The worst bye week of the year is here, as fantasy football owners will be sorely missing players from the Eagles, Chiefs, Dolphins, and Rams. Between injuries, byes, and the rapidly approaching trade deadline in most fantasy leagues, plenty of people will be looking to make moves this week. Fortunately, FantasyPros is here to help with tips and trade advice in their Week 10 Stock Watch that includes key players like George Pickens and Odell Beckham Jr.
We've been saying it for a while, but depending on your situation, you might have to "lose" a trade in order to salvage your week (and your season). Getting live bodies in your lineup will be key during these final byes, so watch out in Week 10 if you own Chiefs, Eagles, Dolphins, or Rams, in Week 11 if you own Falcons, Colts, Patriots, or Saints, in Week 13 if you own Ravens, Bills, Bears, Raiders, Vikings, or Giants, and in Week 14 if you own Cardinals or Commanders.
Conversely, if your ticket to the postseason appears punched, feel free to trade from depth to solidify your starting lineup. You still want some worthwhile pivots in Weeks 15-17, but keep in mind there will be much less competition for waiver-wire pickups during those weeks, so you can hopefully plug any holes with waiver moves.

Remember, trade values can change quickly in fantasy football, so don't get too fixated on a specific target. Adapt to the latest trends, and don't be shy about making a move if there's a good offer on the table. -- Matt Lutovsky

Fantasy Trade Advice Week 10: Buy-low trade candidates
By Anthony Corrente, Fantasy Pros
George Pickens, WR, Steelers. Pickens was the subject of many memes and jokes following his Week 9 performance. He should have hauled in a touchdown on a play where he failed to drag the toe from his second foot on the sideline, and Diontae Johnson also found his way into the end zone for the first time since Ben Roethlisberger was Pittsburgh's quarterback. Despite some cryptic Instagram posts, Pickens is still the wide receiver I most want to roster from the Steelers’ offense. If the Pickens' owner in your league is panicking over the potential re-emergence of Johnson, I’d be keen on trying to swing a deal for Pickens after a down week.

Odell Beckham Jr., WR, Ravens. Beckham finally found the end zone for the first time in his Ravens career in Week 9, but it’s hard to see that trend continuing. He has not been a factor for almost the entire season, and he won’t find a surplus of volume anytime soon. He’s still a player with a highly notable name who, similar to Darnell Mooney, could potentially be worked into a more significant deal. The Baltimore wide receiver you want to be rostering for the stretch run remains Zay Flowers.
