Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Christian Watson (WR – GB)

Romeo Doubs led the team in routes run (79%), followed by Jayden Reed (65%) in Week 2. Again, we saw Jordan Love spread the target wealth. But through two games, Reed owns a team-high 25% target share and 30% air yards share. His weighted opportunity is the same as DK Metcalf. The talented rookie is a massive buy for me. Some might be concerned about Chrisitan Watson’s return, but Reed’s role in the slot will remain the same with Watson back in the lineup. Watson will impact the other Packers WRs like Doubs. And speaking of Watson…he’s also a major trade for target. Again, his concern entering the year was tied to Jordan Love being good. I think through two weeks where Love has tossed 6 TDs, we should be confident he can support Watson – who was viewed as the clear frontrunner in the Packers WR room. I know he is coming off an injury, but he’s young and returned to success after injuries last season. Reed and Watson are guys I will be targeting in draft before Week 3.

Especially given the Packers’ knack for dialing up some large passing plays that have not been able to connect on. But that’s Watson’s bread and butter, so I’d expect he steps right into seeing those high-value downfield looks. Many of those went to Wicks in Week 2, but he didn’t capitalize enough.

Isiah Pacheco (RB – KC)

Isiah Pacheco carried the ball 12 times for 70 yards, but just 2 targets. Not Ideal receiving usage, but all other KC RBs combined for two carries. And his snap rate (51%) and route participation were encouraging compared to Week 1. I’d be a buyer of Pacheco ahead of a matchup versus the lowly Chicago Bears. It’s the perfect spot for Pacheco.

Mike Williams (WR – LAC)

Keenan Allen (8-111-2), Mike Williams (8-83-0) both dominated in Week 2.
Most surprising is that Allen scored the TDs…while Williams saw the most targets (13, 33% target share). Williams hasn’t had the true BOOM game, but the Vikings defense might be the perfect cure he needs to EXPLODE.
