Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Players to Sell

Dalvin Cook (RB – MIN)

Just 13 carries for Dalvin Cook, who was a complete non-factor in the first half. 5 carries for 9 yards. But he ripped off a 53-yard TD run to save fantasy managers. Alexander Mattison had just one carry and zero targets. Worth mentioning Mattison was on the injury report this week, which probably influenced his 13% snap share and boosted Cook’s to 87%. Cook caught just one pass on one target. His receiving usage continues to leave fantasy managers wanting more. He had a 93% opportunity share in this game and didn’t have that much to show for it. Sell high

Darrell Henderson (RB – LAR)

Darrell Henderson led the backfield with 12 carries for 43 yards, adding two catches for 9 yards in 3 targets. Also scored a rushing TD. But Malcolm Brown was somewhat also involved in earning 7 carries for 15 yards (1 catch for 13 yards). Henderson didn’t play every snap (71%), so the role wasn’t as good as it was in Week 1. With the Rams a candidate to make a move at RB in lieu of the Cam Akers situation, I’d sell high on Hendo to someone that thinks he will be the RB1 rest of the season. Not to mention, after the bye week, the Rams face the 49ers and Buccaneers’ top-tier run defenses.

Ezekiel Elliott (RB – DAL)

The ground game for Dallas was ALIVE in Week 6. Ezekiel Elliott carried the rock 13 carries for 81 yards and 1 TD (one target). The yardage is nice, but the lack of receiving continues to be a major problem. As is Tony Pollard, who totaled 13 touches (11 carries, 2 receptions) – which was good for a 50% opportunity share split with Zeke. Sell high after the prime time showing with Dak Prescott making his return. That optimism should create trade suitors for Elliott.
