Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Alvin Kamara received 5 targets and caught 4 passes for 44 yards. Only had 9 carries for 26 yards (4 in the first half). Lowest touch number since returning from suspension (49% snap share). Also, just 2 red-zone carries.
Jamaal Williams had 3 targets and caught 2 passes for 6 yards. 3 carries.
Taysom Hill was targeted 5 times (twice in the red zone), making 4 receptions for 13 yards and a touchdown. Also led the team in rushing with 11 carries for 52 yards. Leading rusher in the first half. Threw a TD.
Does. It. All. And he remains a focal point in the red zone. 6 red-zone carries.
As I noted last week, I think selling Kamara is still the move to make. The snaps continue to dip as the Saints get more guys like Hill, Williams and Kendre Miller more involved. The heavy involvement from other RBs/Hill around the goal line also concerns me long-term, and that was apparent this past week.
Jahmyr Gibbs had 26 rushing attempts for 152 yards with an average of 5.8 yards per carry and 1 touchdown, with a long run of 27 yards in Week 8. Gibbs was also targeted 5 times (15% Target share) and caught 5 passes for 37 yards with an average of 7.4 yards per catch. 70% snap share as a clear-cut workhorse with David Montgomery sidelined. 3 red-zone carries.
Monty is expected to return after the Lions’ Week 9 bye week.
Like I said last week, this would be the prime time to SELL HIGH on Gibbs. Because this team still loves Montgomery.
Nico Collins added another touchdown reception (3 for 54), contributing to the Texans’ success (12% Target share, 2 red-zone targets). Totaled 8 targets with penalties included.
I’ve flip-flopped on Collins/Dell seemingly every week, even though I liked BOTH as buys last week. Hit.
However, the fact that it’s close between the two players, but Dell’s a rookie has me lean toward him ROS. Fill disclosure that I like both guys, but if I could sell Collins after his TD score despite low targets, I’d do so. And buy Dell after his massive game.
Chris Olave was targeted 8 times, made 6 receptions for 46 yards, and scored a touchdown (24% Target share). Sell high. He had one red-zone target in a game where Michael Thomas saw one target. That won’t be as one-sided going forward.
Ken Walker had 6 carries to Zach Charbonnet‘s 4 in the first half (2 in the red zone). Walker would carry the ball three times in the second half for a grand total of 19 yards. Walker had 2 targets to the rookie’s 1. And for the second straight game…Charbonnet out-snapped Walker because he ran more routes (55% vs 49%).
Rookie running back Keaton Mitchell led the way with 138 yards and a touchdown on 9 carries, while Lamar Jackson and Gus Edwards also contributed with their rushing abilities.
In the first half, Mitchell, Edwards and Justice Hill all had 4 carries, so Mitchell’s numbers are not just garbage time related. Edwards ended with just 5 carries but converted both his red-zone attempts into TDs. Hill totaled 13 on the day, but most of that came late in the fourth quarter. 3 in the red zone late.
Hill played the most snaps and ran the most routes, but that’s because he was playing LATE with the backups.
There’s a chance that Mitchell might be carving out a larger role in this offense, so add him off waivers. And the fact that this backfield could turn into a three-headed monster wants me to sell high on Gus Edwards. The Browns are a brutal matchup in Week 10.
Raheem Mostert carried the ball 12 times for 85 yards and scored one touchdown. The team totaled 117 rushing yards. No other Miami RB saw more than 3 carries (Salvon Ahmed). Although it needs to be noted for a second straight game, Mostert was a zero in the passing game (1 target).
Jeff Wilson Jr. commanded four targets, and Ahmed earned 3. And unlike a week ago, Mostert actually ran fewer routes than Ahmed. He played 56% of the snaps for the second straight game.
Miami is showing that they want to use a committee and I don’t think it will work favorably for Mostert when De’Von Achane returns likely after the Week 10 bye week. Sell.
