Week 1 has come and gone in a blink of an eye. There were some unlikely heroes and some unfortunate goose eggs. The good news, it can\u2019t get any worse for the duds. The first week of the NFL season can be tough to decipher, but digging deep can help identify players to buy and sell in fantasy football. Identifying those players can be huge in trade negotiations, especially if you can buy a player as they\u2019re about to get hot or sell before all value is lost. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fantasy football is a season-long journey, but it\u2019s also important to win the week-to-week battles and improve your team where you can. Looking towards Week 2, go out and make some offers involving these players. Or on the flip side, package them and try to tier up while a certain player still holds value. These are your weekly trade targets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fantasy Football Week 2 Buy and Sell Targets<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Players to Buy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Kenneth Walker (RB: Seattle Seahawks)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Much of the offseason there were debates about Zach Charbonnet<\/a> \u201cdethroning\u201d Kenneth Walker<\/a> as the top running back in Seattle. Well, after the first week, Walker led the way with 16 touches to three. The game script probably was a factor, but he also tied for the team lead in targets with five as well, which is always a positive. Walker also dominated the rushing attempts handling 71% of the running back carries. Some owners might get discouraged by a 10.7 fantasy stat line, but the volume of touches is encouraging. The next three games are against Detroit, Carolina, and the New York Giants. Last season the Lions and Giants were both bottom six in rush defense and the Panthers just got scorched by the Atlanta Falcons rushing attack. Things are about to get better before the Week 5 bye.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tee Higgins (WR: Cincinnati Bengals)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Cincinnati Bengals as a whole just looked flat and off-beat. Joe Burrow<\/a> missed multiple weeks of training camp and all of preseason with a calf injury. It likely played a part in the underwhelming offensive effort, but the rust will come off soon. Tee Higgins was the biggest letdown from the Bengals group with a total of 0 fantasy points. On the bright side, he had eight targets, one shy of team lead Ja\u2019Marr Chase<\/a>. Of Joe Burrow\u2019s 31 pass attempts, Higgins had a 26% target share on the day. This Bengals offense is too good to remain in a rut and it\u2019ll find a way to revive itself. Go shoot some offers out to the Tee Higgins owner and see if they\u2019re overreacting over Week 1<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dallas Goedert (TE: Philadelphia Eagles)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A season ago on opening weekend, everyone was worried about DeVonta Smith<\/a> after a dud in Week 1. Smith also put up a stinker with zero receptions on four targets. He went on to put up 80 yards on seven catches against the Minnesota Vikings<\/a> the following week on Monday night. It just so happens the Eagles play the Minnesota Vikings on primetime in Week 2 again this season. Could there be a similar bounce-back for Dallas Goedert<\/a> after his zero-catch performance? The New England Patriots have been a tough matchup for tight ends over the years and Goedert was just the latest victim. While some might be looking to sell Dallas Goedert, savvy fantasy football managers should use this opportunity to buy a few shares.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bonus Buy – Tyler Allgeier (RB: Atlanta Falcons)<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

#Falcons<\/a> RBs ran the ball 454 times. Tyler Allgeier led the team w\/210 attempts. Bijan Robinson will surely get his touches, but why are we fading Allgeier & downgrading him to just a handcuff? He should have standalone value as a flex play w\/ huge upside if Bijan gets injured.<\/p>\n
