Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Jaylen Waddle (WR – MIA)

Tyreek Hill posted a 47% target share versus the Eagles. Jaylen Waddle played second fiddle with just a 19% target share as he was dealing with a back injury during the game.
Still salvaged his outing with 6 catches for 63 yards on 6 targets. He only ran 16 routes – 38% target rate per route run.

Nobody else saw more than 3 targets on the offense. Waddle can only be kept in check for so long before a full-featured breakout. Note that Waddle has been WR16 and WR7 his first two years in the NFL. Currently he is WR35. That will not last.

Zay Flowers (WR – BAL)

Zay Flowers caught 4 passes for 75 yards, averaging 18.8 yards per reception. Andrews had 6 targets and caught 4 passes for 63 yards and scored 2 touchdowns.

Flowers has been the model of consistency throughout his entire rookie campaign and remains a buy candidate. 14th in target share (28%) 7 games into his rookie year.

DJ Moore (WR – CHI)

D.J. Moore saw 9 targets (two red-zone targets) and caught 8 passes for 54 yards (32% target share, 54% air yards share). Because he is so clearly the No. 1, he will continue to provide fantasy value even with Tyson Bagent at quarterback. Good matchups and Justin Fields coming back make him an interesting buy-low candidate.

DeVonta Smith (WR – PHI)

A.J. Brown is on another LEVEL right now. 50% target share on Sunday Night Football. Meanwhile, DeVonta Smith has fallen to the wayside as a result. I’d like to say that AJB WR1 szn’s targets will regress at some point – but he’s just SUCH an alpha.

However, the Commanders pass defense is so bad that I think Smith can still feast. Still running 100% of the routes. Also caught 7 balls for 78 yards on 8 targets the last time he played Washington earlier this season.

Philly faces Washington, Dallas, Bye Week and KC in their next three games.
