Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Javonte Williams reclaimed RB1 duties carrying the ball 15 times for 82 yards, averaging 5.5 yards per carry, with a long run of 21 yards (53% snap share, season-high). Targeted 4 times (17% target share), with 3 receptions for 14 yards. Led team in routes run. Also had a TD wiped off the board due to a holding penalty.
Jaleel McLaughlin carried the ball 5 times for 45 yards, averaging 9.0 yards per carry, with a long run of 23 yards (2 targets). He’s a handcuff but has been SUPER efficient all year long which will continue to earn him touches. And the Broncos just LOVE using him near the goal line, with him posting 3 red-zone touches on very limited work.
Samaje Perine with just 2 carries. Targeted 3 times, with 3 receptions for 31 yards.
Williams’ usage is on the upswing, but a dreaded three-way committee with high-value touches coming at a premium makes Juggernaut Javonte a must-sell RB.
Quarterback Bryce Young‘s primary target was Adam Thielen, who was targeted an impressive 13 times. Thielen hauled in 11 receptions for 115 yards and found the end zone once, confirming his role as the Panthers’ top receiver (37% target share).
He is the WR3 in PPR (pending MNF). I’d cash out now. Rememeber, the Panthers have been very vocal about adding another WR before the trade deadline.
D’Onta Foreman carried the ball 16 times for 89 yards, averaging 5.6 yards per carry, and scored 2 touchdowns. Was targeted 5 times (2nd on the team) and caught 3 passes for 31 yards and scored 1 touchdown. A monster with the football. 5 total red-zone touches.
Darrynton Evans carried the ball 14 times for 48 yards, averaging 3.4 yards per carry. Also saw 3 targets. 6 of his carries came late right after Foreman was forced to the sideline with an injury.
Hence the snaps favoring Evans. Like last week, Evans also saw the first carry of the game despite Foreman starting.
I have to imagine that Foreman will be a highly debated RB to trade this week and for good reason. The process is clearly to sell high for a RB coming off a 3 TD game when his role has been boosted by injuries around him in a supremely soft matchup. One would think that Khalil Herbert and/or Roschon Johnson will eventually return and push Foreman for touches, which has been the case when he has split work with Evans the last two games.
I’d like to think that Foreman has “shown enough” to be the RB1 moving forward, but he’s down this same old song and dance for the last two seasons.
2022 Week 8 versus Atlanta: 31.8 points and 3 TDs. 2022 Week 9 versus Cincinnati: 4 points.
And although the Chargers “appear” soft versus the run, they have been stout since returning from the bye week. Fewer than 35 yards allowed to both Isiah Pacheco and Tony Pollard in back-to-back weeks.
The Bears are also massive road dogs (+8.5), which doesn’t foreshadow Foreman’s continuing his hot streak in Week 8. The Saints are no cakewalk versus the run either in Week 9.
Foreman for Bijan Robinson…who says no?
