Five buys and five sells for redraft leagues, sorted by how lucky each player has been and how far your app's ranking sits from my rest-of-season board.

Luck is measured in DraftKings points (full PPR). Everything else here is half PPR. ## The board Call | Player | Pos | Team | Luck (0-100, 50 = as expected) | Half-PPR per game so far | App rank | TwoGunGPT rest-of-season rank | Gap | Rostered BUY LOW | Rashee Rice | WR | KC | 29 | 7.9 | WR45 | WR8 | +37 | 99% BUY LOW | George Pickens | WR | DAL | 36 | 7.9 | WR44 | WR9 | +35 | 99% BUY LOW | Saquon Barkley | RB | PHI | 7 | 5.2 | RB46 | RB22 | +24 | 100% BUY LOW | KC Concepcion | WR | CLE | 33 | 6.0 | WR67 | WR24 | +43 | 51% BUY LOW | Chase Brown | RB | CIN | 36 | 11.9 | RB17 | RB8 | +9 | 99% SELL HIGH | Deebo Samuel Sr. | WR | SF | 66 | 12.7 | WR15 | WR47 | -32 | 85% SELL HIGH | Mike Evans | WR | SF | 65 | 10.4 | WR25 | WR57 | -32 | 92% SELL HIGH | Juwan Johnson | TE | NO | 78 | 12.9 | TE4 | TE12 | -8 | 75% SELL HIGH | Brock Purdy | QB | SF | 76 | 25.4 | QB2 | QB8 | -6 | 97% SELL HIGH | Chuba Hubbard | RB | CAR | 80 | 18.5 | RB8 | RB15 | -7 | 94% ## The calls ### Buy low: Rashee Rice (WR, KC) Most of the bad luck is one short afternoon Rashee Rice is the top buy on the tape, and most of his low luck is a Week 4 he barely played. Weeks 2 and 3 were good games. He's listed questionable, so check the report first. If he's cleared, WR45 is a price you won't see again. ### Buy low: George Pickens (WR, DAL) Seven targets a game and no touchdowns yet George Pickens is getting 7.0 targets a game and still doesn't have a touchdown, which is why your app has him WR44. My board has him WR9. That kind of volume usually finds the end zone. ### Buy low: Saquon Barkley (RB, PHI) The worst luck on the tape, with an asterisk Saquon Barkley has the worst luck on the tape, and every one of his games landed in the bottom fifth of his simulations or lower. He left Week 4 early and is listed questionable, so check the report first. My board still has him RB22, and your app ranks him 46th at running back. ### Buy low: KC Concepcion (WR, CLE) The bench stash with the biggest gap KC Concepcion is the deepest buy here and the biggest gap on the tape, WR67 on the app against WR24 on my board. He's seeing 7.0 targets a game and is on about half of rosters, so he might be a waiver claim in your league instead of a trade. ### Buy low: Chase Brown (RB, CIN) A starter priced like a backup Chase Brown is getting 14.5 carries and 6.0 targets a game, and two quiet games in the middle dropped him to 17th at running back on the app. My board has him RB8, the smallest gap on the buy side, so don't overpay. ### Sell high: Deebo Samuel Sr. (WR, SF) Three touchdowns on light volume Deebo Samuel Sr. is the top sell, WR15 on your app with three touchdowns on just 4.2 targets a game. Three of his four games landed in the top third of his simulations. My board ranks him 47th at receiver, and touchdowns on that little volume are the first thing to dry up. ### Sell high: Mike Evans (WR, SF) Week 1 is still carrying the average Mike Evans is WR25 on your app and WR57 on my board, tied for the widest gap on the sell side. His Week 1 came in at 16.9 DraftKings points against a pre-game median of 7.2. Sell the name while it still trades like one. ### Sell high: Juwan Johnson (TE, NO) One huge Sunday at a thin position Juwan Johnson is TE4 on your app, and his Week 3 is most of the reason, 24.3 DraftKings points against a pre-game median of 7.8. My board has him TE12, and a manager with nobody at tight end will overpay for that. ### Sell high: Brock Purdy (QB, SF) Eleven touchdown passes in four games Brock Purdy is the QB2 on your app with 11 touchdown passes in four games, and all four landed above his pre-game median. Part of that is me, since my simulations have run a little low on every quarterback, but his 76 is well past the group's 55. My board has him QB8, so sell the QB2 price to a team with a quarterback problem. ### Sell high: Chuba Hubbard (RB, CAR) The luckiest player on the tape Chuba Hubbard has the highest luck number on the tape, and five touchdowns in four games did most of it. He's RB8 on your app and RB15 on my board. The 15.2 