Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Jonathan Taylor (RB – IND)

The Colts’ rushing attack was dominant, led by running back Zack Moss, who displayed both power and big-play ability against a fierce Titans DL.

Moss started, played 80% of the snaps and carried the ball an impressive 23 times, accumulating 165 yards on the ground with an outstanding average of 7.2 yards per carry. He found the end zone twice, showcasing his ability to break tackles and make explosive runs.

Jonathan Taylor (15% snap share) contributed 6 carries for 18 yards, although he didn’t manage to score a touchdown. (2 to 1 targets in favor of Moss). Taylor was used heavily at a per-snap rate (10 snaps, 7 RB opportunities), but Moss’s production cannot be ignored, nor can his overwhelming routes run rate (68%).

Also thought it was curious that the team elected to NOT use JT near the goal line. Moss has 8 red-zone carries to Taylor’s one.

The ultimate worst-case scenario for fantasy managers who had Moss and started JT this week. Woof. Expect JT’s snaps to rise…but perhaps we don’t see Moss totally disappear based on how well he has played. After all, JT has a long-term contract, so the team might be more keen on keeping him upright for the long haul. I think he’s a sharp sell high. Not like Shane Steichen is known for strictly using just 1 RB…

CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL)

Not much can be taken away from another one-sided Dallas Cowboys game. Either they win big or lose big.

Michael Gallup looks to have firmly supplanted Brandin Cooks as the No. 2. Tied for the team lead in targets (5, 19%) with CeeDee Lamb and Tony Pollard.

Although Cooks just ran HORRIBLE converting 122 air yards (40%), into just 7 yards and one catch. Woof.

Lamb was marked as a sell-high last week, and I think I am doubling down. The dude just isn’t a true fantasy WR1 alpha. Just a 21% Target share for the year. Outside the top 40. And only one game with more than four catches.

Chris Olave (WR – NO)

Michael Thomas was Derek Carr‘s primary target, with 7 targets (28% targets share). He caught 4 passes for 65 yards. Chris Olave had 5 targets, making 2 receptions for 12 yards, and he found the end zone once. Was very close to a second score. Still, I’m not sold on the Derek Carr-Olave pairing. The Saints QB consistently misses Olave downfield. Therefore after the TD score, I am looking to SELL Olave even after buying low last week. The Saints second-year WR has 3 catches for 16 yards over the last two games.

The Texans, Jaguars and Colts are up next for the Saints.

Alvin Kamara (RB – NO)

Alvin Kamara led the ground game for the Saints with 22 rushing attempts, gaining 80 yards and finding the end zone once (62% snap share). He displayed his versatility as a dual threat back catching 3 balls for 17 yards (3 targets). 37% route participation was down from last week as the team didn’t really need to throw up big early in a blow-out victory.

Kendre Miller was also heavily involved, receiving 4 targets and making 4 receptions for 53 yards, displaying his reliability in the passing game. Only ran two fewer routes than Kamara and each saw two targets in the first half.

Miller went 12 for 37 rushing, although some of his work came later in the blow out. Still, he saw some time alongside Kamara before the game got out of hand as the team recently released Tony Jones Jr.

Make sure he’s not on waivers as a high-end handcuff to Kamara. Guy has juice especially in the passing game.

I also think Kamara might be a sharp sell-high after this game. Backfield was not all his with Miller sprinkling in. And Jamaal Williams will eventually be returning, which could spell further touches away from AK41.
