Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Derrick Henry (RB – TEN)

Derrick Henry, typically a dominant force in the run game, was limited to just 24 yards on 11 carries, averaging a mere 2.2 yards per attempt. His longest run was only 8 yards. Tyjae Spears provided some support with 18 yards on 5 carries, averaging 3.6 yards per carry, including a long run of 15 yards.

We also saw the same typical snap share where Henry got out-snapped by Spears with the team trailing (60% vs 43%).

Don’t love the next road matchup for the Titans run game, but then they are home free from Week 12 onward. CAR, IND, MIA, HOU including 3 games at home. Although Seattle Week 16 might be tough even though it’s also at home.

The FantasyPros SOS tool likes the schedule a ton for Henry, as it ranks top-3 tied with KC and NYJ.

Kenneth Walker III (RB – SEA)

Kenneth Walker III led the ground attack with 19 carries for 63 yards, averaging 3.3 yards per carry with his longest run being 13 yards. Totaled 4 red-zone carries. Zach Charbonnet added a significant boost with 44 yards on 6 carries, averaging 7.3 yards per attempt.

Walker, apart from his rushing duties, made a substantial impact in the passing game with a 64-yard touchdown reception on one of his 2 targets.

Charbonnet caught 4 passes for 18 yards (5 targets). It was the first time his route participation was this high (61%) and it finally turned into actual targets. As a result for the third straight game, Charbs also out-snapped Walker (52% vs 42%).

The Rams, 49ers, Cowboys and 49ers again are on deck for Seattle for the next four weeks.

Considering all of these games Seattle will either be close road favorites or straight underdogs, which does not project well for Walker as the team’s early-down back. Sell high after he ripped off the massive TD reception

Chris Olave (WR – NO)

In the passing department, Jameis Winston completed 13 of 25 attempts for 122 yards, throwing 2 touchdown passes but also 2 interceptions. Derek Carr left the game with a concussion.

Chris Olave was a significant target in the receiving game, catching 6 of his 9 targets (23% target share) for 94 yards, including a 26-yard touchdown reception (2 red-zone targets). 182 total air yards (45%). He actually had another big catch nullified due to an offensive offsides penalty.

All of his production came in the second half. He had zero first-half targets. Carr actually got hurt on his first throw to Olave. Sell high on Olave after his big game with Winston at QB. Because that is not going to be the case after the bye week.

Gus Edwards (RB – BAL)

Lamar Jackson led the rushing efforts with 8 carries for 41 yards, averaging 5.1 yards per attempt.

His longest run was 9 yards. Keaton Mitchell added a significant boost with 34 yards and a touchdown on 3 carries, including a long run of 39 yards. Only played 24% of the snaps.

Gus Edwards also contributed with 24 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries (3 red-zone carries). 52% snap share.

In the first half, Mitchell had only 2 carries but for 32 yards and 1 TD. Also has a 32-yard catch (and dropped a TD) on 2 targets. Saw another deep target that was intercepted (negated due to penalty).

Edwards had 6 carries for 14 yards. Hill with one first-half carry with two overall. Hill played 26% of the snaps and had a TD nullified due to a penalty.

Mitchell continues to be put in position to deliver splash plays, but expecting him to get overloaded with touches probably won’t be the case. He is going to see a handful of touches every week based on his explosiveness, but I don’t think it goes more than that while the other RBs remain healthy. However, I think he is viewed ahead of Hill.

The fact that this backfield looks more like a three-headed monster wants me to sell high on Gus Edwards.
