Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Tom Brady attempted 58 passes in Week 9, so all of the Buccaneers’ pass-catchers have inflated target numbers between Mike Evans (11, 5-40), Chris Godwin (10, 7-36), Scott Miller (8, 7-53) and Cade Otton (6, 5-68). Godwin has been completely peppered with targets over the last four weeks, totaling 46 targets (11.5 per game), but the production has not followed. He’s averaged just 9.6 fantasy points per game (WR35) and scored zero TDs. He’s an interesting sell candidate if you can get a strong return based on those just looking at his volume numbers and not his 50th-ranked 1.32 yards per route run the last four weeks.
A.J. Dillon mustered 11 carries for 34 yards plus 4 targets, 2 catches, and 10 receiving yards in relief of Aaron Jones, who left Week 9 with an ankle injury. Reports have been optimistic about Jones’ ankle and his availability to play this week, but let’s be real here. Ankle injuries have nuked the fantasy values of several RBs this season, and the Packers’ offense is hardly one that is creating a favorable offensive environment for its players. Dillon will force his way into touches as the healthier of the 2 RBs, making Jones a MUST-SELL before this gets ugly.
The gap is narrowing. Leonard Fournette saw just one more carry than Rachaad White (8 vs 9) in Week 9 despite out-snapping him 62% to 35%. Fournette did finish with more targets (7 vs 3) and routes (35 vs 17). But White’s 11 touches were the highest they’ve been over the past three weeks. As Lombard Lenny continues to run inefficiently – 2.1 yards per carry in Week 9 – you want to get out from underneath him and gain exposure to White wherever possible.
Dolphins RBs Raheem Mostert (9) and Jeff Wilson Jr. (9) split carries, drives, and snaps in Week 9, but Mostert scored on the ground. Wilson hit higher rushing yardage total (51 vs 26) and was more involved as a receiver with 3 targets and more routes run. He also scored through the air. It’s looking like a complete 50/50 split, with a potential slight lean towards Wilson considering it was his first game with the Dolphins and he earned a 52% opportunity share on more snaps played. But because Mostert still scored, I think he still has enough value to be traded before Week 10. That’s the move to make.
Terry McLaurin led the Commanders with nine targets in Week 9 but finished with just 5 for 56 on a 35% target share. Curtis Samuel‘s volume remained low (4 targets), but he scored and led with 65 receiving yards. Samuel has just a 15% target share in the last two games (4 per game) and 6 total receptions for 115 yards (19.1 yards per catch). Considering his late dependence on big plays, the potential return of Jahan Dotson, and a brutal matchup versus the Eagles in Week 10…I’d be selling off Samuel to the highest bidder.
Sell Mecole Hardman. He has been running hot with TDs in his last 2 games, but his scoring won’t maintain with his role in the offense. He ran a route in just 58% of Patrick Mahomes‘ dropbacks and saw just a 13% target share in Week 9.
