week 9 article. In this piece, we’ll explore some enticing trade opportunities that can give your fantasy team the competitive edge it needs. Let’s dive straight into the action!
Buy Low: Jahan Dotson
Jahan Dotson’s fantasy journey this season has been a rollercoaster. Many managers grew frustrated and dropped him early on, but recent performances demand our attention. In Week 8, Dotson exploded with eight receptions on 10 targets, accumulating an impressive 108 yards and scoring a touchdown. Week 7 was no slouch either, with five receptions for 43 yards.
The catch? Dotson’s success came against weaker secondaries (Giants and Eagles). However, signs point to a long-awaited breakout. Now is the perfect time to buy low on Dotson before his fantasy stock skyrockets.
Buy Low: Dionte’ Johnson
Dionte Johnson quietly shines in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense. He possesses the art of attracting targets, and his Week 8 return from injury was a promising sign. Johnson notched eight receptions for 85 yards on a remarkable 14 targets. His first game back was equally impressive, with five receptions for 79 yards.
What makes Johnson an enticing buy low option is the prevailing perception that VI Pickins remains the alpha receiver in Pittsburgh. This misconception works in your favor if you’re eyeing Johnson. He consistently flies under the radar, making him a gem for astute fantasy owners.

Sell High: Miles Sanders
Miles Sanders faces a precarious situation since his return from injury. In Week 8, he managed just two rushing attempts for zero yards. In contrast, his counterpart, Cheber, received 15 carries for 28 yards and added two receptions for 26 yards. While these numbers aren’t eye-popping, they signal a changing dynamic in the Eagles’ backfield.
Sanders enjoyed a promising start in Week 1 with 72 rushing yards, but since then, he hasn’t surpassed 43 rushing yards in a game. It’s evident that Sanders might have lost his starting role. If you still believe in him, now could be the right time to sell to someone who hasn’t recognized the shift.
Sell High: Jerry Judy
Jerry Judy may have found the end zone in Week 8, but a closer look reveals more. Leading up to that game, Judy ranked 50th in targets, 41st in receptions, and 50th in receiving yards. While the Denver Broncos’ offense has shown improvement, can we rely on it to consistently support Judy?
Certainly, Judy possesses immense talent, but banking on touchdown receptions week in and week out isn’t a sustainable strategy. If you can find a trade partner who values his recent performance more than his overall consistency, it might be wise to explore options beyond Judy.
In conclusion, strategic trading can be the key to success in fantasy football. Week 9 presents opportunities to buy low on Dotson and Johnson, two receivers with promising recent performances. On the flip side, Sanders and Judy are candidates to sell high due to their uncertain situations and fluctuating production.
