Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Derrick Henry aka the Big Dog eats for 80 rushing yards and 1 TD on 25 carries. Three catches on four targets and 15 yards. Saw his snaps climb back up to 71% after a low rate in Week 1. 28 total touches.
No.2 RB Tyjae Spears more than doubled his touches from a week ago, totaling 10 (8 carries, two receptions). Efficient rushing the ball eight times for 49 rushing yards (37% snap share). The fact that Spears is this involved alongside a healthy Henry just tells you how talented and excited the team is for him. Think Spears’ constant involvement will cause issues for Henry sooner rather than later.
Jahmyr Gibbs is going to have an INCREASED ROLE. The rookie saw just seven carries for 17 yards. But the receiving role DID get a major boost from Week 1. Team-high nine targets (26%) for 7 receptions and 39 yards. 59% route participation and a 48% snap share.
Have to imagine Gibbs’ role will only increase based on the injury to David Montgomery (left game on the cart, 45% snap share). Craig Reynolds is the next guy up on the depth chart (waiver wire target). I don’t think we necessarily get Gibbs in an 80% snap role, so I think Reynolds has some strong streaming appeal. One of Reynold’s carries in Week 2 came at the 6-yard line. After Monty got hurt, Reynolds played on the next two first downplays. Strongly recommend adding him as he will have a decent role with Monty slated to miss several weeks. Galaxy-brain thought. Scottie Montgomery joined the Lions as assistant head coach/running backs in 2023, bringing 17 years of coaching experience throughout the NFL and college ranks. Montgomery comes to Detroit after spending two seasons as the running backs coach with the Indianapolis Colts….
Jonathan Taylor destination? Hmmm. Makes you wonder if they may add someone else. Gibbs is by no means a MUST-SELL, but I’m sure you could potentially get a hefty sum for him for managers expecting him to seize a crazy workload at sub-200 pounds. Reynolds fits the bigger Montgomery size at 216 pounds. I just find it hard to but the narrative that the Lions want to load up Gibbs with in-between-the-tackles carries when is body is not meant for it. Again, they want him to be their Alvin Kamara.
To add insult to injury, Garrett Wilson got hurt towards the end of the game. He finished with just two grabs on eight targets (32% target share). Many were off the mark or uncatchable. A lot of air yards of sadness (49%).
The only way the Jets could move the ball was to Garrett Wilson or dump off Tyler Conklin targets (5 for 50 on six targets). Backfield is impossible to trust because nobody is commanding volume and it’s going to be inefficient.
Best to get out of the Garrett Wilson business fresh of weeks where he has salvaged production with TDs. He won’t do that every week as good as he is.
