Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Players to Buy

Travis Etienne Jr. (RB – JAC)

Travis Etienne showcased his versatility with 23 touches, 18 carries for 77 yards, one 26-yard rushing TD, and five 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 in Week 1. Week 2 was not as great. The ground game was poor as Etienne went for just 40 yards on 12 carries. Also was dealing with cramps during the game. But Tank Bigsby had zero carries and played just 19% of the snaps. ETN also had three targets. 62% route participation. 72% snap share. Still, a workhorse out touching all other RBs 14 to 2. And the Texans are the ideal bounce-back matchup in Week 3.

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.

Breece Hall (RB – NYJ)

If I were to buy-low on any Jets player, it would be Breece Hall. The hope is the Jets just pound the ground game to protect Zach Wilson, with Hall leading the charge. The Patriots defense didn’t look great versus the run in Week 2, and I don’t think the Jets have any choice but to go full blown operation ground-and-pound to compliment their elite defense.
