Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Nick Chubb (RB – CLE)

Nick Chubb was a standout performer. Rushed for 106 yards despite a long of just 17 rushing yards.

18 for 106 versus Jerome Ford‘s 15 for 36. Same offensive line. Chubb is just that good. And he did it on a 49% snap share. And better yet, Chubb got more receiving work totaling 22 touches with four targets. Buy high before people realize Chubb is poised for his best season ever.

Travis Etienne Jr. (RB – JAC)

Travis Etienne showcased his versatility with 23 touches, 18 carries for 77 yards, 1 26-yard rushing TD, and 5 receptions for 27 yards. Bell cow status with an 80% snap share. Beyond elite route participation – 85%. Ran a route on 30 of 35 Trevor Lawrence dropbacks with no JaMycal Hasty.

Next up KC Chiefs. Might be too late to get him on your roster if you didn’t have him already.

Rhamondre Stevenson (RB – NE)

Rhamondre Stevenson earned 6 targets as the team’s leader in receiving yards with Bourne (64 receiving yards).

But dear lord they kept forcing passes to Ezekiel Elliott (5 catches for 12 yards on 7 targets) even after he fumbled. JuJu Smith-Schuster and rookie Demario Douglas each also had 7 targets on 27 routes run (46%).

The only issue is Kayshon Boutte actually played ahead of BOTH of those players with four targets of his own (69% snap share). The issue with the rookie was he failed to get both his feet down on a couple of sideline targets, typical of a first year WR. Still, his route participation in first game (74%) suggests the coaches want him out there, so stash Boutte in deeper formats.

Both RBs were horrible on the ground as the Eagles DL overmatched Pats OL. The Patriots also couldn’t run effectively being down 16-0 from the get-go.

So given it all, Stevenson coming out with 18 touches and nearly 90 yards with a 72% snap share is a win. Because during the game it didn’t seem like that at all.

And like the difference between a Stevenson target (10.6 ypt) and Zeke target (2.0 ypt) …has me convinced these Elliott targets are not here for the long run. Stevenson doubled his routes. No way Elliott will continue to be targeted at a near 40% per route run basis.

Buy low on Stevenson amid the Elliott interference with a JUICY matchup on deck versus a Miami Dolphins horrible run defense.
