Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Dameon Pierce, Chris Godwin, James Cook, Rhamondre Stevenson

We’ll help you navigate the trade waters of your fantasy football leagues all season. Not only is there the ‘Who Should I Trade?’ tool where you can get instant feedback, but you can also sync your league for free using My Playbook in order to get trade advice specific to your team through our Trade Analyzer and Trade Finder tools. Here’s all my fantasy football trade advice for Week 8. Below we dive into a few players to move this week.

Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Rhamondre Stevenson (RB – NE)

Rhamondre Stevenson carried the ball 9 times for 34 yards, averaging 3.8 yards per carry with three red zone touches to boot (65% snap share). Ezekiel Elliott had 11 rushing attempts (5 in the fourth quarter), gaining 31 yards at an average of 2.8 yards per carry and scored 1 touchdown on a red-zone plunge. More than half of his carries came in the red zone (6).

Stevenson saved the day with a strong receiving output. Was targeted 6 times (20% target share) and caught 6 passes for 51 yards, averaging 8.5 yards per reception. Elliott was targeted once but didn’t record a reception.

Buy Stevenson. The schedule is lightening up in terms of defensive matchups and Stevenson’s overall role seeing 15-plus touches per game has not faltered. And the receiving usage has been extremely strong for Stevenson after he ran a route on 60% of Mac Jones‘ dropbacks in Week 7. Back-to-back weeks with a 19% plus target share. The Pats got at Miami, Commanders and Indy (Germany) over the next 3 games.

Dameon Pierce (RB – HOU)

Devin Singletary took the lead in Week 6, carrying the ball 12 times for 58 yards, averaging 4.8 yards per carry. Led the backfield with a 54% snap share. Ran a route on 56% of the dropbacks which boosted his total snap numbers.

Dameon Pierce contributed 13 carries for 34 yards. It was bizarre to see Singletary play so much after not tallying any carries last week. Led the team in carries in the first half (9 vs. 8). Pierce was held to just a 33% snap share. Woof.

Pierce also had the chance for a massive run blown dead by the whistle. Also, his poor ypc is somewhat contributed to getting stuffed at the goal line thrice. With Carolina coming right after the bye week and the Texans offensive line getting healthy, I’d be looking at Pierce as a sharp buy low target. He still started in Week 6.

He is still a zero in the passing game, but he should have more productive games with Houston playing more competitively.

Chris Godwin (WR – TB)

Mike Evans had 8 targets, catching 6 passes for 82 yards and a touchdown, averaging 13.7 yards per reception in Week 7. Chris Godwin saw 12 targets (29% target share) and caught 6 passes for 66 yards. Also led the team in air yards and earned two red-zone targets. The TD game is COMING for Godwin, as no player has more receiving yards/red-zone targets with a TD score yet this season.

James Cook (RB – BUF)

James Cook carried the ball 13 times for 56 yards (52% snap share), averaging 4.3 yards per carry, while Latavius Murray carried the ball just 4 times for 8 yards, averaging 2.0 yards per carry.

Stefon Diggs led the team with 12 targets, followed by Dalton Kincaid with 8 targets (21% target share) and James Cook with 3 targets.

Cook caught all 3 passes for 46 yards, averaging an impressive 15.3 yards per reception, and scored 1 touchdown (3 red-zone carries). He was worked best for the Bills offense that struggled for a lot of Sunday’s game.

It was a solid RB2 fantasy outing for Cook, which I think is the best way to view him moving forward. The fact that he is continuing to see some red-zone work as opposed to zero is super encouraging as the team shows more trust him in. There’s always going to be some other RB involved but the fact that Cook out-touched Murray 16 to 6 is a very positive development. 10 touches in the first half and most touches overall since Week 3. He’s a hold/buy for me.
