Moves to Make Before Week 8 Fantasy Football: Buy Chris Olave, sell Ashton Jeanty

Key Points:

• Recommended players to buy include Chris Olave, A.J. Brown, and Jordan Mason due to favorable upcoming schedules, potential for increased roles, and positive regression after recent setbacks.
• Chris Olave is seen as a buy-low candidate given his consistent target volume despite recent tough matchups and injury concerns about teammate Jordyn Tyson.
• A.J. Brown’s recent underperformance is attributed to rust and variance, but his high target share and easier schedule ahead make him a strong buy for fantasy playoffs.
• Jordan Mason could take on a larger role with Aaron Jones’ injury history, supported by a favorable schedule and Minnesota having already had their bye week.
• Players to sell include Ashton Jeanty, Tony Pollard, and Jameson Williams due to injury concerns, tough upcoming matchups, and touchdown variance affecting their fantasy value.
• Ashton Jeanty’s effectiveness is limited by injury and poor rushing metrics, with rookie Fernando Mendoza potentially cutting into his target share.
• Tony Pollard’s recent breakout is likely an outlier, with a difficult schedule ahead making him a sell-high candidate.
• Jameson Williams’ recent success is largely touchdown-dependent, and the Lions’ receivers face the toughest remaining fantasy schedule.
• Malachi Fields is highlighted as a stash candidate due to his availability in most leagues and a favorable schedule after the Giants’ bye week, suggesting a potential breakout soon.
