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

Derrick Henry (RB – TEN)

Nobody is more hot or cold than the Titans. One week they can’t do anything, the next they just dominate. Derrick Henry got rolling with 122 yards on 22 carries with 1 long rushing TD (1 target, 59% snap share). Also threw a TD at the goal line. Tyjae Spears carried the ball 5 times for 40 yards while adding three catches on 4 targets – but he also still played 53% of the snaps. Spears also ran more routes per usual.

This one is too easy. Sell high on Henry. Again, as I mentioned at the top. This team is super-hot/cold. Sell high while the getting is good. Be afraid of a fierce Colts defensive line in Week 5 on the road. Don’t get things confused. The Titans offensive line is still bad. Bad Ols don’t travel.

And note that Henry’s usage is still nowhere near where it was last season with Spears threating his total workload. Spears is part of the offensive game plan every week.

DJ Moore (WR – CHI)

DJ Moore had a standout game for the Bears, hauling in all 8 of his 9 targets (28% target share) for 131 yards and a touchdown, showcasing his big-play ability.

But despite an awesome effort from the Bears offense, they still lost. Woof. The fumble six was a killer. Chicago plays the Commanders Thursday night, then Vikings. If the Bears start 0-5, might be the door for their head coach.

We saw last year once this offense got going, they gained momentum. Use that as your selling point.

So, for now, I am mostly holding my Bears skill players or selling for max ROI. Again, the Broncos are probably the worst defense in the NFL. We have seen teams come crashing back to Earth the following week after beating up on Denver’s defense. Although in an interesting scheduling quirk, the first three teams to face Denver played the Bills the week after, going 0-3 versus the spread (2-1 toward the over) with an average margin of loss by 31 points.

Terry McLaurin (WR – WAS)

In the passing game, Terry McLaurin was Howell’s primary target, receiving 10 targets and making 8 receptions for 86 yards (26% target share).

Curtis Samuel and Jahan Dotson also played significant roles in the passing attack, with Samuel making 7 receptions (8 targets) and Dotson adding 4 receptions and a touchdown (9 targets, 23% target share). Dotson saw a whopping four red-zone targets catching two including the TD.

Through four weeks – McLaurin/Dotson are tied with a 19% team target share. For that reason, I view TMC as a sell high. Again, like DJ Moore, McLaurin will finish the year as a fantasy WR2. He does every year. So, if you can get a bit more after a strong game, I’d cash out.

Alvin Kamara (RB – NO)

The New Orleans Saints took a different approach with their backfield than Tampa Bay, relying heavily on Alvin Kamara in both the running and passing game in his first game back from the suspension. Kamara had a whopping 14 targets, leading to an impressive 13 receptions albeit for 33 yards, showcasing his versatility as a dual threat running back. 70% route participation. 75% snap share. 37% target share.

However, the fact that the Saints offense struggled mightily does not suggest to me that this exact usage is what we will see every week from New Orleans’ offense. This offense isn’t good right now, and Kamara said as much after the game. “It’s been two years since we had that offense that was rolling.” Woof.
