Four weeks in and the NFL season is shaping up to be as unpredictable as ever. Injuries, breakout stars, and a few redemption arcs are shaking up the card market — and just like fantasy managers scour the waiver wire, savvy collectors should be combing eBay and auction houses for buying windows. For a full list of Rookie Silver Prizm PSA 10 prices visit our pre-season Fantasy Football / Prizm Silver price comparison article.
Here’s who to buy, who to stash, and who might finally reward those dusty boxes you’ve been holding onto.
Category 1: Breakouts Paying Off
Quentin Johnston
Pre-season PSA 10 Prizm Silver: $22 → Now ~$60
If you scooped Johnston when we first flagged him in Week 1, congratulations — you’ve nearly tripled your return. The 2023 first-rounder looks like he’s finally breaking out, catching 8 of 13 targets for 98 yards and his fourth touchdown of the season against the Giants. With Justin Herbert slinging him the ball, there’s still room for growth.
Romeo Doubs
Current PSA 10 Prizm Silver: <$25
Doubs exploded for 3 touchdowns in Week 4, leading the Packers with Reed sidelined. While he’s more of a short-yardage weapon, the hobby doesn’t care — touchdowns move markets. Especially when you get 3 of them. At under $25, his Prizm Silver is a no-brainer flyer.
Category 2: Solid Climbers
Bijan Robinson
Pre-season PSA 10 Prizm Silver: $87 → Now ~$100
The safest play in the hobby right now might be Bijan. He’s topped 100 scrimmage yards in every game this season, capped by a monster 181-yard Week 4. If he stays healthy, that $100 Prizm Silver could look cheap come playoff time.
Puka Nacua
Pre-season PSA 10 Prizm Silver: $86 → Recent highs $125
Puka just keeps printing. He went nuclear in Week 4 with 13 catches on 15 targets for 170 yards and his first TD of the season. Despite Davante Adams joining the Rams, Matthew Stafford’s favorite target is clear — and it’s Puka. If you can grab his Prizm Silver around $100, that’s still a sharp flip.
Category 3: Risk/Reward Stashes
Jaxson Dart
Dart made me nervous heading into Week 4, but he delivered, and now faces New Orleans, arguably the league’s worst team. If he and Cam Skattebo keep their rhythm, Dart could be one of the most hobby-friendly young QBs of the season. Worth a stash if you like upside.
Omarion Hampton
Score & Origins Rookie Autos: $50–$100
With Najee Harris out, Hampton has seized his chance. He gashed defenses for 128 yards on just 12 carries in Week 4, adding his second straight TD. Two weeks, 294 yards, and counting. Rookie autos under $100 feel like a screaming buy if he keeps this pace.
Category 4: The Journeymen Watch
Carson Wentz, Marcus Mariota, and Sam Darnold all had solid weeks. It’ll take a string of decent starts before the market cares, but if you’ve got old stash boxes of their rookies collecting dust, a hot streak could finally give you an out. Sometimes the hobby gods reward patience.
Bottom Line Strategy
- Breakouts to Buy: Johnston, Doubs
- Steady Climbers: Bijan, Nacua
- Lottery Tickets: Dart, Hampton
- Possible Sell Windows: Keep an eye on those journeymen QBs
