Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Diontae Johnson (WR – PIT)

Diontae Johnson, targeted 8 times (32% target share, 100-plus air yards), had 16 yards on 2 receptions. Triple Woof. Still want to buy low based on the overall usage he is seeing with plus-matchups approaching. The Steelers’ upcoming schedule: Bengals (bet the under), Cardinals, Patriots and Colts.

Jerome Ford (RB – CLE)

Kareem Hunt rumbled for 12 carries for 36 yards, averaging 3.0 yards per attempt. His longest run was 16 yards but he only had four carries in the first half. Jerome Ford also had 12 carries, gaining 31 yards and scoring a touchdown from the 1-yard line. 10 carries in the first half. Ford also caught 2 passes for 8 yards. Hunt caught all three of his targets for 1 yard.

Ford played 49% of the snaps to Hunt’s 44% snap rate. He was also the preferred red-zone back, earning two carries inside the 6-yard line while leading the backfield in routes run.

Even though the yardage totals were similar, Ford is doing more in this backfield than Hunt. Buy him ahead of a SMASH spot against the Broncos’ atrocious run defense.

Jayden Reed (WR – GB)

Jayden Reed led the team with 46 rushing yards and a touchdown on just 3 carries, averaging an impressive 15.3 yards per carry with his longest run being 32 yards for a TD. A.J. Dillon added 29 yards on 14 carries, and Aaron Jones contributed 14 yards on 4 carries (21% snap share). Both Jones and Emmanuel Wilson left with injuries and did not return. Dillon also caught 4 passes for 32 yards.

Jordan Love completed 27 of 40 attempts for 322 yards, throwing 2 touchdowns without any interceptions.

Dontayvion Wicks was a significant target in the receiving game, making 3 receptions for 91 yards on 5 targets (13.2% target share). Did suffer a head injury in the contest.

Romeo Doubs contributed with 53 yards and a touchdown on 5 receptions from 6 targets (15.8% target share). Reed, apart from his rushing contributions, caught 4 passes for 46 yards on 6 targets (15.8% target share). He led the team in targets in the first half and finished with just one fewer route than Watson (77%). He’s breaking out folks. And better yet, just $4,200 on DraftKings.

David Njoku (TE – CLE)

David Njoku was heavily targeted, catching 7 passes for 56 yards on 15 targets! (37% target share).

Amari Cooper contributed 34 yards on 4 receptions from 8 targets (19.5% target share, 42% air yards share).

Schedule: DEN, LAR and JAC.

Njoku is a MUST-START next week against Denver, a team that is BLEEDING production to tight ends this season. And he has been clearly DTR’s favorite target in both the rookie’s starts.