George Kittle operated as the primary target without Deebo Samuel, with 9 receptions for 149 yards. He averaged an impressive 16.6 yards per catch. 35.5% Target share. Same old song dance folks. You sell Kittle after these blow-up games that are cultivated based on teammate injuries. Considering the bye week, expect Samuel to be back sooner rather than later. He is already back at practice.
Brian Robinson led the team in carries with 18 and covered 63 yards, averaging 3.5 yards per carry. He found the end zone once but also lost a fumble. Robinson had 2 targets and caught 1 pass for 4 yards.
Antonio Gibson contributed 34 yards on 6 carries, displaying his explosiveness and ability to pick up significant yardage. Gibson was targeted 5 times and made 5 receptions for 42 yards. He ran four more routes than Robinson (22 vs 18).
I like Gibson’s upside with his three-down skill set but there’s nothing from this game that suggests BRob has lost the starting job in any capacity. But because the talent gap is non-existent, I’d be looking to sell high on Robinson after his best game with a tough matchup on deck versus Seattle.
The Steelers’ rushing game was effective on Thursday night football against a stout Titans run defense, with Jaylen Warren and Najee Harris leading the way. They combined for 27 attempts, 157 yards, and one touchdown.
Warren had 11 attempts, 88 yards, 8.0 avg, 0 TD, 22 long. Harris had 16 attempts, 69 yards, 4.3 avg, 1 TD, 25 long. Warren also had a productive day as a receiver, catching all 3 of his targets for 25 yards. Harris totaled 2 receptions on 4 targets.
The snaps remained a split with the slight lean toward Najee at 58% to Warren’s 40%. The fact that Warren has looked great is awesome, but Harris isn’t playing bad enough to totally lose his grip as the starter. Still, I’d rather roster Warren with the chance he does carve out a larger role or if Najee suffers an injury. That also makes Harris a sell after he has scored for the second time in his last 3 games.
Harris still holds the main red-zone role in the Steelers backfield, with 4 red-zone carries to Warren’s zero.
Jerome Ford started and led with 20 attempts for 44 yards – 9 carries in the fourth quarter – while seeing heavy usage as a receiver. 23% Target share on a team-high 7 targets. 5 targets in the first half. 2 red-zone carries.
Kareem Hunt: 14 attempts, 38 yards, 2.7 average and 1 touchdown, as he tends to see the most RZ work. 3 red-zone carries.
Through the first half each guy had 6 carries. Pierre Strong also had 3 carries in the first half.
Hunt ended with only a 29% snap share to Ford’s 64% snap share.
Ford’s success rate continues to be abysmal – dead last in the NFL – but his take over as a highly involved receiver is encouraging for his fantasy value.
Considering touches/targets/snaps are more predictable and sticky week over week, I’d likely be a buyer/holder of Ford, while looking to sell HIGH on Hunt and his recent TD production of 5 scores in the last four games.
Also the Browns lost starting tackle Jedrick Wills to an MCL injury that will sideline him several games.
George Pickens ended with just 2 receptions on 5 targets for -1 yards (17% Target share). Came close to scoring but was ruled out of bounds (2 red-zone targets). He remains tough to trust with Johnson the alpha target earner in the offense. He’s a hold until he pops off another big game/TD.
The Steelers schedule: Packers, Browns, Bengals, Cardinals, Patriots and Colts
Chuba Hubbard out-touched Miles Sanders 10 versus 1 in the first half. Hubbard led the rushing attack overall with 16 carries, accumulating 58 yards at an average of 3.6 yards per carry. Sanders contributed with 6 carries for 39 yards, averaging 6.5 yards per carry. Almost exclusively worked in the second half with 5 targets to Hubbard’s six targets.
The fact that Sanders looked better in the second half as a rusher has me concerned, we might see more of a split moving forward. It was a near touch split in the second half which is hard to tell from the box score alone.
On the first drive, it was Hubbard with an attempt followed by Sanders with an attempt that was erased due to a penalty.
Tyler Lockett saw 7 of his 8 targets (32%) in the first half but was not efficient, 3 for 32. Lockett’s getting a solid Target share but his efficiency marks are showing signs of decline.
