After 5 weeks of fantasy football, we have more knowledge and information that can influence us to start making moves with our dynasty rosters. Before we begin, let us remember the trading manifesto: Before making ANY trades, consider the team’s needs, direction, and contender status. 

And with that, here are four fantasy football players to buy or sell before the start of Week 6!

Buy High: Quinshon Judkins

Buying high on Quinshon Judkins right now is still a massive steal. We are looking at a special player, and it is a matter of time before everyone knows it. Judkins has barely practiced with the Cleveland Browns, yet he functioned as the centerpiece of their offense early Sunday morning in London.

Judkins did what good running backs do against bad run defenses and chewed Minnesota up for 110 yards on 23 attempts, adding two receptions for 18 yards. This game could have been an even bigger explosion as Judkins had multiple long runs called back by holding penalties, at least one of which would have gone for a touchdown.

Again, Judkins wasn’t activated by the Browns until September 13th. That’s well into the NFL season, and missing training camp and the preseason has virtually not mattered whatsoever after a quick ramp-up to a 25-touch game. 

The ceiling for a player like Judkins is a Top 5 Dynasty running back, and if they lean on him to carry the team, he can finish as the overall RB1. For 2025, the Browns have a very juicy rest of season schedule. I am considering Quinshon Judkins as a set-it-and-forget-it starter for the remainder of the year. Judkins can be a league winner and is worth paying up for. 

As always, starting offers can be a bit more modest, but be willing to aggressively pay for Judkins, as long as you are not decimating your team at other positions. I wouldn’t blink at trading away a future first-round pick for Judkins or possibly even a bit more.

Buy Low: Omarion Hampton

Sticking with the theme of rookie RBs, Omarion Hampton and the Los Angeles Chargers have fallen upon very hard times. Hampton was placed on IR with a lower leg injury that will majorly hurt his season, and the Chargers’ offensive line has been riddled with long-term injuries as well.

Before this team caught the injury bug, though, Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers were firing on all cylinders, and Hampton was looking very ready for NFL action. He was carrying defenders with him, hitting holes hard, and making players miss in the backfield when offensive line troubles did pop up.

For teams that have the luxury of trading for an injured player, this is a great opportunity. Consider the needs of the team managing Omarion Hampton and try to offer something that meets those needs. Hampton is a great target if you have an aging veteran you can trade away with draft capital or other players who might contribute in the short term.

Remember that Omarion has just recently been placed on IR, and his KeepTradeCut value will not reflect this for a few weeks. This is crucial to keep in mind when evaluating trades for Hampton; I do not recommend trading for him at his current KeepTradeCut value.

Sell High: Jaxson Dart

This is your moment. You most likely grabbed Jaxson Dart at a great value in your rookie draft or dynasty start-up draft, and now is your chance to get a first-round pick for him, or even more.

Dart should provide some fantasy value for the remainder of 2025. He could end up being a new version of the Giants’ Daniel Jones, who could put up decent fantasy numbers while losing real NFL games. Dart’s rushing upside is exciting but ultimately limited by his accuracy issues, and could be hampered this year with a lack of offensive weapons to throw the ball to.

Through two starts, Dart has rushed for 50 yards in both games and scored touchdowns already through the air and on the ground. There is very likely going to be a manager in your league who views Dart as a much more valuable prospect than I do at the moment. Look for Giants fans or QB-desperate managers to sell to, and do not accept anything less than a first-round pick. You can likely get even more than that in a Superflex league.

Sell Low: Aaron Rodgers

For teams that do not need a starting QB or cannot realistically compete in their leagues for 2025, it is time to sell Rodgers. His value only has the potential to decline, so whether you can acquire a future second, third, or decent younger player in return for Aaron Rodgers, now is the time.

In Superflex leagues, I would probably want a second for Rodgers, but could cave if offered two third-round picks. In a 1QB league, you should be trying to get out on Rodgers for a future third, or even consider just dropping Rodgers for a dart throw player with some youth.

***Always remember the trading manifesto, think of team needs, team direction, and contender status before making any trades!***
