Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Players to Trade

Josh Jacobs (RB – LV)
Mike Williams could get it done. I’d feel much better starting Jacobs than most RBs right now, and sending players with low floors away is always a good idea. Jacobs is an RB1, whether you like it or not. It’s more because of the fact that the running back group this year is so chaotic than Jacobs being a stud, but facts are facts. I’m targeting Jacobs because he just had his bye week and should retain RB1 value for the foreseeable future. It’s possible that you could trade an RB2 and a WR2 to get him. Something like CEH and Mike Williams could get it done. I’d feel much better starting Jacobs than most RBs right now, and sending away players with low floors is always a good idea.

Aaron Jones (RB – GB)
Jones hasn’t been great this season, but it’s not due to a lack of opportunity. He’s averaging 15 touches per game and has run well. Jones has a near league-best broken tackle percentage and averages 3.8 yards after contact. In the passing game, he’s generating 11% of his team’s targets, which is high for a running back. The only problem has been the lack of TDs. He has only two, and both came in Week 2. This will even out for him, as the Packers’ offense has nowhere to go but up. Now is a great time to buy on Jones, as he’s coming off two bad games in a row. If you can nab him for Miles Sanders or Clyde-Edwards Helaire and a WR4, do it.

Brian Robinson Jr. (RB – WAS)
Robinson is a feel-good story by making his way back from getting shot just over a month ago. That said, you need to strike while this iron is hottest. He played 47% of the snaps last Thursday, and while he managed to find paint, without that score, his fantasy day was very pedestrian. Therein lies the problem with Robinson. It isn’t that he lacks talent — quite the opposite — but Washington’s offense is abysmal. He will need snaps from inside the 10-yard line to be of value to you, and the Commanders might not be in the position to score enough to get him there. I’d be trying to get the Travis Etienne owner to make a deal with Robinson as part of the equation.
