Buy Low
Minnesota Vikings Wide Receiver Stefon Diggs (6 pts, 66 yrds in Week 11)
This rookie from Maryland makes for a perfect deadline deal.
At the beginning of the season, he was one of the most raved about rookies, racking up 573 yards on 33 receptions and two touchdowns in just seven games, but coming off unproductive performances in each of the last two weeks, the hype over Diggs is pretty much in the dust. Over the past two games, Diggs has only reeled in eight receptions for 112 yards and zero touchdowns.
What makes Diggs fantasy value relatively high is that he is no doubt the Vikings go-to receiver. He has shown that he has the big play factor, the speed, and catching ability. It’s just the matter of getting him the pigskin.
If you’re an owner in need of a receiver, I highly recommended targeting Diggs and striking up a deal. Take advantage of his back-to-back unproductive outings and snag him for a low cost.

Oakland Raiders Running back Latavius Murray (8 pts, 28 yrds, 1 TD in Week 11)
Murray is a running back that’s having an under the radar productive season. He’s averaging 10 fantasy points per contest and he’s involved in a dynamic Raiders offense led by quarterback Derek Carr.
What makes Murray a Buy Low option for Week 12? The last three games haven’t been particularly great for Murray. Over the past three weeks, he has posted a total of 21 fantasy points and didn’t eclipse 100 yards rushing once. The factor that makes Murray a Buy Low is that he’s being consistent.
This season, Murray has tallied 60 total yards in eight of 10 games this season and has rushed for over 100 yards twice, with his best game coming in Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns. In Week 3, Murray rushed for 139 yards on 26 attempts and reached the endzone once. Over the course of the season, Murray has proved to be the feature back averaging between 11 and 20 carries per game, which represents for 69 percent of the Raiders’ carries this season. An added bonus for owners playing in touchdown base leagues is that Murray is listed at 6’3″ 230 pounds, making him a bruiser on the goaline.
Like Stefon Diggs, use Murray’s three game slump to your advantage and acquire him for a low cost if you’re in need of a running back.
