Fantasy Football Trade Advice
I felt like I was on an island last week backing my stance for Isiah Pacheco last week, and he came through BIG. 20 carries for 115 yards and 1 TD on SNF. Caught three balls for 43 on 3 targets. 4 red-zone carries including the score.
Other Chiefs RBs combined for just 5 carries, 19 rushing yards and 2 targets. Dare I say, Pacheco is a bell cow with a 60% snap share. Career. High. Buy high.
Jahmyr Gibbs managers looks away. The rookie RB’s usage returned to “meh” with him playing just 37% of the snaps. Lowest snap rate since Week 1 (27%). Although the touches remained relatively high at 12. 8 for 40 rushing yards (5.0 yards per carry) and four receptions on five targets.
Montgomery has scored five touchdowns in just three games, and it’s pretty clear that role is not going away. And in positive game scripts versus plus-matchups, Monty will routinely see 20-plus carries. All in all, it is hard to not view him as at least a backend fantasy RB1 for the rest of the season as a grinder on an above average offense. He has another great matchup on deck versus Carolina in Week 5.
As for Gibbs, I still think there’s enough equity in the offense for him to be a fantasy RB2 the rest of season, with obvious room to grow if his role increases down the stretch (as it typically does for rookies). He’s flashed efficiency and as a pass-catcher (14% target share).
However, the chances of him unseating Montgomery is very unlikely without an injury. Say what you like about Montgomery stylistically as a rusher, but the Lions LOVE what he is doing. 9th in success rate even at 3.8 yards per carry. Meanwhile, Gibbs ranks third worst in rushing success rate (36%) despite a superior 4.6 yards per carry.
If I needed wins now, I’d probably trade Gibbs for Monty straight up. In a vacuum I’d still like to buy low on Gibbs – as a bet on talent for a rookie RB that is still offering some value in PPR formats even as the RB2 on his own team. His role is somewhat similar to James Cook – although Gibbs’ rush share is vastly inferior.
Nobody else did much in the passing game as Kirk only threw 19 times. Buy low on guys like Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson etc.
Addison still ran a route on 73% of the dropbacks, despite dropping the goose egg on 1 target. Buy low.
The Chiefs and the Bears up next. I’m sure he will see plenty of usage.
If I were to buy low on any Jets player, it would be Breece Hall.
The plucky Jets gave the Chiefs quite the scare on Sunday night, but them came up just short of the massive upset.
The backfield was hardly used. Breece Hall carried the ball 6 times for 56 yards – big 43-yard gain – while Dalvin Cook went 5 for 16. Return ace Xavier Gipson chipped in two carries for 13 yards.
Hall also added three catches for 13 yards on four targets wrapping his night up with 44% snap share (26 snaps). Cook settled at just 25%.
The time is now to buy Hall. He is slowing edging out Cook, while flashing the explosive upside we saw pre torn ACL last season. With the Jets showing some signs of life vs KC, there’s a chance that Hall can still be a league-winner in the second half of the season.
The Broncos are the league’s worst defense, where we could finally see Hall go NUCLEAR and remind us all why he was drafted so highly. Just $5.4K on DK.
