Fantasy football buy low, sell high: 10 trade targets for Week 11

The NFL trade deadline has passed, but fantasy managers likely still have time to pull off a few deals to bolster their rosters down the stretch.
It might be a little more difficult in non-keeper leagues to land that big-name player, but even in redraft formats, all it takes is a little creativity and foresight to pull off a winning trade. From players who've just come back from injury or have favorable schedules down the stretch, you can always find some interesting targets if you know where to look.
Here are some players whose values are trending upward (or downward) as a result of their performances in Week 10:
Fantasy football players to buy for Week 11
TE T.J. Hockenson, Minnesota Vikings: After a relatively quiet first game in his return from major knee surgery, Hockenson racked up a team-leading eight receptions on nine targets Sunday for 72 yards. It won't take much for him to get back to TE1 status, and he appears well on his way.

WR Calvin Ridley, Tennessee Titans: Whether it's Will Levis or Mason Rudolph at quarterback, Ridley just keeps producing. He's seen at least eight targets in all five of Tennessee's games since the Week 5 bye, culminating with a two-TD performance on Sunday. Plus, his matchups are excellent every week the rest of the way.
WR John Metchie III, Houston Texans: Metchie rolled up five catches for a game-high 74 yards and a touchdown against the Lions. Top wideout Nico Collins should be back next week, but the Texans survived with three quality receivers before, and there is a role for Metchie even when Collins returns.
RB Austin Ekeler, Washington Commanders: Ekeler took advantage of Brian Robinson Jr.'s extended absence as the clear-cut top option ahead of Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez. The veteran scored twice and looked a lot like the guy who was a fantasy staple for years with the Chargers.
RB Audric Estime, Denver Broncos: The rookie from Notre Dame carried the load with Javonte Williams' role (one carry, two receptions) greatly reduced. There were signs of change in Week 9, but Denver completely shuffled the deck Sunday in Estime's favor. He could have low-end RB2 value going forward.
Fantasy football players to sell for Week 11
WR CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys: We've seen this before. When a stud receiver loses his quarterback to injury, even a top option takes a giant fantasy hit. Lamb’s fantasy production is going to suffer the rest of the season with either Cooper Rush or Trey Lance under center for the punchless Cowpokes.
WR Gabe Davis, Jacksonville Jaguars: Davis managed just a single reception on four targets Sunday, and he has just two catches for 32 yards in the past three games. With the exception of one big game, Davis' move to Jacksonville has been a nightmare so far.
RB Jordan Mason, San Francisco 49ers: Mason was limited to just a single touch, and his fantasy value is now over with Christian McCaffrey back. With CMC’s propensity for injury, don’t cast aside Mason just yet. But he won't be worth starting, even in deeper leagues.
RB Najee Harris, Pittsburgh Steelers: Harris was stuck in neutral vs. Washington, averaging just 2.5 yards per attempt. He did find the end zone, which is obviously good, but he managed just 53 yards. Jaylen Warren averaged 4.7 yards on his 14 carries, which is a bad trend for Harris if it continues.
RB Roschon Johnson, Chicago Bears: When the Bears traded Khalil Herbert to Cincinnati, Johnson figured to see a larger role behind D’Andre Swift. That hasn't materialized. He managed just two total touches for a single yard in Week 10 against the Patriots.
