Week 4 Fantasy Football Players to Trade For (Condensed Table)
These are the top fantasy players to target for trading in Week 4 of the 2025 season:
| Player | Team | Pos | Trend | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jake Ferguson | Dallas Cowboys | TE | Target spike | Buy-Low |
| Woody Marks | Houston Texans | RB | Opportunity rising | Buy-Low |
| Cam Skattebo | New York Giants | RB | Lead-back usage | Buy-Low |
| Keenan Allen | Los Angeles Chargers | WR | Heavy targets | Buy for Contenders |
| Nick Chubb | Houston Texans | RB | Role erosion risk | Sell-High |
| Keon Coleman | Buffalo Bills | WR | Volatility | Sell-High |
| Tre Tucker | Las Vegas Raiders | WR | Peak after spike week | Sell-High |
Jake Ferguson | TE | Cowboys | Top Trade Target of The Week
In the world of the tight end position, sometimes you are required to start anyone with a pulse. Fear not, as a new TE1 is emerging in Dallas—Jake Ferguson. Ferguson was hyper-targeted by Dak Prescott on Sunday, securing 13 of his 14 targets for 82 yards in a 31-14 loss to the Bears. Ferguson has been the safety blanket for Prescott while leading the team in receptions and targets. With the news that Ceedee Lamb is expected to miss three to four weeks with a left high ankle sprain, Ferguson will continue to thrive.
Woody Marks | RB | Texans | Week 4 Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Coming out of USC, I was very high on Woody Marks due to his pass catching ability. Before USC, Marks was at Mississippi State where he set a school record for most receptions (60) by a freshman and most by a running back in a season. In fact, over his college career Marks accumulated 261 receptions. Houston obviously also liked Marks as they traded up in the draft to acquire him. With the uncertainty of Joe Mixon and the ineffectiveness of Nick Chubb, Marks will get his opportunity. Buy Marks now before his price increases.
Cam Skattebo | RB | Giants | Week 4 Running Back Advice to Trade For
Arguably, this will be one of the toughest trade targets of the week. The fantasy community is split on Cam Skattebo. If you have interacted with me in any way, you know that I am a Skattebo believer. Skattebo took over as the Giants’ lead back following an injury to Tyrone Tracy and was heavily involved. Skattebo totaled 121 yards and a touchdown on 16 touches. On Monday’s Dynasty Nerds episode, the crew talked heavily about Skattebo and I love their trade scenario of tiering down from Chase Brown to obtain Skattebo. Also discussed was trading Skattebo for a 2026 1st which I would also have no issues doing if I was a contender.
Keenan Allen | WR | Chargers | Week 4 Trade Advice for Contenders
It is not often that I advocate trading for a 33-year-old wide receiver, but there are exceptions to that rule. Keenan Allen is that exception. Going into Week 4, Allen is the WR6 in fantasy points per game, saw double-digit targets in two of his first three games, and caught a receiving touchdown in every game this year. While the touchdowns will most likely regress, Allen’s target share should not. If you are a contender, Allen should be a wide receiver target. His current value is a second round pick.

Nick Chubb | RB | Texans | Week 4 Sell-High Candidate
In his prime, Nick Chubb was one of the most dominant running backs in the NFL. Unfortunately, numerous knee injuries have zapped the explosive running style that he once had. While Chubb is leading the Texans in carries and rushing yards, he is beginning to lose carries to rookie Woody Marks, who has continued to see an increase in snaps and rushing attempts. I would target the James Conner or Najee Harris manager who may be desperate and willing to negotiate. In terms of compensation, I would attempt a third-round pick but would settle for a fourth.

Keon Coleman | WR | Bills | Week 4 Wide Receiver Trade Away Advice
In Week 1, Keon Coleman exploded for 8 receptions, 112 receiving yards, and 1 touchdown. Many labeled that as Coleman’s breakout, but since that time, Coleman has had back-to-back 5-fantasy-point performances. The Buffalo offense will revolve around James Cook and Josh Allen, with Dalton Kincaid, Khalil Shakir, and Coleman all being the hot hand approach at receiver. Coleman’s trade value still maintains a 1st round pick, as it was evident in the Dynasty Nerds App League seen below.
Tre Tucker | WR | Raiders | Dynasty Trade Advice for Week 4 of the NFL Season
Quick, who is currently the WR3 in fantasy points per game? It’s Tre Tucker. Tucker had a career game in Week 3 catching 8 of 9 targets for 145 yards and 3 touchdowns. This is the ultimate sell-high candidate as this rate cannot be sustainable. Now I know I mentioned him as a waiver wire candidate to roster in a previous article, let’s turn this into a positive return on your investment. Package Tucker with a 1st round pick or two to tier up for a receiver that may have not gotten off to the best start in 2025 but is still someone that you believe in. Drake London, Ladd McConkey, or Brian Thomas are some potential options.

FAQ | Week 4 Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Should I trade for Jake Ferguson in dynasty fantasy football?
Yes. His Week 3 target surge (13 receptions) and short-term vacated targets make him a prime buy-low TE for Week 4.
Is Woody Marks a real buy or just a stash?
A real buy. Pass-game chops + upward snap/attempt trend give him near-term upside if the backfield shifts.
Is Cam Skattebo worth tiering down for?
Yes, if you can pivot from a pricier RB (e.g., Chase Brown) into Skattebo + a pick, especially if you need 2025 production.
Should contenders trade for Keenan Allen?
If you’re pushing chips in, his bankable volume profile fits a contender’s window, even if TDs regress.
Is it time to sell Nick Chubb in dynasty?
If the workload narrows or cedes to a rookie, moving now for a pick makes sense before the window closes.
Should I cash out on Keon Coleman after a slow two-game stretch?
If the market still pays a 1st, consider off-loading in builds that value stability over spike weeks.
Is Tre Tucker a classic sell-high?
Yes. Turn the spike into a tier-up package for a more stable WR you believe in.
