Players to Trade For
Amon-Ra St. Brown dominated the targets (38%, 35% target rate) in the Lions’ offense while running a route on 100% of the dropbacks. But the second-year WR finished just 4 catches for 55 yards on 9 targets. He also posted a ridiculous 84% air yards share as the only target Jared Goff was considering downfield. If a manager is souring after a “meh” performance, you need to be aggressive in targeting ASB.
Gabriel Davis was inefficient for the second straight week (2 for 33) despite decent volume (5 targets). But he saw 121 air yards and played 95% of the snaps. Those are the exact peripheral numbers to chase with the Bills’ upcoming schedule featuring the Vikings, Browns, and Lions. Buy low.
With Justin Fields doing it all in Week 9, not much was left over for the RBs. David Montgomery (14 for 36) and Khalil Herbert (7 for 23). Monty also earned 2 targets for a 70% opportunity share. Monty’s dominated the snaps for two straight weeks, so the coaching staff doesn’t seem to be embracing the shift to drinking the Herbert juice. Therefore, Montgomery (and Herbert for even less) is a cheap trade-for option with the Lions, Falcons, and Packers presenting 3 of their next 4 opponents. Herbert leads the Bears in rushing yards over the last four weeks (258 vs 218) despite 17 fewer carries than Montgomery.
Brian Robinson Jr. out-carried Antonio Gibson 13 to 11, but neither averaged more than 3.5 yards per carry nor scored. Both caught 2 passes. However, Gibson out-snapped Robinson for the second straight week (58% vs 44%) while running a route on 60% of dropbacks. With no timetable on the return of J.D. McKissic, I’d still be looking to buy AG with the backfield usage trending in his direction.
