Players to Buy or Sell

Amari Cooper (WR – CLE)
The consensus on Sunday that Cooper was in a smash spot against Baltimore never came to fruition. He finished with three catches for 74 yards and was only targeted four times. A closer look shows that Cooper was flagged for OPI that negated a long reception, and that he currently ranks 11th among receivers with 8.4 targets per game. Prior to Sunday, Cooper had back-to-back outings where he garnered 12 targets as well. With Deshaun Watson‘s return looming large, Cooper may have himself quite a stretch run. With David Njoku out, that opens up a few targets and some potential for an increased red zone role. If you have someone like Courtland Sutton – a good receiver on a terrible offense – you should be looking to trade him for Cooper.

DJ Moore (WR – CAR)
Could things finally be turning around for DJ Moore? The veteran receiver had his best performance of the year in Week 7, catching seven of 10 targets for 69 receiving yards and his first touchdown of the season. More importantly, Moore had his fourth straight game with seven or more targets. Now that Christian McCaffrey and Robbie Anderson reside in the NFC West, Moore is the offense for Carolina. Hopefully, he gets traded to Green Bay, but that seems unlikely. Nonetheless, I would happily give up a wide receiver like Curtis Samuel and another piece, if necessary, to acquire Moore.

Khalil Herbert (RB – CHI)
Herbert is getting more and more workload in this run-first offense. However, it’s not just volume. He has been one of the most elusive running backs this season. Herbert is averaging 6.2 yards per attempt. And, prior to facing the Patriots on Monday Night Football, was amassing a staggering 3.1 rushing yards after contact. Herbert is good. And the secret will be out shortly. Therefore, use this buy-low window to acquire him for A.J. Dillon or even a flex-worthy wide receiver like Zay Jones. Herbert is still also available in over half of sleeper leagues, so he could be on your Waiver Wires still.

Daniel Jones (QB – NYG)
Daniel Jones is currently the QB9 through seven weeks but is rostered in only 35 percent of fantasy leagues. Jones is the ideal streaming option for the Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert managers this week as he goes up against the Seattle Seahawks defense that surrenders 19 fantasy points per game to QB this season which ranks as the 10th worst. His passing numbers are not impressive, but his rushing upside provides 50 yards per game and three scores on the ground. With his WR corp getting healthy, Jones should also see an uptick in the passing game. Get Daniel Jones for this week if you are suffering with Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson as your QB. He can even be a viable streaming option after his Week 9 bye when Jones takes on the Houston Texans and the Detroit Lions in plus matchups.
