Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Josh Jacobs carried the load on the ground with 25 rushing attempts, gaining 77 yards. While he didn’t find the end zone, his hard-nosed running style kept the offense moving. Alas, 7 red zone carries resulted in zero TDs. Jacobs ranks 5th in red zone carries but has just two RZ TDs (two TDs all together).
Davante Adams (WR): 91%
Jakobi Meyers (WR): 91%
Michael Mayer (TE): 81%
Josh Jacobs (RB): 81%
Jimmy Garoppolo (QB): 61%
Brian Hoyer (QB): 39%
Austin Hooper (TE): 34%
Tre Tucker (WR): 31%
Jakob Johnson (FB): 24%
Ameer Abdullah (RB): 13%
Hunter Renfrow (WR): 10%— Andrew Erickson™ (@AndrewErickson_) October 16, 2023
Even if Jacobs struggles versus an underrated Bears run defense he should be able to be effective as a receiver.
However, from a bigger picture, I think Jacobs is a sharp sell high.
As alluded to, the Bears have an underrated run defense. The Lions have an elite run defense. Those are the next two matchups for Jacobs, who has been supremely underwhelming this season. Dead last in fantasy points scored above expectation. 2.9 yards per carry on the year.
Raheem Mostert exhibited his explosiveness with 17 carries for 115 yards, averaging an impressive 6.8 yards per carry, and reaching the end zone twice. Caught all 3 targets with another receiving TD while playing 61% of the snaps.
In addition to Mostert’s contribution, Chris Brooks added 28 yards on 6 carries, while Salvon Ahmed provided 23 yards on 6 carries (36% snap share), including a rushing touchdown. Ahmed and Mostert split their routes 50/50.
Brooks came in during garbage time.
Still want to sell high on Mostert. He has 11 TDs this season. But he’s 31 years old and has a long injury track record. Also, both Jeff Wilson Jr. and De’Von Achane will be returning to the lineup in the coming weeks. Considering how excellent Mostert has been, you can get whatever you want for him. Sell high.
Zack Moss and Jonathan Taylor shared rushing duties. Moss led the way with 7 carries for 21 yards, finding the end zone with a touchdown run. Taylor recorded 8 carries but was held to 19 yards. Taylor was involved in the passing game as well, catching 5 passes for 46 yards. His ability to contribute as a receiver adds versatility to the Colts’ offense (6 targets). Moss was another key contributor, catching 6 passes for 38 yards, helping move the chains and providing an additional dimension to the offense (7 targets). Moss also ran more routes than JT. Snaps are ticking up for JT, but I don’t think we are going to see Moss disappear from the offense anytime soon. Was on the sell JT train last week, and I am sticking to my guns with two tough matchups coming up.
Rashee Rice only saw four targets – but caught all of them four 72 yards with 55 coming after the catch. I’ve been saying it since Week 1. This is the only KC WR you want on your fantasy team. He is showing out and is earning more opportunities. This team needs somebody to step up behind Kelce, and Rice looks like that guy.
49% snap share was his highest since Week 3 (blow-out game). Tied for the second most routes run behind Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Ran a route on 51% of the dropbacks.
Every time he is on the field they are looking to feed him the ball. 31% target rate per route run. And the Justin Watson injury creates more snaps/routes for Rice to take on. Buy the rookie.
