Here are all the players we’re buying and selling this week. And below let’s take a closer look at a few players to trade this week.

Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Amari Cooper (WR – CLE)

On the Browns’ side, the offense was led by quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson with Deshaun Watson out. DTR completed just 19 out of 36 passes for 121 yards, zero TDs.

David Njoku was his primary target, securing 6 receptions for 46 yards (7 targets , 21% target share). Considering it was new QB – not any usage change – that influenced Njoku’s best game to date, best not to read too much into it. Leave him on waivers or drop him.

No Watson killed the fantasy value of Amari Cooper (1 catch, 6 targets) and Elijah Moore (2 for 20, 4 targets). Buy Cooper after the down game with Watson coming back healthy after the bye week.
On the year, Cooper ranks 6th in air yards share.

Deebo Samuel (WR – SF)

Deebo Samuel…no catches or targets. Came in banged up. And when one 49ers is hurt/limited all the others FEAST. Well in this case, just two. George Kittle. 1 for 9 despite running a route on all but one of Purdy’s dropbacks.

Woof. Just no need for Samuel/Kittle. Buy low targets.
They will be needed next week versus Dallas. Samuel still played 87% of the snaps with an elite 87% routes run rate.

Brian Robinson Jr. (RB – WAS)

Brian Robinson was the key contributor in the rushing game, gaining 45 yards on 14 carries and finding the end zone once. He should have scored twice but fumbled into the end zone (recovered by Terry McLaurin). Totaled four red-zone targets. Played 55% of the snaps and ran just one fewer route than Gibson. That’s huge.

Antonio Gibson took a backseat in the receiving game to BRob, who saw 2 targets for Gibby’s one. Positive development for Robinson, who the team just seems to love. If we get him in a full three-down role, he will be a fringe fantasy RB1. Buy high. Could be in for a monster game versus Chicago. He’s currently tied for 3rd in the NFL in rushing yards (pending MNF).

Chris Godwin (WR – TB)

The Buccaneers’ offensive attack primarily revolved around quarterback Baker Mayfield, who was efficient with 25 completions out of 32 attempts for 246 yards and three touchdowns. Mayfield spread the ball effectively among his targets, with Chris Godwin being his favorite, securing 8 receptions for 114 yards. Deven Thompkins and Mike Evans also contributed significantly with 4 catches for 45 yards and 3 catches for 40 yards, respectively. Evans left early with a hamstring injury. Thompkins did not play the most snaps after Evans injury. Trey Palmer (75% snap share) ran a route on nearly 80% of the dropbacks. Thompkins was around 61%.

Godwin blew up with Evans out, and Mayfield has shown he can support at least one fantasy WR every single week. Buy Godwin now, with the TD regression calling his name. Only receiver this year with 7-plus red-zone targets and zero TDs.
