Week 10 is here, but the trade deadline is coming up. So it’s time to get some trades in before the deadline pops up in your leagues. There are still a few players you should be able to get your hands on. Negotiating is key, so don’t send any nonsense deals, because some managers can be a little sensitive. Here are a few players you might be interested in targeting for trade this week. Some players’ values are on the lower side, making them more likely to get. Keep in mind that “name value” is a thing. So some fantasy managers will try to up-sell a player because of name value. Don’t let it deter you from making a trade offer. Put your best foot forward and show your fantasy GM skills.

Week 10 Fantasy Trade Targets
George Pickens, WR – DAL
The Cowboys’ number two wide receiver is back on the list because it’s still a good time to buy low if you need a wide receiver. Granted, targeting Pickens carries risk. Pickens is dealing with shoulder and hamstring issues, and his role in the Cowboys’ offense has been shaky at best this season. But that’s why you are buying low on Pickens right now. His role in the offense needs to change because the Cowboys need it to happen. With games against the 49ers, Seahawks, and Rams coming up, it should be all hands on deck for the offense to get these wins. CeeDee Lamb can’t do it all by himself, and with Jake Ferguson expected to miss time due to injury, that should mean even more opportunity for Pickens to re-emerge.
Ollie Gordon, RB – MIA
Ollie Gordon has been a great pickup for fantasy football after De’Von Achane went down earlier this season. But now, Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis is being placed on injured reserve with a groin injury. The Dolphins’ passing game wasn’t great to start this season, and now it will turn to another rookie quarterback, Kyle McCord, to keep things afloat. This could mean two things.
One, opposing defenses could start keying in on the Dolphins’ run game, forcing McCord to beat them. This could mean opposing defenses loading up the box to slow down Ollie Gordon and the Dolphins’ rushing attack.
Two, the Dolphins leaning even more into the run game and getting Gordon more opportunities to help McCord get up to NFL speed. Again, this is another gamble for fantasy managers looking for a running back to trade for. Three of the Dolphins’ next four opponents (IND, NYJ, DEN) rank inside the top-10 in rushing yards allowed. The Bills currently allow the fifth-fewest rushing yards heading into Week 10.
Jordan Mason, RB – MIN
Jordan Mason is another running back fantasy managers should try to trade for. His value isn’t super high, but that could change now that Kirk Cousins has been traded back to the Minnesota Vikings at the trade deadline. Cousins’ presence gives renewed vigor to the Vikings’ skill players like Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. With those threats now needing to be taken more seriously, this could open up more rushing lanes for Mason. Mason is averaging 4.1 yards per attempt heading into Week 10, but he did average 5.8 yards per attempt against a tougher Buffalo Bills defense in Week 9. The thing that needs to go up is his rushing attempts, as he only saw six against the Bills. With fresher legs and goal-line work heading in his direction, Mason would be a nice option to target via trade.
Derrick Henry, RB – BAL
Because of the name, Derrick Henry is going to be hard to pull. Henry suffered at the hands of not having Lamar Jackson under center in Week 9. The volume was there, as he finished the week with 17 carries for 57 yards. But because there was no passing game to respect, plus his 3.4 yards per attempt, the Jaguars kept him in check. The Ravens acted quickly, trading for Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett. That move would be the balancing act to help get back on track for the Ravens’ offense while Lamar Jackson is out. If Brissett can get the Ravens’ passing attack back to normal-ish, Henry will have the running room to get busy. Henry has been solid this season, so the asking price may be a little higher than most on this list. But you have to try and get this guy on your roster if you can.
DJ Moore, WR – BUF
The Buffalo Bills managed to upset DJ Moore managers (myself included) on Monday Night Football against the Minnesota Vikings. The opportunity was there for Moore to have more of an impact on the game. But the Bills opted to run the ball against one of the better run defenses in the league. Mind you, it ended up working but left Moore with just three catches for 25 yards. Moore is still the focal point in the Bills’ passing attack, and Josh Allen has more than enough arm to get him the pill. We know Moore is still returning from the shoulder injury earlier in the season, and maybe that is still playing a factor. But DJ Moore is one of the cheaper wide receivers to target at this point in the fantasy season.
Nico Collins, WR – HOU
While everyone was excited about the return of Tank Dell, it seemed like the Houston Texans forgot that they have a WR1 already out on the field in Nico Collins. Collins was an afterthought in the offense against the Los Angeles Chargers. Collins’ saving grace was the touchdown that he caught to help boost his fantasy numbers. Collins only had four catches (on four targets) for 55 yards. The Texans have a bunch of wide receivers on the roster now, and while Collins should continue to lead the pack most weeks, it was a bit shocking that he saw so few targets. Collins has 39 targets for the season, ranking 50th among wide receivers this season.
