We're still early in the 2024 fantasy football season, but that doesn't mean that you should wait on making trades to improve your squad. One trade could turn your season around given the week-to-week nature of the game.

So let's do some buying low and selling high ahead of Week 4 in the NFL as we get ready to see if your team is a contender or a pretender. Hopefully, this will help you be a contender.

Here's a list of players who you should either trade for or trade away this week as you take a look at your lineup:

1. WR Jayden Reed, Green Bay Packers: Trade for

Hey you know, who's coming back soon? Jordan Love. That means Reed could be a WR1 again.

2. RB Kyren Williams, Los Angeles Rams: Trade away

I'm just not buying in. The yardage has been OK save for last week's 89 against the 49ers. He's no seeing that many targets, and you wonder if the touchdowns are sustainable.

3. QB Derek Carr, New Orleans Saints: Trade for

He put up a dud in a very good spot against the Eagles. But this offense is legit and Carr will continue to benefit. Perfect time to buy low.

4. WR Garrett Wilson: Trade for

The fact that he hasn't had over 60 yards in any game this season is disconcerting. No matter. That touchdown in Week 3 is proof the Jets want to get him the ball. Buy the dip!

5. WR Davante Adams, Las Vegas Raiders: Trade away

A tricky proposition given his 40 yards in Week 3. But you can point out he's amassed 27 targets in three games. Maybe that helps.

6. WR DeAndre Hopkins, Tennessee Titans: Trade away
