Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Players to Buy

Dalvin Cook (RB – MIN)

Dalvin Cook didn’t seem limited by his shoulder injury. 22 touches for 86 yards in London, but Alexander Mattison got the TD on just four touches. Woof. Still, his 85% opportunity share is a top-8 mark for a running back, so I’d be looking to buy low after he missed out on the TD score. The Bears’ run defense – last in yards allowed per game – provides the perfect bounce-back spot.

Ja’Marr Chase (WR – CIN)

Last season, Tee Higgins earned a higher target rate per route run than Ja’Marr Chase. It’s the same story this season. Higgins’ 22.4% target rate per route run is nearly identical to Chase’s this season (22.2%). Over the last three weeks, both guys are healthy and Higgins has a higher target share (25% versus 24%), air yards share (38% versus 35%) and higher points per game average (19.6 versus 11.9). Both guys should be viewed as fantasy WR1s. And Chase should be bought on the cheap if managers are concerned he is firmly the WR2 on the offense. His 100% route participation and standing as the WR2 in expected fantasy points say otherwise.

Breece Hall (RB – NYJ)

It’s happening. Breece Hall dominated the touches over Michael Carter (19 vs 11) in Week 4. He posted 17 carries versus Carter’s 9. Including the game-winning TD. Then consider his season-high 66% snap share and 63% route participation – we are COOKING with gas people. If someone in your league is still snoozing on Hall’s newfound bell-cow role, you need to BUY.
