Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Dameon Pierce (RB – HOU)

Devin Singletary took the lead, carrying the ball 12 times for 58 yards, averaging 4.8 yards per carry. Led the backfield with a 54% snap share. Ran a route on 56% of the dropbacks which boosted his total snap numbers.

Dameon Pierce contributed 13 carries for 34 yards. It was bizarre to see Singletary play so much after not tallying any carries last week. Led team in carries in the first half (9 vs. 8). Pierce was held to just a 33% snap share. Woof.

Pierce also had the chance for a massive run blown dead by the whistle. Also, his poor ypc is somewhat contributed to getting stuffed at the goal-line thrice. With Carolina coming after the bye week and the Texans offense line getting healthy, I’d be looking at Pierce as a sharp buy low target. He still started.

He is still a zero in the passing game, but he should have more productive games with Houston playing more competitively.

Marquise Brown (WR – ARI)

The entire Cardinals passing game was ineffective. Still, Marquise Brown led with 11 targets and finished with 4 catches for 34 yards. Michael Wilson led the team with 62 receiving yards on 3 catches (4 targets).

Mostly garbage time though. As were Brown’s 11 targets (29% target share, 183 air yards). Although Josh Dobbs missed Brown early that could have easily been a TD to go along with 3 red-zone targets. He will bounce back.

On the year, Hollywood Brown ranks 14th in the NFL with a 29% target share and 5th in air yards share (45%). Very cheap on DraftKings this week at $5,300.

Tee Higgins (WR – CIN)

The Bengals’ receiving corps was highlighted by Ja’Marr Chase, who received 13 targets and caught 6 passes for 80 yards. Chase’s contributions were significant in moving the ball downfield. Additionally, Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd, and Joe Mixon were also essential receiving options, collectively contributing to the Bengals’ passing attack. Boyd scored while catching all 7 targets for 38 yards. Higgins was a major bust – again – with 2 for 20 on 4 targets. He has had one good game this season…Worth noting that he did not play a full-time role – 56% route participation – as he continues to deal with the rib injury. But with a bye week, I think he will be healthier making him a screaming BUY LOW. Again, I say this because his production is going to regress positively. Higgins has always been a fantasy WR2 throughout his entire three-year career. Currently he is WR64. But it’s justified based on the injury and slow start for the offense.

He won’t finish that poorly over the rest of season. The definition of a buy-low WR, with the most fantasy points scored UNDER expectation. Higgins is WR21 in expected points per game. WR58 in actual points per game.

He won’t finish that poorly over the rest of season. The definition of a buy-low WR.

Bye week, then 49ers/Bills.

Jerry Jeudy (WR – DEN)

After Jerry Jeudy had been emerging as the No. 1 WR, Courtland reclaimed No. 1 duties commanding 6 targets for 46 yards with a great TD catch. Jeudy – who was ripped by Steve Smith during pre-game festivities – was a major disappointment. 3 catches for 14 yards on 5 targets (22%). Obviously when the QB throws for just 95 yards all WRs are going to disappoint.

Nobody else saw more than 2 targets. Marvin Mims was not targeted on any of his seven routes run (23% snap share). Seriously Sean Payton. I want to hold Mims. But if you have to make a move, hard to justify holding a guy that barely plays.

Again, this WR room is going to get shaken up before the trade deadline. I’d buy Jeudy for next to nothing with the hopes he gets traded.
