Fantasy Football Trade Advice

DeVonta Smith (WR – PHI)

DeVonta Smith ended with just 1 catch for 6 yards. 5 targets. Woof. Must imagine HIS squeaky wheel game is coming….

The Jets, Dolphins and Commanders incoming. Bombs away.

Buy low on Smith. Lead the team in routes run.

He was visibly upset on the sideline with not much involvement. Seems like the biggest problem for the 5-0 Eagles is just trying to balance the offensive production to keep their players happy. Great problem to have – said a very sad Patriots fan.

Jaylen Waddle (WR – MIA)

Jaylen Waddle recorded 5 receptions for 35 yards and scored a touchdown (4 red-zone targets). Team-high ten targets while leading the team in routes run. More involved but not as efficient as you’d hope.

The big game is LOOMING. This matchup the Dolphins were not pushing downfield as things were open underneath. Chase the volume and routes. An injury to Achane could shift the big spike plays to Waddle…

The Panthers, Eagles and Patriots are the next 3 matchups.

Amari Cooper (WR – CLE)

On the Browns’ side, the offense was led by quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson with Deshaun Watson out in Week 4. DTR completed just 19 out of 36 passes for 121 yards, zero TDs.

David Njoku was his primary target, securing 6 receptions for 46 yards (7 targets, 21% Target share). Considering it was a new QB – not any usage change – that influenced Njoku’s best game to date, best not to read too much into it. Leave him on waivers or drop him.

No Watson killed the fantasy value of Amari Cooper (1 catch, 6 targets) and Elijah Moore (2 for 20, 4 targets). Buy Cooper after the down game, with Watson coming back healthy.

On the year, Cooper ranks 7th in air yards share.

Michael Pittman Jr. (WR – IND)

Michael Pittman Jr. also played a significant role with 5 receptions for 52 yards, showcasing his ability to make catches at different levels of the field. 7 targets. 5 from Minshew (35% Target share). Caught a DPI on a deep target.

Downs has been more productive in the games that Minshew has played more than with Richardson. Same goes for Pittman.

Both guys should be viewed in higher regard with Minshew slated to be QB1 over the next month.

The targets have been extremely concentrated between the two WRs anyway. Pittman has a 29% Target share this season. Downs owned a 25% Target share in Week 5. On the year, it’s 20%.

Jaguars, Browns and Saints are the next 3 games for Indy. Indy played Jacksonville in Week 1, and Pittman posted an 8-97-1 stat line on 11 targets.
