The NFL trade deadline is right around the corner. The official cut-off to trade players within the league is on Halloween or October, 31st. A change of scenery<\/a> can be a good thing for some players and crippling for others. It could be a system or schematic thing or simply just not being utilized correctly. Not only will this affect the overall player if he changes uniforms, but it could also ripple down to their new teammates. Get a week’s start and try to move these players beforehand. These are some players to buy or trade before week 8 that are currently swirling around in trade rumors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fantasy Football Week 8 Buy and Sell Targets<\/span><\/h2>\n

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

Bijan Robinson (RB: Atlanta Falcons)<\/span><\/h3>\n

One touch for 3 yards is simply not good. Allegedly, Robinson wasn\u2019t \u201cfeeling good\u201d and that played a part in his overall snap and touch distribution. Surely the Bijan Robinson<\/a> owner is unsatisfied with this performance and could be aggravated. Sometimes fantasy managers make rash decisions after a bad week. Robinson\u2019s value is never going to be lower than it is right now in redraft leagues. Make your move now and go buy him if you can. He’ll be just fine moving forward<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

DeAndre Hopkins (WR: Tennessee Titans)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Circling back to the trade rumors, DeAndre Hopkins\u2019<\/a> name has been brought up a couple of times. He\u2019s the perfect candidate for a contending team that needs wide receiver help. He\u2019s averaging 7.8 targets per game in Tennessee<\/a> in a low-volume passing offense. Right now he\u2019s a decent WR3 option, but if he were to go to a more stable team in a slightly better passing situation, Hopkins could jump back up into the WR2 range.<\/span><\/p>\n

On another note, Derrick Henry has been rumored to be involved in trade discussions. If the Titans were to move on from Henry, it’d change the whole dynamic of the offense and give the receivers a bump. Hopkins is a low-risk, high-reward buy target.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

David Njoku (TE: Cleveland Browns)<\/span><\/h3>\n

There aren’t many tight-end targets to try and buy outside the obvious juggernauts. David Njoku is firmly a top 3 option in the passing game and that\u2019s what you want from your starting fantasy tight end. Looking ahead at the schedule, Njoku has a couple of red matchups coming up, but after that tough stretch, it\u2019s all green for the rest of the season. He\u2019s a great buy for the playoff run.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
