Miles Sanders (RB – CAR)
Miles Sanders has proven himself as a reliable fantasy RB2 despite playing in a challenging offensive environment. He has been performing well with both carries and targets for the Panthers. What makes Sanders even more appealing is the favorable matchups he’ll encounter in the coming weeks. So, consider acquiring Sanders now and enjoy the benefits of his consistent production. Just be aware that Chuba Hubbard might not have the same upside as Sanders, as he trails behind in terms of snaps and touches.
Jahmyr Gibbs (RB – DET)
Jahmyr Gibbs is on the rise, and his role in his team’s offense is growing. He saw an impressive nine targets in Week 2, showcasing his versatility as a pass-catching back. With an injury to David Montgomery, Gibbs is expected to continue receiving opportunities. However, keep in mind that Gibbs’ size might limit him from handling a heavy workload. So, while his potential is exciting, be cautious about overvaluing him in the trade market.
Travis Etienne (RB – JAC)
Travis Etienne may have had a slow start, but he’s an RB1 talent on his team. The upcoming matchup against the Texans’ defense in Week 3 is a golden opportunity for him to shine. Despite his lackluster Week 2 performance, Etienne’s snap share of 72% indicates his significant role in the offense. Don’t miss out on this chance to acquire him, as he’s poised to be a top-five fantasy running back for the rest of the season.
D’Andre Swift (RB – PHI)
While D’Andre Swift had a fantastic game in Week 2, his workload may fluctuate throughout the season. The Eagles’ head coach has hinted that Swift’s role will vary from game to game. With Kenneth Gainwell‘s return and tougher opponents on the horizon, Swift’s role may become uncertain. If you’re looking for more consistency, consider trading for players like Kenneth Walker or Joe Mixon.
Christian Watson (WR – GB) & Skyy Moore (WR – KC)
If you’re in the market for wide receivers, keep an eye on Christian Watson and Skyy Moore. Watson is a promising young player for the Packers and is expected to be a valuable deep threat. On the other hand, Moore has shown promise but lacks a consistent target share, which could be a concern. Consider these options carefully based on your team’s needs.
Michael Pittman Jr. (WR – IND)
Michael Pittman Jr. is a prime buy-low candidate. With his quarterback force-feeding him targets, he had a productive game in Week 2. Pittman boasts a high target share of 33% over the first two games, making him a valuable asset in fantasy football. Don’t hesitate to acquire Pittman and try to package a less desirable wide receiver in the trade.
Garrett Wilson (WR – NYJ)
Zach Wilson is impacting Garrett Wilson’s value due to the lackluster passing game. The QB ranks last in passing EPA through two games, and his connection with Wilson hasn’t been fruitful. If you roster Wilson, consider exploring trade options. Players like DJ Moore, Jerry Jeudy, and Christian Watson might offer more reliable production.
In conclusion, Week 3 presents numerous trade opportunities in fantasy football. Whether you’re targeting reliable running backs, promising wide receivers, or assessing the impact of poor performances, these insights should guide your trade decisions. Remember that fantasy football is all about staying ahead of the curve, so don’t hesitate to make strategic moves to secure victory in your league.
