Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Ja’Marr Chase (WR – CIN)

No Bengals bounce back, but a rebound performance for Tee Higgins. 8 for 89 yards and two TDs on a team-high 12 targets (31% target share). That’s why we chase the air yards, folks. Another quiet day for Ja’Marr Chase as the Bengals offense continues to underwhelm. Considering where Chase went in fantasy drafts, managers might be getting irritated. Buy LOW. Higgins’ big Week 2 game shows this offense can still create big weeks for WRs. And it could have easily been Chase with the monster game, considering he saw 4 red-zone targets but came up short of finding the end zone. His lulls are not out of the ordinary, so I’d be aggressive trying to acquire him.

If Joe Burrow is healthy – aggravated his calf strain – the next stretch of games is SALIVATING. Rams, Titans, Cardinals and Seahawks. Buy the Bengals.

Travis Etienne Jr. (RB – JAC)

Travis Etienne showcased his versatility with 23 touches, 18 carries for 77 yards, one 26-yard rushing TD, and five receptions for 27 yards. Bell-cow status with an 80% snap share. Beyond elite route participation – 85%. Ran a route on 30 of 35 Trevor Lawrence dropbacks with no JaMycal Hasty in Week 1. Week 2 was not as great. The ground game was poor as Etienne went for just 40 yards on 12 carries. Also was dealing with cramps during the game. But Tank Bigsby had zero carries and played just 19% of the snaps. ETN also had three targets. 62% route participation. 72% snap share. Still, a workhorse out touching all other RBs 14 to 2. And the Texans are the ideal bounce-back matchup in Week 3.

A.J. Brown (WR – PHI)

A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith saw six and five targets, respectively, but Smith came away with the two TDs. AJB ran bad again, having one of his TDs called back due to a Penny holding penalty. Two weeks in, Brown leads the Eagles with a 30% target share, followed by Smith at 28%. But because Smith has the long completions and two TDs, he has been the Eagles fantasy WR1. But he’s not. AJB still ranks 1st on the team in expected fantasy points per game (15.4) through two games. Buy low if anybody is souring on him after a quiet Thursday night game.
