6 Players Whose Stocks Are Moving in Week 5 (+ Buy Low/Sell High Candidates)

One well-timed trade can still change your season. Kendall Valenzuela, Dwain McFarland and Peter Overzet go through the fantasy football players whose utilization moved going into Week 5 — and what's actually driving each one.

Kyren Williams climbs all the way to a low-end RB1, and RJ Harvey rises to RB3 with RB2 upside. At receiver, Tetairoa McMillan moves up to a high-end WR2, Michael Wilson to a low-end WR2 and Malik Nabers to a mid-range WR2. Going the other direction: Omarion Hampton falls to a high-end RB3, and the usage behind it is the part worth paying attention to.

Then the part your league isn't thinking about yet. Is Carnell Tate a buy at a price that isn't quite a bargain? And is Kyle Monangai a sell high while people still believe?

They also play Dwain-Libs on the thresholds that would move players again this week: what route share makes Jaylen Waddle a high-end WR2, what Brian Thomas Jr. becomes if he's traded to Kansas City, San Francisco or Las Vegas, and what gets Dalton Kincaid back into low-end TE1 range.

And they close with three moves to make before your league-mates get there — Dwain on Tyjae Spears and Jerry Jeudy, Pete on Tyreek Hill, Kendall on Antonio Williams.
