Fantasy Football Week 11: Examining Trade Value for This Year's Top 100 Players

With Thanksgiving a week away, it's a good time to take stock of your team and decide who you are thankful for this season. Cooper Kupp, Jonathan Taylor and Deebo Samuel would be natural choices if you drafted them. Surely you have others. 

But if you find yourself with more players you aren't particularly thankful for than those you are, well, it's time to make some trades. The clock is ticking. Soon enough, you won't have the chance to improve your team through that particular route. 

That's where the trade value chart comes into play. As you start working the proverbial phones, having a tool to help you properly value your own players and prospective trade targets can help keep you from getting ripped off.

Your window to sell high on Mike Williams may be closing pretty quickly. After catching 31 passes for 471 yards and six touchdowns in his first five games, he's posted just 10 receptions for 137 yards and zero scores in his next four. 

Just as worrying, he's gone from averaging 10.6 targets per game in that five-game stretch to just 5.2 per contest over the next four contests. 

We've seen this from Williams in the past, who always seems to post a few monster games per season but has struggled with consistency. Early on this season, it looked like he may have addressed that inconsistency, but recent weeks have cast doubt. 

If you can't sell high, you might have to weather this storm and hope he'll pick things up in the second half of the season. But if you're having doubts, consider putting him on the trade block to see if any wideout-needy teams make you a big-time offer. 

Consider trying to buy low on Miles Sanders. Before he was placed on injured reserve, he was having a poor season, but the Eagles were giving him just nine carries per game. But in the last three weeks, the Eagles have successfully transitioned into a run-first offense, running the ball 41.3 times per game. 

That's good news for Sanders, who will be the team's starting running back once he's healthy:

Sanders is more talented than any of Jordan Howard, Boston Scott or Kenny Gainwell, with over 800 yards rushing in each of his first two seasons. He should see a major bump in usage upon his return, given the Eagles' new offensive philosophy. 

It's possible that, upon his return, he could be one of the running back stars in the second half of the season. At the least, it appears his floor is going to be in the RB2 range.

(Note: He's low on the trade value chart because his status for Week 11 was unclear at the time of publication. If he's healthy, he'd get a bump up to a trade value of seven, with the chance to ascend much higher once we see his exact role in Philly's backfield). 

Buy low while you have the chance. Sanders has all the makings of a major breakthrough producer down the stretch.
