Players to Trade For | Week 11 Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Tory Horton | Seahawks | Week 11 Wide Receiver Fantasy Trade Targets for Rebuilders
With the recent trade of Rashid Shaheed to the Seattle Seahawks, this may open up a buying window on Tory Horton. Horton sat out Week 10 for the Seahawks with an injury. Cooper Kupp‘s injury history is something to monitor with his age, and Shaheed is set to be a free agent in 2026.
Horton has the possibility of the no. 2 option in this offense behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba as early as next year. A move that I would love to make is Aaron Jones for Tory Horton. Jones will be 31 in December while still showing fantasy production for any contending team needing a running back for their playoff push.
Ricky Pearsall | 49ers | Week 11 Wide Receiver Fantasy Trade Target for Rebuilders
We are far enough into the fantasy season that managers should have a solid understanding of their teams. Garret and Rich highlighted Ricky Pearsall as a target on a recent #NerdHerd episode. Pearsall is only 25-years old and has the opportunity to be the no. 1 receiver in this offense in 2026. George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey are not getting any younger, and Jauan Jennings and Brandon Aiyuk’s futures with the team are muddled.
I would approach the Pearsall manager and offer my 2nd round pick, which should be earlier if I am a rebuilder. In terms of aging running backs, I have David Montgomery significantly close in my dynasty ranks to Pearsall, or also try Chase Brown, who has been a trade-away candidate for me for weeks. Capitalize on your leaguemates’ frustration with Pearsall.
Oronde Gadsden | Chargers | Week 11 Tight End Target for Contenders and Rebuilders
All right, I gave you some names for rebuilding teams, but what about a team that is contending? Good news: Oronde Gadsden is a trade target for both contending and rebuilding teams. In our Dynasty Nerds consensus ranks, Gadsden is currently TE9, and some could argue he should be even higher. Gadsden has not seen fewer than five targets in a game since Week 5.
I would have no reservations in trading away my mid-to-late 1st round pick to acquire Gadsden, as having a productive tight end is always an advantage over your opponents. Gadsden’s injury is something to monitor as more news is released.

Players to Trade Away | Week 11 Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Jacoby Brissett | Cardinals | Week 11 Quarterback to Trade Away for Rebuilders
How quickly can opinions change? Just last week, Jacoby Brissett looked like he could keep the Arizona Cardinals afloat for the season as Kyler Murray was placed on Injured Reserve. However, at halftime Sunday, Arizona was down 38-7 to its division rivals, the Seattle Seahawks, before finishing with a final score of 44-22. Brissett managed 19.4 fantasy points, and heading into Monday Night Football, he is currently the QB10 for the week.
Brissett has at least 19 fantasy points and multiple touchdowns in each of his 3 games, so he does have value to contending teams in need of a QB2 or backup in case of injury. With the fantasy playoffs and trade deadlines so close, I would try to squeeze a 2nd round pick out of a contender, but settle for a 3rd round pick, as Brissett will be relegated to backup duties again in 2026.
Alvin Kamara | Saints | Week 11 Running Back To Trade Away for Contenders and Rebuilders
Alvin Kamara will go down as one of the greatest fantasy football running backs. Unfortunately, Father Time is undefeated, and it appears that his latest target is the fast-aging Kamara. Kamara had his best fantasy performance of the season in Week 10 and now enters a bye week.
You can use that as trade fuel to ship Kamara off of your fantasy rosters, as before Week 10, Kamara had failed to reach double-digit fantasy points since Week 4. I am currently shopping Kamara in our Dynasty Nerds App League for a 3rd round pick.
Marvin Mims | Broncos | Week 11 Wide Receiver to Trade Away for Contenders and Rebuilders
If you are anything like me, you get tired of trying to predict the Denver Broncos offense. In the offseason, Head Coach Sean Payton hinted Evan Engram and RJ Harvey could be the “joker” in his offense. Currently, the only receiving weapon I have any confidence in rostering on Denver would be Troy Franklin. Marvin Mims has flashed brilliance with Denver, but has not been able to stay consistent.
At this point, I would rather move on from Mims and take a flier on another receiver, which is precisely what I did in the Dynasty Nerds App league, where I traded Rich Dotson Mims for DeVaughn Vele, whose role could develop moving forward in New Orleans.
Quick-reference Table for Week 11 Fantasy Football Trade Advice
| Type | Player | Team | Ideal For | Trade Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Buy | Tory Horton | SEA | Rebuilders | Buy low while injured; could rise to WR2 behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba in 2026. |
| Buy | Ricky Pearsall | SF | Rebuilders | Young wideout with WR1 upside as veteran weapons age out in San Francisco. |
| Buy | Oronde Gadsden | LAC | Contenders & Rebuilders | Reliable TE with consistent volume and long-term dynasty stability. |
| Sell | Jacoby Brissett | ARI | Contenders & Rebuilders | Move for a 2026 2nd or 3rd before he returns to backup duty next year. |
| Sell | Alvin Kamara | NO | Contenders & Rebuilders | Capitalize on Week 10 spike; trade now before his value declines further. |
| Sell | Marvin Mims | DEN | Contenders | Unreliable production; flip for upside WR like DeVaughn Vele or a future pick. |

🧠 FAQ | Week 11 Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Q1: Should I trade for Tory Horton in dynasty fantasy football leagues?
A: Yes. Horton’s short-term injury and the Rashid Shaheed trade have opened a buy-low window. He could become the Seahawks’ WR2 as soon as next season, making him a solid rebuild target.
Q2: Is Ricky Pearsall a good dynasty stash heading into 2026?
A: Absolutely. With George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey aging and Brandon Aiyuk’s future uncertain, Pearsall could rise to the WR1 role in San Francisco by next year.
Q3: How much should I trade for Oronde Gadsden in dynasty formats?
A: A mid-to-late 1st round pick is fair value. Gadsden’s consistent target volume and top-10 tight end ranking make him one of the few long-term assets worth paying up for.
Q4: What is Jacoby Brissett worth to a contender right now?
A: With QB injuries piling up, Brissett has short-term value as a depth piece. Aim for a 2026 2nd from a desperate contender, but be happy to take a 3rd.
Q5: Should I sell Alvin Kamara after his big Week 10 game?
A: Yes. Kamara’s Week 10 spike creates perfect timing to sell high. His production is declining, and moving him now for a 2026 3rd round pick helps you avoid a value cliff.
Q6: Is it time to give up on Marvin Mims in dynasty fantasy football?
A: It might be. Mims has flashed but remains inconsistent in Denver’s offense. Contenders should move him for a receiver with clearer opportunity, like DeVaughn Vele.
