Byes will continue to make trading complicated, but you can use them to your “advantage” in one of two ways. If your team is doing well (6-1 or 5-2) and has enough depth to withstand a future bye, then be willing to acquire a lesser player who’s already had his bye for one whose bye is still upcoming. There should be a (decent) premium for players who have had their week off and a (slight) discount for those who haven’t....

Fleener and Luck built great chemistry as teammates at Stanford. Fleener the more pure, athletic receiver, coming off 51 catches for 774 yards and eight touchdowns on 92 targets.

In their defense, Graham does have one of the best matchups for fantasy tight ends this week -- not that he needs it. According to our premium Fantasy Points Allowed tables, the Dolphins are the fourth-most generous team against TEs after giving up touchdowns to Jordan Cameron, Coby Fleener (nearly twice) and some dude named Levine Toilolo. So, yeah, Graham should have fun Monday night. What other tight ends might keep pace with Graham in Week 4?...

Those who own the struggling Patriots quarterback are rightfully freaking out about his 55-percent completion rate and 8-5 TD-to-INT ratio through seven games. Those who don't own Brady are relieved, but probably also circling like vultures right now, looking to buy low on the current No. 22 fantasy QB -- but should they be?

Injuries could make the difference, especially in the Steelers-Broncos game. If Ben Roethlisberger (shoulder) is out, Denver’s $5,300 price tag doesn’t look nearly as high. Likewise, if Marshawn Lynch (abdomen) is out, Carolina’s outlook is a lot rosier.

Two of fantasy’s best quarterbacks, Justin Herbert and Patrick Mahomes, will be out of action this week. Your lineups also will be missing Austin Ekeler and Travis Kelce, among others, and that’s in addition to all the big new injury concerns (Ja’Marr Chase, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Deebo Samuel, D’Andre Swift, Michael Thomas, Darren Waller, Allen Lazard, etc.) and personnel changes (Jets RBs, Panthers RBs, Ravens RBs, etc.).

Remember, knee-jerk trades are typically a bad idea, but bold moves are crucial to righting the ship. Fantasy owners at .500 or better should not simply get complacent either.
