Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Alexander Mattison was the workhorse in the Vikings’ backfield, amassing 95 rushing yards on 17 carries. Cam Akers‘ debut did little to impact him on the surface, as the former Ram carried the ball just 5 times…but 40 yards. 8 yards per carry. Oh. That’s new. And it was TRUE 8 yards per carry. Rushes of 6, 8, 9, 7 and 10.
And Akers – who has been a total zero in the passing game throughout his career – sees two targets to Mattison’s one in his first game as a Viking. Saw 7 routes to Mattison’s 10.
Sell high. Akers’ 7 touches and 29% snap share was already higher than any snap rate or workload Ty Chandler had through three games. Mattison’s 69% snap share was a season low.
Chuba Hubbard carried the ball 9 times and gained 35 yards, averaging 3.9 yards per carry. Earned two red-zone opportunities.
Miles Sanders contributed 32 yards on 7 carries, with an average of 4.6 yards per carry. Sanders led in carries in the first half (6 to 3) and started.
Laviska Shenault had 5 carries. Not nothing.
1 target for Sanders, two for Hubbard. Sanders ran more routes.
Second straight game where Hubbard out-snapped Sanders. This looks like a full-blown committee as Sanders has no injury excuses this week compared to last.
George Pickens was the standout receiver for the Steelers, targeted 10 times (32% target share). He made 6 receptions for an impressive 130 yards, averaging 21.7 yards per catch, and scored a touchdown on a long 41-yard pass.
Allen Robinson made 5 receptions for 29 yards (9 targets) showcasing his reliability as a possession receiver.
This team won because of their defense – a big reason why they have won any games this year. Much needed bye week is coming up where they can get healthier and work on a new offensive strategy. Whispers…fire Matt Canada.
Still, consider me pessimistic. If able, I would sell high on Pickens. He has made a lot of production ripping off big plays and his target share can only go down with the eventual returns of Diontae Johnson and Pat Freiermuth.
Johnson is eyeing a Week 7 return (after the Steelers bye week).
It’s been 26% through 5 weeks with a top-10 air yards share (42%). I think Pickens is a great talent, but the offense and his role – having to rely some heavily on contested sideline catches – is just not conducive to sustained fantasy production.
Ridder (undefeated at home in both college/pros) completed 28 of 37 passes for a total of 329 yards! He threw one touchdown pass and didn’t record any interceptions.
The Falcons’ receiving corps was actively involved in the game, with several players being targeted.
Kyle Pitts was the leading receiver, being targeted 11 times and catching 7 passes for 87 yards. He averaged 12.4 yards per reception. Have a day! SELL HIGH.
Drake London demonstrated his receiving skills with 6 receptions for 78 yards, averaging 13 yards per catch (9 targets). Again…sell high. Zero catches in the first half.
Ridder may never throw for 300-plus yards ever in his career.
No. 2 tight end Jonnu Smith made 6 receptions for 67 yards, showcasing his consistency as a target. 4 straight weeks of consistent usage.
On the year, Smith and Pitts have identical 20% target shares. London is at 19%, followed by Robinson (18%).
