Fantasy Football Trade Advice
As for Ja’Marr Chase, I want to buy low on the talent and his game-breaking ability. But we saw him struggle out of the gates with an injured Burrow and post a meager 12 yards in a game that saw Browning play a ton.
The first month of the season, Chase was WR27 in points per game. If I can get a fantasy WR1 for Chase, I’ll likely pivot. But for another copy-past cookie-cutter fantasy WR2, I’d buy.
Still, the schedule is better for WRs than RBs hence my lean toward buying low on Chase versus Mixon. But it’s risky if this offense just tanks entirely with Browning at QB. Bengals games have gone from potential weekly shootouts to sub-39-point totals and a cloud of dust.
I’d kick the tires on Chase’s price to see where he’s valued heading into Week 12.
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 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 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, under the assumption Carr clears the concussion protocol.
A.T. Perry saw fewer targets but made a notable impact with 38 yards and a touchdown on 2 receptions. Came down with a jump ball in the end zone and played a TON with Michael Thomas out with an injury (3% snap share).
Raheem Mostert led Miami with 22 carries for 86 yards, averaging 3.9 yards per carry with his longest run being 10 yards. Salvon Ahmed added minimal yardage, rushing for 6 yards on 3 carries. Ahmed caught a touchdown pass on 1 of his 3 targets. Mostert earned 2 targets and ran a route on 71% of dropbacks.
Devon Achane also had a single carry before exiting with a knee injury ?. 1 target. He was trying to get back in the game, but the coaches kept him on the sideline.
Mostert was a straight-up bellcow as a rusher, earning 79% of the snaps. Ahmed played 29% of the snaps with Jeff Wilson Jr. a healthy scratch. Ahmed did get banged up toward the end of the game.
But again, Achane started the game. And I think if he get relatively positive injury news, he should be okay. I’d sell high on Mostert as a result. But with Achane being labeled day-to-day, it might be worth it just to hold Mostert at this point. Wouldn’t bet he plays on a short week (Black Friday).
Joe Burrow is going to miss the rest of the season with a wrist injury. Hate selling low, but I think that’s the move that needs to be made before the trade deadline’s close in the majority of fantasy football leagues.
On 17 Browning pass attempts, Irwin was his favorite target followed by Chase.
Irwin 7 – 41% Target share
Chase 4 – 24% Target share
Mixon – 2 targets
Jackson – 1 target
Hudson – 2 targets
Boyd – 2 targets
Irwin was Browning’s favorite target, but his role will likely be reduced when Tee Higgins returns.
The rest of the season schedule is also very tough. Entering Thursday night the Bengals had the most difficult schedule based on the opponent’s W-L record.
Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, Indianapolis and Minnesota, followed by Pittsburgh again and the Chiefs in the fantasy football championships. Woof.
I’m selling Joe Mixon easily on the idea that the Bengals will lean on him more with an inexperienced QB under center. The last thing you want is to overly rely on Mixon after he scored for the fourth in time in as many weeks. From Weeks 1-6, Mixon was the RB19 in points per game averaging just north of 10 points per game in half-PPR.
