Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Players to Buy

Alvin Kamara (RB – NO)

Alvin Kamara posted 99 rushing yards on 19 carries with six catches on 9 targets with 25 yards to boot. But no scores for AK41. However, he was targeted 4 times in the red zone. With his usage super encouraging over the last two weeks, it’s just a matter of time till Kamara pops off a multi-TD game. Buy.

Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR – DET)

Amon-Ra St. Brown was on a pitch count (32% snap share) which resulted in just four catches for 18 yards in 6 targets in Week 5. Josh Reynolds took advantage, commanding 10 targets, six catches, and 92 receiving yards while playing all the snaps. But it shouldn’t be ignored that when ASB was running routes, Jared Goff was peppering his No. 1 wideout. 38% target rate per route run, 6% percentage points higher than his target rate entering Week 5 (32%). Buy him while he’s coming off the bye week. He’ll be healthy and help you toward your playoff run.

Joe Mixon (RB – CIN)

Time to buy low on Joe Mixon. He only had 8 carries in this game, his lowest output of the season. Just 13 touches overall. Still a 76% opportunity share. Even though the fact that this massive Bengals victory came at the expense of Mixon’s volume, I don’t think that spells doom The team shifted to more shotgun and that led to a high-octane passing attack. But Mixon’s efficiency on the ground increased – 5.6 yards per attempt the last two weeks – while he maintained a role in the passing game (4 targets per game).

And quarterback Joe Burrow himself said that the team found its identity in their road win, which foreshadows a more efficient Mixon ROS. If you can get someone who is only concerned about Mixon’s carry total, I’d be a buyer. A solid schedule is approaching – Atlanta, Cleveland, and Carolina.
