Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Rhamondre Stevenson (RB – NE)

Rhamondre Stevenson played 73% of the snaps finishing with 18 touches for the second straight week. Even with Ezekiel Elliott making occasional cameos here and there, Stevenson remains the Patriots RB1. He scored a red-zone TD on Sunday Night Football, while catching three balls for 10 yards. But the biggest win was Zeke’s lack of targets. After seeing 7 in Week 1, Elliott was held to just five carries and zero targets in Week 2.

Joe Mixon (RB – CIN)

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

Joe Mixon continued to see bell-cow work in Week 2 with a 78% snap rate, 17 overall touches and 5 targets. Other Bengals RBs combined for three touches. Another buy for those looking for running back health. His snaps increased from Week 1. He also saw 5 red zone carries but didn’t find the end zone. He greatly benefits from the easy schedule upcoming – aside from the Titans matchup – starting with a LA in Week 3.

Jaylen Waddle (WR – MIA)

Jaylen Waddle is in the concussion protocol, which would open targets up for others behind Tyreek Hill. Tight end Durham Smythe and WR Braxton Berrios would be the primary beneficiaries. Smythe played almost every snap for the second straight game and Berrios has averaged four targets to start the year.

Assuming everything checks out with Waddle’s health, he’s a buy-low target for me. He’s been overshadowed by Hill to start the year but is coming off an 86-yard performance on just four catches Sunday night. He only has four catches in each of the first two games but has averaged over 80 receiving yards per game. Averaging over 20 yards per reception. Just needs some TD luck, that could easily come in a BIG WAY if Patrick Surtain matches up with Hill versus Denver in Week 3.
