Fantasy Trade Market: Top Players to Buy, Sell or Hold After NFL Preseason Week 2 | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats & Rumors

Bo Nix, QB, Denver Broncos

Pre-season week 2: 8 of 9, 80 yards passing, TD; 12 rushing yards

Bo Nix seems ready for the regular season. He has certainly outperformed his quarterback competition.

In the Broncos’ second preseason game, Zach Wilson completed two of six passes for 29 yards and a touchdown, but was given a sack for a safety. Jarrett Stidham threw an interception in both of Denver’s exhibition games.

Meanwhile, Nix has completed 23 of 30 passes for 205 yards and two touchdowns in preseason play.

Keep in mind that head coach Sean Payton is calling the Broncos’ offense, which is good news for Nix. Last season, under Payton, Russell Wilson finished as QB14. He didn’t even play the final two weeks.

Nix will have some growing pains as a rookie, but in the long run he’ll be worth it if he’s stuck with Payton. If you’re in a two-quarterback or superflex league, get him now before the Broncos officially make him their starter.

Buy Nothing for: Derek Carr, Bryce Young, Kendre Miller

Jahan Dotson, WR, Washington Commanders

Pre-season week 2: 1 catch, 3 yards

Season 2023: 49 receptions, 518 yards, 4 touchdowns

You’re probably rubbing your eyes to make sure you read that name correctly. Yes, after Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn told reporters his team is “in the midst” of a search for a No. 2 wide receiver, Jahan Dotson lands on the buy list.

Despite what Quinn said, Dotson has settled into the slot, which is a good sign for his prospects in offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury’s offense.

Between 2019 and 2021, Larry Fitzgerald, Christian Kirk and DeAndre Hopkins all flourished as Kingsbury’s primary slot receiver.

Terry McLaurin will be the lead wideout in Washington, but if Dotson’s production is similar to Kirk’s, you could have a WR2 on the roster.

Buy Dotson for: Rashid Shaheed, Tyler Lockett, Mike Williams

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Seattle Seahawks

Season 2023: 63 catches, 628 yards, 4 touchdowns

While wideout Tyler Lockett is dealing with a leg injury, Smith-Njigba has strengthened his bond with quarterback Geno Smith.

Smith briefly discussed how he built a stronger bond with the second-year wideout through The Athletic’s Michael-Shawn Dugar.

“In the offseason, he reached out to me, we flew out to Miami and got a lot of one-on-one work in,” Smith said. “When things like this happen on the field, it’s just a result of all the work we put in and all the hard work he’s put in. It’s great to see him continue to grow and blossom.”

Despite the uncertainties surrounding offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb’s system as he transitions from college to pro football, executives should capitalize on the Smith-Njigba hype.

Lockett, who turns 32 in September, is already injured and could see a drop in targets as Smith-Njigba blossoms into a breakthrough year.
