Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Jahmyr Gibbs (RB – DET)

No David Montgomery led to a big usage game for Jahmyr Gibbs. 17 carries for 80 rushing yards on a 60% snap share. Craig Reynolds earned just four for 15 carries (three of which came in the 4th quarter). Zonovan Knight out-carried Reynolds in the first half (2 vs 1) and was the next back up behind Gibbs. Knight is an interesting DFS option for the one-game Thursday night slate, as the No. 2 RB.

Gibbs only had two targets, but there wasn’t a demand given the big lead. Still, I’d view him as buy-low given his separation between the other RBs. Also, he earned four red-zone carries, but just failed to punch it in for a score. On a short week, I don’t expect Montgomery to be ready to return, slating Gibbs for another solid workload. Dan Campbell said his post-game presser that Gibbs will only get better with time and more reps. He also thought Gibbs started to heat up as the game progressed.

So, after a game where Gibbs only scored fewer than 10 fantasy points…he’s a screaming buy with the arrow pointing up.

Jaylen Waddle (WR – MIA)

Jaylen Waddle has been overshadowed by Hill and now every other Dolphin to start the year but he is coming off an 86-yard performance on just four catches in Week 2. He only has four catches in each of the first two games played but has averaged over 80 receiving yards per game. Averaging over 20 yards per reception.

Calvin Ridley (WR – JAC)

Calvin Ridley posted another disappointing game…3 for 40 on 7 targets despite 108 air yards.

Was Week 1 a mirage? I’m not overly concerned about it because it’s probably just Ridley rubbing off the rust. Again, the dude missed a lot of football the past two years. And after a great Week 1 against arguably the NFL’s worst CB duo…he’s suffered his lumps. Been plagued by drops in the end zone. False starts, mental mistakes. Just two targets in the second half of Week 3’s loss versus the Texans

But over the entire three weeks…

24% target share and 37% air yards share. 5 red-zone targets but just 1 TD. Top-10 in expected fantasy points per game.

And now the Jaguars play “host” to Ridley’s old team in London for Week 4. Can only imagine this will be an emotional game for Ridley as he faces the team that drafted and traded him.

Brandon Aiyuk (WR – SF)

With 10 days between their next game, Brandon Aiyuk is a savvy buy-low target as he presumably should be fine returning from a shoulder injury ahead of Week 4. The move after Aiyuk’s big week one was to buy Samuel. Follow the process and buy Aiyuk after a big Samuel game.
