Buy Low: Odell Beckham Jr.

Odell Beckham Jr. has been a major disappointment thus far, averaging just 12.6 fantasy points per game in PPR leagues, per ESPN, 43rd among wide receivers. The top eight tight ends in fantasy are all averaging more fantasy points per game.

That's not great.

But it's hard to imagine that Beckham won't turn things around. He still leads the Cleveland Browns in receptions (23) and targets (43). Those aren't great numbers after five games, but it's not as though he's disappeared from the offense.

It's that offense overall, however, that's the concern. Cleveland is 23rd in yards per game (340.2), 20th in passing yards per game (227.8) and 25th in points per contest (18.4). Beckham, in turn, has found the end zone just once in five games.

That 0.2 touchdown-per-game rate is dramatically lower than the number he's posted for his career (0.7). Beckham is too good to stay this mediocre all season, even if the poor play of quarterback Baker Mayfield (55.9 completion percentage, four touchdowns, eight interceptions) is a major concern.

But it's a virtual guarantee that there are fantasy players with Beckham on their rosters freaking out. That's always the perfect opportunity to buy low. At some point, you have to trust that an elite talent like Beckham will produce like he has in the past. Don't be afraid to send some lowball offers for Beckham—his stock will never be lower.

Sell High: Will Dissly

Will Dissly is having a heck of a season, but there is some reason for caution from a fantasy perspective. Among the top eight tight ends in fantasy this season, he's last in targets (26), tied for seventh in receptions (23) and seventh in receiving yards. His four touchdowns have represented 32.4 percent of his fantasy value, a rate that likely isn't sustainable.

He holds a 16.6 percent target share in Seattle's offense. For comparison, Travis Kelce holds a 21.9 percent target share in the Kansas City Chiefs offense, while Zach Ertz has a 25.1 percent target share in the Philadelphia Eagles offense. It's a bit easier to trust players like Kelce and Ertz given the bigger chunk of the offense they receive (and their pedigree as fantasy performers as well).

Now, here's the thing: Dissly is a really good player! He's an important part of the Seattle Seahawks offense, and he should continue getting looks. He's a safe bet to finish as a top-eight tight end this year.

But it's fair to question whether he's due for a regression given his modest overall targets. The idea is that you sell Dissly as an elite tight end if you believe he will only be a lower-end TE1 the rest of the season, a real possibility if he doesn't find the end zone consistently. If you believe in Dissly, by all means hang on to him—there's no doubt he has talent.

Just understand that there's a good chance he won't finish the season as an elite tight end option. If you have another top tight end, don't be afraid to dangle Dissly on the trade block—somebody will probably overpay.

Quick Hitters

Patrick Mahomes went from being the most reliable player in all of fantasy through the first three weeks (10 touchdowns passes) to reminding us that he's still a human being over the next two games (one touchdown pass). Don't press the panic button just yet—he will still finish the season as fantasy's top quarterback. He just may not put up historical numbers this time around.

Press that proverbial panic button if you have Stefon Diggs on your team, however. His 16 receptions for 253 yards and a score puts him on pace to post just 51 receptions for 809 yards and three touchdowns, well below expectations. And there's plenty of reason to believe he's no longer happy with the Minnesota Vikings. Maybe he will get traded (probably not), but if you can get back solid value for Diggs, don't be afraid to pull the trigger.

Through five games, Christian McCaffrey is fantasy's MVP, and it isn't close. He's averaging an incredible 31.9 fantasy points per game in PPR leagues, six more than the No. 2 player (Austin Ekeler). That makes him untouchable, with little reason to believe his production will slow down given his importance to the Carolina Panthers offense.

Speaking of Ekeler, the presence of Melvin Gordon will hurt his fantasy upside. He's not going to finish the year as an RB1. But his impact in the passing game—he had 15 receptions in Week 5—means he's going to hold solid value, even with Gordon back in the mix. Most savvy fantasy players will put that together, meaning his time as a sell-high candidate has probably passed.

But frankly, there's an excellent chance he remains a top-20 running back the remainder of the season. Keep him in those starting lineups, and don't undervalue him too dramatically—he will remain productive.
