Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Players to Sell
Sell high on Austin Ekeler. He finished Week 4 with 13 carries for just 60 yards against the league’s worst run defense, but scored 3 touchdowns! However, he combined for just three more carries than Sony Michel and Joshua Kelley combined (10). Sell high. Keenan Allen coming back isn’t going to increase his target share.
Despite an 82% opportunity share in Week 4, Harris saw zero targets all game. With an absolutely brutal schedule upcoming for Pittsburgh against Buffalo, Tampa Bay, Miami, Philadelphia, Cincy and New Orleans…the time is now to get out from underneath Harris. His bulletproof role from last season isn’t the same.
Diontae Johnson was targeted just twice by Kenny Pickett in the second half. Conversely, rookie George Pickens was targeted four times for 71 receiving yards. Considering both guys are on the field for the majority of the team’s offensive passing plays, don’t be surprised to see Johnson’s target grip loosen to Pickens’ benefit with a new QB under center.
Sell Elijah Moore. First game with Wilson at QB and Moore finished fifth in targets (4). Woof. Just a 14% target share despite leading the team in routes run.
Sell high on Rashaad Penny. The dude shredded the league’s worst run defense. Next up are the New Orleans Saints. Perfect time to sell high on an injury-prone Penny with Kenneth Walker vying to eat into Penny’s workload as the season progresses.
Miami has a Chase Edmonds problem. Instead of using their prized free agent acquisition, they are opting for 30-year-old journeyman Raheem Mostert as the RB1 in the offense. Edmonds played just 28% of the snaps on Thursday night to Mostert’s 72% snap share. Mostert was running 67% of the routes and dominating touches 17 to 7. Edmonds has been able to survive off red zone touches converting to TDs the last two weeks, but that won’t last on such low volume. Sell high.
