Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Keenan Allen (WR – LAC)

Keenan Allen was Herbert’s top target in Week 4, hauling in 3 receptions for 32 yards and a touchdown. Although Palmer led the team with 8 targets, finishing with 3 for 77 yards. Again, the final stat line is majorly boosted by the last-minute catch, so Palmer busted for essentially 59 minutes. Keep that in mind…

Palmer led the WRs in snaps (86%) and tied with Allen in routes run (97%). If someone is sour on Allen after a low game, he would be a target off a bye week, especially given the injury surrounding Herbert’s finger injury on his non-throwing hand. Although if you want to sell the 31-year-old based on some recent injury history, I think it might be worth it to see what you can get in return.

Josh Downs (WR – IND)

Josh Downs was the standout receiver, receiving 6 passes for 97 yards, averaging an impressive 16.2 yards per catch. 6 targets. 4 targets from Minshew.

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 a 8-97-1 stat line on 11 targets.

Rashee Rice (WR – KC)

Rashee Rice is the only KC WR I want. 5 targets (13% target share) for 4 catches and 33 yards and 1 TD. He ran 10 routes. Every time he is on the field they are looking to feed him the ball. 36% target rate per route run.
And unlike Toney – Rice is converting his limited snaps into production.
They like featuring him near the red zone which is the best part of being in a Patrick Mahomes-led offense. Embrace the carb life with Rice.

Justyn Ross was also heavily involved with four targets on just 6 routes run.

The Chiefs are one of those weird teams where I think you can disregard the routes/snaps. Because the players that play the most – Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Skyy Moore, Justin Watson – don’t get targeted as much as Toney, Rice, Ross etc.

Jake Ferguson (TE – DAL)

Jake Ferguson caught all 3 of his targets and ran a route on 81% of Dak Prescott‘s dropbacks. He’s still a fantasy TE1.
