The 2024 fantasy football season is still in single-digit weeks, but that doesn’t mean that you should wait on making trades to improve your squad. One trade could turn your season around given the week-to-week nature of the game.

So let’s do some buying low and selling high ahead of Week 7 in the NFL as we get ready to see if your team is a contender or a pretender. Hopefully, this will help you be a contender.

Here’s a list of players who you should either trade for or trade away this week as you take a look at your lineup:

1. WR Marvin Harrison Jr., Arizona Cardinals: Trade for

I'm still a believer, and maybe he's out this week with a concussion, but I foresee him rebounding and playing well the rest of the way.

2. RB D'Andre Swift, Chicago Bears: Trade away

I think he's going to come back to Earth at some point, especially given the presence of Roschon Johnson. I'm selling high if I can.

3. RB Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles: Trade for

Last week was rough, right? Except it was the Browns' defense. He's facing some soft run defenses coming up, so go get him.

4. RB Najee Harris, Pittsburgh Steelers: Trade away

He just had his first 100-yard game of the year and his first touchdown. That should tell you something about his numbers this year. Sell sell sell!

5. WR Brian Thomas Jr., Jacksonville Jaguars: Trade for

He's a star and a red zone target. Last week's 27 yards is the perfect buy-low opportunity.
