Players to Trade
The gap is closing between Nico Collins and Brandin Cooks. Over the last month, Collins has more receiving yards than Cooks. Each saw 6 targets in Week 5. Sell high while Cooks maintains his perceived status as the clear-cut No. 1 WR in Houston.
Slowly but surely, the Bears are throwing the ball more. Justin Fields hit a new season high in passing attempts against the Commanders (27) and peppered Darnell Mooney with 12 targets (46% target share). Mooney also saw 121 air yards. He did not finish as the Bears leading WR as No.2 wideout Dante Pettis converted his 7 targets into four catches and 84 receiving yards, plus a score. Still, I’d be looking to sell high on Mooney with tough matchups versus the Patriots and Dallas coming up. Not to mention, Fields is dealing with a shoulder injury.
No Myles Gaskin for Miami meant Raheem Mostert RB1 season continued on an 80% opportunity share. 14 carries for the older RB for 49 yards and zero TDs. He was targeted twice and had one catch because he ran a route on fewer than 50% of dropbacks. Chase Edmonds also had two targets, but just one carry. However, Mostert’s injury history precedes him. And he’s 30 years old. I’d cash out now.
