Fantasy Football Trade Advice
I think selling high on Christian Kirk is a sharp move. It’s so crowded – even on Thursday night where Kirk made up A LOT of production on a 44-yard TD scamper – that makes it tough to trust one guy. And Kirk’s production has been boosted from the Jones injury.
All in all, if you can cash out for a strong return for Kirk – especially based on the positive narrative for him opposite Ridley – I think you’re avoiding potential headaches down the road. But in full transparency, if you can’t get any worthwhile returns, he remains a hold.
Upcoming Jaguars Schedule: Steelers, Bye Week, 49ers, Titans, Texans
The Cowboys got back on the winning track on Monday night football during Week 6 defeating the LA Chargers. CeeDee Lamb had a major bounce-back performance with 7 catches for 117 yards on 7 targets. Although he did not lead the team in Target share (23%). He tied RB Tony Pollard – caught 6 balls for 80 yards – but trailed Michael Gallup who saw a whopping 10 targets for just 24 yards (32%, 114 air yards). Brandin Cooks scored the TD on one of his 4 targets.
Gallup has steadily taken on the No. 2 WR role but has done little to nothing with his opportunities.
As for Lamb, I’d use this game as a way to ship him off. The dude just isn’t a true fantasy WR1 alpha. Just a 21% Target share for the year. That ranks 40th. Just two games with more than four catches.
The schedule post Week 7 bye week is favorable: Rams, Eagles, Giants, Panthers, Commanders, Seahawks, so I’d be happy to hold Lamb if I cannot get any worthwhile return.
Chris Olave had 15 targets on Thursday night (28% Target share). He caught 7 passes for 57 yards.
Through 7 games, Olave has a 26% Target share. But as you ALL saw on Thursday night it’s just rinse and repeat about how many times Carr misses Olave on his throws. He was stuck on 2 for 17 in the first half.
Therefore, Olave remains a sell for me. He had 4 red-zone targets through the first 6 games. 1 TD. He had more red-zone targets in Week 7 (2), but Carr also attempted 55 passes. And the playcalling actually kept dialing up red-zone targets and fade routes for Michael Thomas (3 red-zone targets).
MT leads the team in red-zone targets this season (9) to Olave’s 6. Thomas has more targets inside the 10-yard line (8) than Olave (6) since the start of last season…
At this point, unless there is a QB change I don’t envision the full-fledged breakout happening for Olave.
Derrick Henry was the standout player in the rushing attack for the Titans back in Week 6, amassing 97 yards on just 12 carries, averaging an impressive 8.1 yards per attempt with a massive 63-yard run on a direct snap. He also found the end zone. Henry also chipped in with 2 receptions, gaining 16 yards.
Tyjae Spears, with 15 yards on 4 carries, added depth to the rushing game. He also caught one pass for 48 yards.
And yet again, he out-snapped Henry (56% vs 53%). His role is not going away, and he needs to be held on through the bye weeks. Elite upside if Henry were to suffer an injury/get traded.
