Quarterbacks are a crucial position for fantasy owners especially as teams go through their bye weeks. They are the top scoring position in fantasy so far and there is plenty of talent still sitting around on waivers to be claimed. Here are the quarterbacks to consider adding and shopping for Week 7.
Fantasy football trade advice, Week 7: Buy-low, sell-high quarterback trade candidates
What quarterbacks have the best and worst trade value heading into Week 7 of the 2016 NFL season?
Buy Low
Sam Bradford, Minnesota Vikings
Bradford is flying under the radar in most fantasy leagues, but he is playing consistently well. The sixth-year QB managed to throw 271 yards and two touchdowns in Week 5 against a tough defense without Stefon Diggs, his top deep threat. He has thrown for just under 1,000 yards this season with six touchdowns.
His body of work has room for improvement, but he faces a favorable schedule in the upcoming weeks. He could have a tough go with his former team in Philadelphia, but the Eagles did give up 263 yards and two touchdowns to Kirk Cousins on Sunday.
Bradford has potential as a streaming option through Week 10.

Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys
Prescott is having a dream rookie season in Dallas. He has thrown for 1,486 yards and seven touchdowns. He also has three rushing touchdowns and broke the throws without an interception record formerly held by Tom Brady.
Some owners may have avoided Prescott because of the potential of a QB controversy when Tony Romo returns. Well, that controversy seems to be tabled for a few more weeks as Romo is now projected to be out thru Week 9.
Prescott can still be picked up in a lot of leagues and anyone looking to deal for the QB can should be able to get him without losing any high-end performers for now.

Sell High
Carson Palmer, Arizona Cardinals
Palmer is having an average year so far compared to his 2015 season. The 13-year veteran has a little over 1,300 yards, seven touchdowns, and five interceptions. He has also been hurt dealing with a concussion and cramping of late.
Palmer still has value and can be dealt for a high-end player in almost any other position. Given his age and so-so year, now is a good time to deal the QB before he declines any further.

Eli Manning, New York Giants
It is one of those years for Manning. His entire career he has been streaky, but this season the two-time Super Bowl MVP is having major ups and downs. Overall, he has thrown 1,788 yards, eight touchdowns, and six interceptions, and he has been sacked 10 times.
Manning’s stat line is not the only reason owners should be looking to deal the QB. His next few matchups are against tough defenses. Now, would be a good time for fantasy owners to shop Manning and see what they can get.
