Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Players to Buy
Saquon Barkley (RB – NYG)
Saquon Barkley didn’t have a monster game like in Week 1, but still had MONSTER usage that included 24 touches for 88 yards. He dominated the Giants backfield for a second straight week with an 89% share of the team’s backfield touches. I’d be going after him in trades this week.
Still a bell cow. 89% backfield share.
Joe Mixon (RB – CIN)
Joe Mixon didn’t score for a second straight week, which may have some fantasy managers frustrated. Let them be. And take full advantage. Because for a second straight week, Mixon played 73% or more of the team’s offensive snaps to go along with 22 touches. And that’s despite the Bengals trailing throughout. His lack of receiving and 3rd-down work was way overblown this offseason. Buy him while the consensus is low on a 0-2 Bengals squad. The Jets in Week 3 figure to cure all wounds.
Javonte Williams (RB – DEN)
Everything Javonte Williams truthers want continued in Week 2. His snaps increased (65% vs 58%) and he also led team in carries (15) over Melvin Gordon (10) — unlike in Week 1. The second-year back also added 4 targets to Gordon’s one target. If the gap in usage continues to go in Williams’s favor, you’ll be glad you traded for him now versus later.
