Buy, Sell, Hold for Fantasy Football Week 2: Garrett Wilson Trending Up

It's only been one week.

But we finally have data! And we can use this data to make some decisions about our teams. But first…

REMEMBER: NO ADVICE IS HELPFUL VOID OF CONTEXT

You know your league's scoring best.
You know your roster best.
You know what players are available on waivers best.

Consider all context when trading.

Here are some players to consider as Buys, Sells, and Holds moving into Week 2.

BUY: High-Upside WRs

Garrett Wilson | WR | NYJ

Twenty-two interceptions were thrown in Week 1. But guess what? Not one of them was thrown by Geno f*cking Smith.

Geno led the league in interceptions in 2025. And he didn't throw a single one! Despite both MVP candidates and many other prominent QBs throwing to the wrong team in their Week 1 debuts.

Not bad, Geno…

The point I'm trying to make here is: The Jets looked OK. And Garrett Wilson looked even better with a 29% target share, quietly hauling in a respectable 6-79-0 on seven targets.

Things are looking up for Wilson, who averaged 16.6 FPPG last season across his six healthy games (with worse QB play btw).

While the Jets usually don't excite me… Wilson does.

Mike Evans | WR | SF

Alllllright. Maybe the old man does have some juice left in the tank after all.

Not only does Mike Evans have something to prove on a new team after a ‘25 season plagued with injuries and his first season back after his 1,000-yard streak ended… but his QB upgrade is also glaringly obvious.

I fear this might be your last chance to get on the Evans train after his “good, but not so good that he calls everyone’s attention” stat line of 6-49-1 last week.

If Evans can stay healthy, he could help carry your team to a championship due to his TD upside in a high-powered offense.

Remember: Evans took less money to move to San Francisco. And why he took the downgrade in pay is quickly becoming apparent.

Blake Corum | RB | LAR

Simply put: Blake Corum is more than just a backup to Kyren Williams. We've been saying this all offseason. He's not the RB1 on the team, but he's a cheaper version, who can hold his own weight.

SELL: Roster Cloggers

Herein lies the conundrum of Week 1: Do we sell after one data point? Do we panic? Do we jump ship now?

My answer is typically going to be no.

But with that being said…

AJ Brown | WR | NE

If you roster A.J. Brown, you have to consider the following:

Does your team have multiple injuries already?
Is your roster suddenly falling apart with multiple players out for several weeks?
Did you lose your first game?

If you somehow rostered a heavy combination of Sam Darnold, Kyler Murrary, Brown, Zay Flowers and De'Zhaun Stribling… first of all, OOF. Secondly, there's an argument for letting another team let Brown sit on their bench through his stint on IR while you reimagine your roster.

You know your league's scoring and waivers better than anyone else. If you need to sell Brown because of his (minimally) four-week absence to help you build a roster out… do what you need to do.

PSA: Make sure you don't get robbed.

HOLD: Don't Be Stupid—Hold Onto Talent

Come on now. A few goose eggs, a downright dirty 2-point game and a subpar outing for your RB1 isn't something to panic about. It's Week 1, people! The box score isn't the only data we have to work with.

This is your "Don't Be Stupid" list. We're obviously holding onto these guys after their Week 1 duds.

Ja'Marr Chase (2.2 pts)
Colston Loveland (0.0 pts)
De'Von Achane (8.6 pts)

Don't get cute!

Isaiah Likely | TE | NYG

We've lived through the "Big Week 1 Bonanza" with Isaiah Likely before. I know.

And it didn't work out so well for all of us who fell for his elite 9-111-1 outing at the start of the 2024 season, did it? So I understand if your gut reaction is to sell high on Likely.

I really do.

But this kind of late-round TE doesn't always come around. This is exactly what you drafted him for: his upside in New York's offense, no longer competing with the likes of Mark Andrews.

Sell-conditions: No advice is helpful without context. If you have a huge weak spot in your roster, put feelers out there for Likely. Many who drafted him didn't take him as their TE1, and we just wanted to see what he'd do on our bench. The choice is yours. But make sure you upgrade exponentially at another position if you're going to sell high.
