Winning fantasy football requires dealing with other managers in your league just as much as time spent scouring the waiver wire.
After just two weeks, chances are someone in your league is already panicking over a slow start from one of their top assets.
That impatience creates our best trading opportunities. Here are three buy-low trade targets and NFL picks for Week 3.

Best trade targets for Week 3
WR Tee Higgins, Bengals
Best futures prediction: 1000+ receiving yards (40%)
This is my No. 1 wideout to target right now if you're seeing any kind of panic from Higgins' fantasy owner.
Ja'Marr Chase is getting all of the headlines after making spectacular, highlight-reel touchdown catches through two weeks, while Higgins has yet to hit pay dirt. However, the No. 2 is actually leading the Cincinnati Bengals in targets with 16 to Chase's 13, and is in line for an easy matchup in two of his next three games (Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins).
Higgins averaged 17.4 points per game when Joe Burrow was under center over his last two seasons. Not only is he a great buy-now candidate, but a 40% probability for him to reach 1,000 receiving yards should also be bought up.
He'll come around, buy-now, and reap the rewards.
RB Breece Hall, Jets
Best futures prediction: 8+ rushing touchdowns (40%)
After tearing through the Tennessee Titans in Week 1, Hall was completely shut down by Green Bay last Sunday. If you're sensing panic from his owner after that tough outing, now is the time to strike.
In fantasy, volume is king - and Hall has it. He's averaging close to 20 attempts per game and has seven targets across two weeks, exactly the type of usage we're looking for. Plus, the Jets' offense has shown real signs of life after pushing the Packers to overtime last week. Hall finished as the RB19 last season, but with a full year of steady quarterback play, he could inch toward top-10 status. Expect better days ahead for the star back.
With one touchdown already under his belt and a soft schedule ahead of him, deal for him now, and invest in eight touchdowns at 50% - could be the easiest trade you make all year.
WR George Pickens, Cowboys
Best futures prediction: 1000+ receiving yards (53%)
Pickens is a notorious slow-starter - last year he had just 98 yards and a touchdown through the first two weeks but finished with close to 1500 yards and nine scores. He averaged 17 points per game from Week 7 to Week 17 to close out the year. Are we seeing the same narrative play out in 2026?
With just 68 yards through two weeks this year, managers might be ready to hit the panic button. Jump on that opportunity right now. The targets are there (14), the production is on its way.
Kalshi is spoon-feeding you his year-long yards, too. Trading at 53% for him to hit the milestone, the stock is as low as it will be all season. I'd play this up to 58%.
