Fantasy Football Trade Tips: Yes, believe the hype and buy Bhayshul Tuten now

Fantasy football analyst Justin Boone shares his top trade advice for Week 6.

For those looking to make impactful fantasy football trades, there are several players to consider before their values shift in the coming weeks. Quarterback Bhayshul Tuten of the Jaguars is a notable buy, as he's been the clear lead back in Jacksonville this season, sitting as the RB19 in fantasy points per game. His usage points to an even higher ceiling, with 85 scrimmage yards per outing and only two touchdowns scored so far.

While a breakout performance might not occur against Houston, it's only a matter of time before Tuten has a blowout week that could elevate him to a top-12 RB or even a top-10 WR in some formats.

Wide receiver Michael Wilson of the Cardinals is another potential target. Despite a disappointing performance against the Lions, Wilson has averaged 10.2 targets per game and could be an obvious fantasy WR2 with low-end WR1 upside for the rest of the season. Running back Carnell Tate of the Titans, following a shockingly weak stat line, could also be a valuable trade piece.

Tate's ability to transcend his struggling franchise, combined with the easiest fantasy schedule among all receivers, makes him a high-end WR3 with the potential to rise to WR2 status.

Running back Jordan Mason of the Vikings is another player to keep an eye on. Mason has been on IR but is pacing to be activated in Week 7 when the Vikings return from bye. While his workhorse teammate Aaron Jones has emerged as the workhorse in Mason's absence, Mason's role as a fantasy RB3 with a sneaky RB2 ceiling is worth considering.

Quarterback Bucky Irving of the Buccaneers suffered a strong performance against the Cowboys, but his role as an outlier stat line in a prime-time game against a friendly defense suggests he may not maintain this level of production. As a fantasy RB2, Irving could be packaged with another piece to send out offers for a top-12 RB or WR.

Lastly, running back Cam Skattebo of the Giants has declined in role and snaps, potentially pushing him into the RB3 range or lower. Skattebo's limited role and pass-catching duties as a rookie suggest that his fantasy value may diminish further in the coming weeks.
