Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Players to Sell

Austin Ekeler (RB – LAC)
Austin Ekeler‘s snap rate (63% vs 49% in Wk 1) and route participation (62% vs 38%, Wk1) increased substantially in Week 2 likely due to the Chargers having to play catch up towards the end of the game.

Ekeler racked up a ton of receptions in the second half – 8 out of his 9 receptions.

But the constant effort to get guys like Sony Michel and Josh Jacobs might hurt Ekeler’s fantasy value in the long term. Especially considering we are starting to see those guys get work inside the 20. Michel earned a goal-line carry, and Kelley had another RZ touch. Ekeler’s not totally sunk – still had two RZ carries plus two targets inside the 10. But his overall volume won’t be the same as last season when he scored 20 TDs. I’d be looking to flip him for another stud RB that isn’t seeing as much of a work split load or for an elite WR.

Alvin Kamara (RB – NO)
Alvin Kamara totaled just 12 touches for 42 yards in Week 1, while backfield teammate Mark Ingram had 5 for 27. Kamara’s egregiously large workload was going to come down after last season, and that’s exactly how we saw things play out.

Recall, AK41 averaged 15 touches per game when in use in tandem with a healthy Mark Ingram last season.

24.2 touches without Ingram.

If that doesn’t change, Kamara’s production won’t meet that of fantasy RB1. Not to mention, he’s dealing with this rib cartilage injury that kept him completely out of Week 2 and could further limit his touches in future weeks.

Najee Harris (RB – PIT)
In Week 1, Najee Harris totaled just 12 touches for 26 yards on a 59% snap share. He also left the game with an injury. In Week 2, Harris played 71% of the snaps and totaled 20 touches for 99 yards while healthy. He only played in 2 games while 100% healthy last season with a sub-75% snap share.

Without elite volume on Harris’ side, I’d be looking to try and move the Steelers’ RB1 — even at an ADP loss. Because things could get worse if the injury is reaggregated and he is unable to maintain a heavy workload. His offensive environment also provides him no favors.
