The full first week of the NFL season is just a week away, so that means you either have completed your draft or you have a very late one coming up. The final few days before the season have seen some late risers make their way onto fantasy draft boards.

If you already have selected one of these players who have stirred a buzz late in the preseason, congratulate yourself. If you missed out on one of these guys, consider making a trade.

Here are some players who are going higher in late drafts and are becoming more frequent trade targets:

Jarvis Landry: Ryan Tannehill has looked great this preseason and Landry is his go-to guy. He could see a boost in TD production and may catch between seven and nine TD passes while stacking up fine points-per-reception totals. Landry has started to go off the board as soon as the fourth round of some drafts.

Davante Adams: Among experienced players, Adams’ value has received a natural boost because of Jordy Nelson’s injury. But in leagues where everyone is not as prepared as you are, he may fall to you after the fourth round, which makes him a total gem. Adams is going as early as the third round in the most competitive leagues, though.

Arian Foster: The news on his recovery from groin surgery has been positive. Foster could return before the end of September, and if you can get him in the fifth round or have done so, you could end up with a quality return for the value. Of course, keep Alfred Blue rostered in case there are more injury issues.

Darren McFadden: He looked good enough in the Cowboys’ third preseason game to generate some added interest. McFadden lacks the power and explosion of his earlier years, but he still has a chance to be the top guy in the Cowboys backfield behind a vaunted offensive line.

Tyler Lockett: The Seahawks always seem to draft so well, and Lockett has looked like a complete dynamo in the preseason as both a receiver and returner. Take the gamble on him as a WR5, but don’t be the guy to reach for the Seahawks defense/special teams too early because of the added dimension he now brings to an already established top unit.

Chris Ivory: He has regenerated interest because he seems to be that workhorse type who may be in line to get the majority of the carries, and those are not easy to come by in fantasy football nowadays. With his explosively violent running style, though, Ivory will continue to be an injury risk, so you may want to roster Bilal Powell as a handcuff.

Sam Bradford: He came on strong late in the preseason and showed he is the ideal guy to lead a high-powered offense. If Bradford can stay on the field, he may be a top-seven fantasy QB this year. Many owners drafted him as a backup, and he could make one of your QBs trade bait if he starts hot.
