Although there’s still plenty of football left to be played, for us fantasy football folk, we’re already at mid-season. This means that unless you’re the Nostradamus of pigskin, you likely have some tough decisions to make if you want to make a post-season run.
My primary team is sitting at an ugly 2-5, and trust me, I’m ready and willing to cut the cord on some huge names if need be.
Here are five guys you should consider trading away immediately if you can get close to 90 cents on the dollar.

Fantasy Football: 5 Players To Trade Right Now
Andrew Luck - Quarterback - Colts
My No. 1 pick this year has all the talent in the world. However, it's his offensive line that's killing him, a line analysts have said could be among the worst all-time.
It's hard to make passes, yet alone complete them when you have no time to throw.
Luck is in a great division to put up points, and he will still continue to do so, but not at last year's clip.
Currently, Luck ranks 15th in the league in scoring (6 pt. TD leagues) among QBs -- that means Kirk Cousins, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Blake Bortles all have better numbers.
See if you can get Philip Rivers or Carson Palmer. Luck is such a huge name, someone might bite.

Danny Woodhead - Running back - Chargers
As expected, it's another season of intermittent breakout surrounded by a cloud of mediocrity for Woodhead.
The former Patriots star is coming off a big week against Oakland in which he scored 21 points, but what many might not realize is that many of those points came towards the end of the game during garbage time.
Sure, points are points. But currently Woodhead ranks as the 6th best fantasy running back. SIXTH!
No way he keeps up the pace, especially if Melvin Gordon finds his footing.

DeMarco Murray - Running Back - Eagles
Expected to be an integral part of the beast that was to be the unstoppable Philly offense, Murray has been a big dud.
The first-second round pick this season has only put up 67 points this season, just two above his partner-in-crime Ryan Mathews.
With a questionable line and offensive scheme that doesn't seem to be adjusting, Murray will still put up points but he's not going to be the scoring machine many of us thought he would be before the season.

Joseph Randle - Running Back - Cowboys
Randle was expected to run away (pun intended) with the starting RB job in Dallas this year. So far, he's only had one solid game (27 pts against Atl in week 3). Now, he's dealing with an oblique injury and one of his teammates appears to have stepped up huge in his absence.
Darren McFadden -- you know, former top prospect and still not too old Darren McFadden -- ran all over the Giants Sunday for 152 yards and 2 TDs. Which means, it's more likely than not he'll get a majority of the workload in the immediate future.
Cowboys fans are everywhere, but if you can find someone who is in love with Randle, it might not be too late to make a fair deal.

Ryan Tannehill - Quarterback - Dolphins
Sure, he's been amazing. Tanny has a new coach, a serious weapon in Jarvis Landry and broke the league record for most consecutive completions (25). But he still currently ranks 9th among QBs in fantasy points and his upcoming schedule is brutal.
@NE, @Buf, @Phi, Dal, @NYJ -- aside from Dallas, all teams that rank in the top 14 in pass defense.
Sell now, while he's hot! .... Tannehill's game that is, not Tannehill himself ... you know what I mean.
