Good morning.

It’s Spooky Season!👻 And nothing is scarier than watching the Colts burn their roster to the ground, trading away Quenton Nelson, DeForest Buckner, and eventually maybe Jonathan Taylor, too.👀 It’s been tough in Indy post-Andrew Luck…

Speaking of trades, today we’re once again going over some buys, sells, and other trends around the league.

Let’s get after it…

Every time you fill up or open your power bill, an energy company gets paid. Gas prices just set an October record. Iran is firing on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, and Russia's oil exports are getting choked off by attacks on its tankers and oil infrastructure.

Then there's AI. Data centers are pulling power off America's grid faster than anyone can build it, and tech giants are signing deals for entire power plants just to keep their servers running.

So the best performing sector of 2026 isn't tech, and it isn't AI. It's energy, up around 40% this year while most investors were busy chasing chip stocks.

We've found the #1 energy stock to end 2026 strong. Get it free, and we'll text you the name.

Get the #1 Energy Stock

💰 Buy Ollie Gordon II. He’s averaged more yards before contact per attempt, more yards after contact per attempt, more missed tackles forced per attempt, and more rush yards over expected per attempt than De'Von Achane this season, per Draft Sharks’ Jared Smola. That’s resulted in four straight RB16 or better finishes, making him perhaps the best waiver wire pickup of the season.

📉 Sell Blake Corum. When the Rams are tied or leading, Corum has 41% of the backfield’s expected fantasy points. But when the team is trailing, he has just 21%, per Smola. That’s significant because the Rams have the hardest remaining schedule based on the average remaining opponent win percentage against a league-average team on a neutral field, per Ben Baldwin. That should mean less Corum and more Kyren than we’ve been seeing as of late.

💰 Buy Jordan Mason. In his first game back, Mason commanded a 64% snap share and a 65% rush share. Meanwhile, Aaron Jones reaggravated a sprained left MCL that he suffered in Week 2. Going forward, Mason should see plenty of work for the Vikings, who have the 5th-easiest RB schedule over the next five weeks, per NBC Sports’ Alfredo Brown. He’s a solid RB2 or FLEX upgrade for those looking to make a playoff push.

📉 Sell Tony Pollard. This won’t work in sharp leagues, but in a basic home league, this is your typical “sell after his one good game” situation. Pollard found the end zone three times against Cleveland last week, but he’ll be virtually unusable in four of the next five weeks—Pollard plays the Bengals (4th-fewest fantasy points allowed to RBs), has a bye, then has two matchups in the span of three weeks against the Jags (2nd-fewest fantasy points allowed to RBs), per Brown.

💰 Buy Justin Jefferson. The Vikings rank 4th in designed run % (43.3) and 31st in dropbacks (198), per ESPN’s Kevin Seifert. That lack of volume has destroyed Justin Jefferson’s fantasy value. But over the next six weeks, the Vikings will face just one team that doesn't rank among the top 10 in scoring offense, per RotoBaller’s Jorden Hill. That should hopefully lead to more opportunities and, of course, more Griddies for JJettas.

📉 Sell A.J. Brown. “Through three appearances this season, Brown has nine receptions for 101 yards and no TDs … He is 29 years old and coming off one of the least productive seasons of his career. I don’t see the same consistent separation that made him one of the league’s most difficult receivers to cover, and he has also failed to finish several catchable opportunities since returning.” — PFSN’s Jason Katz

💰 Buy Tee Higgins. He’s up to WR5 in the NFL in yards per route run and has a career-high target per route run rate, per CBS Sports’ Jacob Gibbs. The Bengals have the easiest remaining strength of schedule, per Baldwin’s calculations—or 2nd-easiest if you prefer Warren Sharp’s analysis—so there should be plenty of chances for he and Joe Burrow to sling it around the yard.

📉 Sell Garrett Wilson. “Wilson’s targets have been down the last two games (nine total targets), and his connection with Geno Smith looks to be a bit off as well. Wilson also has several difficult matchups remaining, including a Week 16 date against Christian Gonzalez and a Week 17 (championship week) matchup against the vaunted Vikings defense.” — The Fantasy Footballers’ Kemper Trull

💰 Buy high on Luther Burden III:

💰 Buy Brock Purdy. He hasn't reached 20 fantasy points since Week 3, largely due to the fact that the Niners have scored more of their TDs on the ground recently. That should regress to the mean when he comes out of his bye week, especially given his next two opponents—Las Vegas (Week 9) has allowed at least 27 points in five consecutive games, while Dallas (Week 10) has been one of the more inviting defenses for opposing passing attacks, per Jason Katz.

📉 Sell low on Bryce Young. Young's four top-10 finishes came against four teams that rank in the bottom half of the league in pass defense, per Jorden Hill, while his two bad games came against Cleveland and Tampa—who have both been stout against QBs. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look great for Young and the Panthers going forward, as they have the toughest remaining schedule of opposing defenses, per Gridiron Stats and Info.

💰 Buy high on Colston Loveland. He’s the TE1 since Caleb Williams returned in Week 6, per FFA’s Nick Zylak and has the 6th-easiest schedule for fantasy TEs, per Draft Sharks.

📉 Sell Isaiah Likely. J.J. McCarthy has so far targeted his wideouts much more than his stud TE:

The NFL could’ve flexed another game to SNF, but chose to stick with Eagles (2-5) @ Commanders (1-4-1).
