Buy Low / Sell High: Week of August 31, 2026

Dynasty managers are always looking for edges as the preseason winds down, and market swings offer prime opportunities. Let’s cut through the noise and target this week’s best buy low and sell high candidates based on updated values and trends.

BUY LOW

Carnell Tate
Carnell TateSELL
WR · TEN3,520

down 722 Tate’s rookie summer hasn’t wowed, but he’s still the Titans’ long-term answer at WR and his price has cratered after a quiet preseason. This is a classic overreaction window — scoop him before he inevitably surges in value once he gets acclimated.

Cam Ward
Cam WardSELL
QB · TEN2,783

down 630 Ward’s preseason struggles have dynasty managers doubting, but his dual-threat upside and the Titans’ commitment to his development make him a strong “hold your nose and click buy” option. If you need a future starter, this is the time to pounce before the inevitable rookie leap.

Josh Jacobs
Josh JacobsSELL
RB · GB2,248

down 537 Jacobs’ value is at its lowest in years after a forgettable 2025 and a sluggish camp, but with Green Bay’s offense ascending and the backfield competition minimal, he remains a candidate for a bounce-back campaign. Get him now as a contending team’s RB2/flex before the “he’s back” takes return.

SELL HIGH

Mike Washington
Mike WashingtonSELL
RB · LV1,610

up 930 Washington’s preseason pop has sent his value skyrocketing, but he’s still part of a committee and the Raiders’ offense is far from settled. Cash out now before reality sets in and his role shrinks after September.

MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn LloydSELL
RB · GB1,372

up 809 Lloyd’s hype train is rolling after a few splashy preseason plays, but he’s still behind Jacobs and profiles more as a change-of-pace option. Sell to an RB-hungry manager before the timeshare headache returns to Green Bay.

Emmett Johnson
Emmett JohnsonSELL
RB · KC1,622

up 808 Johnson’s meteoric rise is fueled by camp buzz and injuries ahead of him, but this is a classic Chiefs mirage — Andy Reid backfields break hearts. Move him for a surer long-term asset while the hype is hottest.

Dynasty is a rollercoaster — buy panic, sell hype, and stay one step ahead.
