No matter if your fantasy football team is 2-0 or 0-2, it’s never a bad time to be thinking trade. A good fantasy football owner is a proactive fantasy football owner. You have to always be on your toes ready to snatch players off the waiver wire and find good deals on the trade market.

To find good deals, you need to find players who currently have low value but you think they are going to turn it around. Here is a list of three players who currently are struggling but should see brighter days soon.

Maurice Jones-Drew
Jones-Drew had a marvelous rookie season last year with the Jacksonville Jaguars. This season, however, has been a different story. After the first two games of the season, Jones-Drew has 101 total yards and no touchdowns. If a fantasy owner has been counting on production out of him, that owner probably isn’t off to a great start.

That said, the time to trade for him is now. His value isn’t going to go any lower. The Jaguars’ offense will get better as the season progresses and Jones-Drew will start getting more touches. While he isn’t going to be able to match his production from last year (15 touchdowns and around 1400 yards), he should be good for 1100 total yards and seven or eight touchdowns.

Lee Evans
Many people picked Evans as a wide receiver who could break out this season. Two games in and Evans is nowhere to be found. He has 22 total yards on the season as teams have paid a lot of attention to his every move.

But again, now is the time to go after the Buffalo Bills number one wide receiver. Another added bonus is you’ll have history on your side. Last season, Evans had only 44 yards in his first two games, yet finished the season with 1292 yards and eight touchdowns. This season, he should still be able to reach 1000 yards and six touchdowns despite the slow start.

Donovan McNabb
McNabb got off to a great start last season with the Philadelphia Eagles. Over the first couple months of the season, he was arguably the best fantasy quarterback in the NFL. However, he cooled off a bit and then blew out his knee.

This season, McNabb is off to a cold start. He has only one touchdown and it’s obvious that he’s still hampered by his knee injury. Nonetheless, now is a good time to trade for McNabb. Once he regains confidence in his knee, he’s going to see his numbers improve dramatically.
