The concept of buying low and selling high is the most basic one in a fantasy sports trade market. But within this concept, there are plenty of nuances.
Buying low is the easy part of trade decisions because it usually involves a degree of optimism, which makes us feel good. It’s fairly easy to find the buy-low options. Simply look for players who are off to slow starts but have a solid track record for success and are at an age where a rapid decline doesn’t really make sense.
Most managers can quickly look through the player pool, find a few names who scream, “This player will soon turn things around,” and then start crafting a trade offer. In years of writing these articles and dishing out advice in chat sessions, I have found that selling high is the hardest thing for fantasy managers to do. It’s the fantasy version of looking a gift horse in the mouth. The manager drafted a player who is greatly exceeding expectations, which feels awesome. But to sell high, the manager needs to conclude that the player is not going to be able to maintain his recent success in the long run.
I’ve listed a few players below whom I believe are poised to eventually get a reality check on their hot starts to the season. Those who disagree should keep them on their roster, but I hope that many of you will consider floating their names in trade talks in the coming days.The hype train on Ohtani was speeding out of control after the WBC, and his hot start to the season has only made his bandwagon grow larger.
