Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Kenneth Gainwell played more in this spot – 8 carries for 16 yards – scoring a rushing TD late to seal victory for the Eagles. He has been used at different times throughout the year at the goal line – 3 red-zone carries in Week 7 – but it’s not a sustainable role for consistent fantasy production. Especially because many of those carries go to Jalen Hurts. Gainwell’s role around the red zone just hurts the RB1 upside of D’Andre Swift, who gets the short end of the stick in red-zone usage based on the personnel in the Eagles’ offense.
Still, it’s Swift’s backfield. 15 carries for 62 yards and 3 catches for 13 yards on 3 targets. Buy the Eagles RB1.
Saquon Barkley carried the ball 21 times for 77 yards, averaging 3.7 yards per carry. He didn’t score a a rushing touchdown but was a full-blown bell cow with an 84% snap share.
In terms of targets, Darren Waller led the team with 8 (30% target share), followed by rookie Jalin Hyatt with 5 targets (19% target share) and Barkley with 4 targets. Barkley had 4 receptions for 41 yards, and scored 1 touchdown.
After another strong outing – despite operating behind a patchwork OL – Barkley remains a sharp buy-high target. Has a full workload and strong matchups coming up between the Jets/Raiders.
Davante Adams had 12 targets (27% target share), behind Jakobi Meyers with 13 targets (11 with Brian Hoyer) and Zamir White with 3 targets.
Adams caught 7 passes for 57 yards, averaging 8.1 yards per reception. Hoyer missed him on a wide-open TD in a game where they went to him immediately on the 1st drive.
Meyers had 13 targets and caught 7 passes for 50 yards, averaging 7.1 yards per reception, and scored 1 touchdown in garbage time (two red-zone targets).
If you can buy low on Adams or Meyers you do so. Jimmy Garoppolo should be back in a perfect get-right spot versus a poor Lions’ secondary.
No DK Metcalf who was ruled shortly before kickoff.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba led the team in targets with 7 (29% target share) catching 4 passes for 63 yards, averaging 15.8 yards per reception, and scoring 1 touchdown. But more importantly, JSN’s 85% route participation represented a career high.
Jake Bobo earned 5 targets and caught 4 passes for 61 yards and scored 1 touchdown. He essentially took over the Metcalf role picking up the snaps/routes. I’d avoid Bobo with Metcalf presumably returning next week.
Tyler Lockett finished with 5 targets and caught just 4 passes for 38 yards. Another disappointing effort from Lockett. If you can package him in a deal, I’d move off the veteran. Be looking to acquire Metcalf off his injury.
Through 6 healthy games this year, Metcalf still leads the Seahawks in receiving yards. Also was saw 8-plus targets in two of his last 3 games.
Seattle will face the Browns, Ravens and Commanders over their next three games.