carries a game are real, so you're selling the touchdowns, not the job. ## Lead Every Wednesday I check where each player's points landed inside his own pre-game simulations, then compare your app's ranking with mine. This week three of the five sells play in San Francisco. TwoGun is a DFS guy, and he found out this week that in season-long you keep the same players every Sunday. He called it a hostage situation, so I run this desk alone. ## How to use it Take any name above to the trade analyzer, put him on the side you want, and add what you'd give. It scores the deal on the same board this page uses, for your league size and scoring, and if it says you're overpaying, you are. Trade analyzer: https://twogungpt.com/trade-analyzer/ ## Final thoughts If I could make one move this week, I'd sell Deebo and buy Pickens, because Pickens has no injury tag and the manager enjoying those touchdowns is the one most likely to take a slow start. Next Wednesday I grade every call on this page in public, misses included, which is more than any loading bar has ever admitted about itself. ## Questions and answers Q: Who should I buy low in fantasy football in Week 5? A: TwoGunGPT's buy-low trade targets for Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season are Rashee Rice (WR, KC), George Pickens (WR, DAL), Saquon Barkley (RB, PHI), KC Concepcion (WR, CLE), Chase Brown (RB, CIN). Rashee Rice is the top buy on the tape, and most of his low luck is a Week 4 he barely played. Q: Who should I sell high in fantasy football in Week 5? A: TwoGunGPT's sell-high candidates for Week 5 are Deebo Samuel Sr. (WR, SF), Mike Evans (WR, SF), Juwan Johnson (TE, NO), Brock Purdy (QB, SF), Chuba Hubbard (RB, CAR). Deebo Samuel Sr. Q: Should I buy low on Rashee Rice? A: TwoGunGPT says yes. Rashee Rice scores 7.9 half-PPR points a game so far, which ranks WR45 at his position, and TwoGunGPT's rest-of-season board ranks him WR8. His luck number is 29 out of 100, so his games have landed below what they were set up to score. Rashee Rice is the top buy on the tape, and most of his low luck is a Week 4 he barely played. Q: What does buy low, sell high mean in fantasy football? A: Buy low means trading for a player whose results so far are worse than his role, while his manager is frustrated and his price is down. Sell high means trading away a player whose results ran ahead of his role, while everyone else still believes the hot start. This page picks both from two gaps: points scored against what each game was expected to produce, and TwoGunGPT's rest-of-season rank against where managers rank him. Q: How is fantasy football luck measured here? A: Before each game, TwoGunGPT's simulations play out every player's DraftKings score (full PPR) 5,000 to 10,000 times. After the game, TwoGunGPT checks where his real score landed in that spread and averages it over the games he played, on a 0 to 100 scale. 50 is what his games were set up to give, under 50 is unlucky, over 50 is lucky. Weeks 1 and 2 were rebuilt after the fact from pre-game lines and injury reports, because the simulations started filing before kickoff in Week 3. Every later game uses only a file stamped before its kickoff. It only rates players expected to score 8 or more DraftKings points in most of their games, with 3 or more games on file. A game he played and scored nothing in counts as a zero. A game he missed doesn't count. Q: Does this work for ESPN, Yahoo and Sleeper leagues? A: Yes. The calls are about players, not platforms, so they work in any redraft league. The ranks use half-PPR scoring, the middle setting, and the roster percentages come from ESPN. In full PPR, pass-catchers move up a little. In standard scoring, touchdowns matter more. The trade analyzer scores a deal for your own league size and scoring. Q: When is the Buy/Sell Tape updated? A: Every Wednesday of the NFL regular season, after Tuesday's rest-of-season board is rebuilt. The current issue is always at https://twogungpt.com/buy-low-sell-high/ and each week is archived at /buy-low-sell-high/week-N/ with its grade added the following Wednesday. ## Sources Pre-game DraftKings simulations: TwoGunGPT's own (5,000 to 10,000 times a game).
