Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Jahmyr Gibbs (RB – DET)

Week 1 for the Lions. Veteran free agent signing David Montgomery: 77% snap share, 21 touches. 12th overall rookie RB Jamyr Gibbs: 27% snap share, 9 touches.

As for Jahmyr Gibbs, it was an up-and-down debut. He flashed the explosiveness and speed that we fell in love with during the draft process, but his overall usage wasn’t there for fantasy. He earned 37% of the team’s expected fantasy value to David Montgomery‘s 63%. However, had he scored – which he easily should have done but he tripped over himself – fantasy managers wouldn’t be complaining. I was honestly not discouraged by his debut as the mainstream seems to be. Again, as steady as Montgomery is, he’s not a true difference-maker. Gibbs totaled 60 yards on 9 touches/19 snaps. 6.6 yards per touch, 3.2 yards per snap. If Montgomery had not scored, then would have posted nearly identical fantasy point totals. Gibbs totaled seven points in half-PPR. 0.37 fantasy points per snap (tied with Josh Jacobs last year). Go trade for him now.

Tee Higgins (WR – CIN)

The Bengals struggled to find their rhythm, potentially due to Joe Burrow‘s return from injury and adverse weather conditions. The guy threw for 82 yards. Just burn the tape. Especially performance by Tee Higgins. Especially Tee Higgins. Higgins is the first player since Amari Cooper to post 0 catches on 8 targets…. (2015). Cooper went 6-120-2 the following week.

Considering Higgins saw plenty of air yards…151 (64%) he is literally the definition of a BUY-LOW WR in the air yards model coming off a 95% snap share. This Ravens banged-up secondary is in for a rude awakening in Week 2.

Deebo Samuel (WR – SF)

Deebo Samuel finished Week 1 with 5 catches for 55 yards on 7 targets. Although Brandon Aiyuk stole the show, Samuel still had a solid game. 25% target share. 32% air yards share. 97% route participation. Running the most routes on the 49ers. I think Samuel is a savvy buy-low with all the shine on Aiyuk.
