Trade targets for fantasy playoffs, As we head into the homestretch of the fantasy football regular season, it is a good time for teams on the path to the postseason to add players to their roster who can help successfully navigate the club to a title.
This week's Fantasy Foresight article wants to help in this arena by noting seven trade candidates whose playoff schedules should give them multiple weeks' worth of high-upside potential at the most critical time of the fantasy football season.
Each running back and wide receiver listed below has a minimum of three green-rated matchups (green being a designation of a favorable matchup) in Weeks 13 to 16. In the case of the quarterback on this list, he has three matchups that contain at least three green-rated defenders in the opposing team's secondary.
In addition to the favorable trade candidates, each positional section details players whose fantasy playoff schedule is highly unfavorable and therefore can be used as trade options.
Also included are four players whose Week 8 successes or struggles will continue this season, two players whose fantasy performances in Week 8 will not serve as a barometer for the future and four waiver-wire candidates ahead of Week 9.
