WR · LAR
Puka Nacua
Seven points in Melbourne on a Thursday. The target tree is still his. Week 2 is the Giants at home. Buy the ugly opener while rooms are still staring at the 27-7.

The Market
The opener moves prices. Buy the names whose rooms overreacted to one ugly night. Sell the names whose rooms just watched a carnival. This sits next to Hot 'n' Cold and Trade. Pictures live on the player pages. The recap lives on The Recap.
Buy low
Pay the dip.
QB · NE
Drake Maye
Three fourth-quarter picks in Seattle. The arm and the rushing still play. Pittsburgh visits in Week 2. Pay a discount, keep the long view.
WR · NE
A.J. Brown
High-ankle sprain, boot, three-to-four weeks. IR him if the league allows it. Contenders can buy the missed month.
RB · NE
TreVeyon Henderson
Missed the opener. The market already treated him like a ghost. The talent is still a Patriot backfield.
QB · LAR
Matthew Stafford
One half in Australia. Davante and Puka are still in the building. Monday night against the Giants is a cleaner stage.
TE · SF
George Kittle
Two catches, twelve yards, Achilles in the rearview. Shanahan metered him. That is a plan, and plans expire.
RB · LAR
Kyren Williams
The Melbourne box score is cold. The role is the same. Buy from someone who watched Thursday and closed the tab.
QB · SEA
Sam Darnold
Hip, out in Arizona. Lock starts. Superflex rooms can buy the weeks after the MRI.
Sell high
Take the overpay.
RB · CHI
D'Andre Swift
Three scores and 124 yards in a 59-point game. Someone in your league now believes he is a top-five back. Take the overpay.
QB · NO
Tyler Shough
410 yards in a 21-0 hole. Superflex adds him. If a manager offers a real QB2 plus a pick, listen.
RB · CHI
Kyle Monangai
A 61-yard score on ten carries next to Swift. Fun tape. Fragile role. Sell the spike.
QB · MIN
Carson Wentz
A comeback in Green Bay already has people writing poems. The job is still a committee of circumstances.
RB · HOU
David Montgomery
Three scores in a loss to Buffalo. Houston will score again. The touchdown luck will calm down.
K · CHI
Cairo Santos
Every streamer list in the country just printed his name. If someone wants to trade a skill piece for a kicker, let them.

FAQ
How The Market is built.
What is The Market?
A buy-low and sell-high board after Week 1. The names come from the opener, the waiver mash, and the rest-of-season lists.
Is this Hot 'n' Cold?
Hot 'n' Cold is the dynasty tape. The Market is the week-after trade board. Both listen to the same Sunday.
