This column is designed to quickly unearth some not so obvious things to help you... buy low and sell high.

Further, we suggest you only make a trade if you receive plenty of value in return and the deal results in an improved roster for your squad. In short, obtain players that will outperform their current perceived value while trading overrated talent. Do that and you'll be on your way to improving your roster. The perfect trade!

Owners considering trades should also consult our Rest-of-Season Rankings and Player Trade Evaluator.

In addition to the suggested targets below, Doug Martin is coming off of suspension next week, already has his BYE out of the way, and should resume feature back duties. It remains to be seen what sort of game shape Martin is in, but consider testing the trade waters and pulling the trigger if the price is right.
