Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Josh Jacobs, Ty Chandler, Rashee Rice, Jerome Ford

We’ll help you navigate the trade waters of your fantasy football leagues all season. Not only is there the ‘Who Should I Trade?’ tool where you can get instant feedback, but you can also sync your league for free using My Playbook in order to get trade advice specific to your team through our Trade Analyzer and Trade Finder tools.

Here are all the players we’re buying and selling this week. And below let’s take a closer look at a few players to trade this week.

Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Jerome Ford (RB – CLE)

Jerome Ford led the ground game with 17 carries for 107 yards, averaging an impressive 6.3 yards per carry with his longest run being 28 yards. He earned 64% of the snaps. It was the first time Ford was efficient although it was somewhat bloated by a 28-yard run.

Quarterback Deshaun Watson contributed 37 yards on 8 carries, while Kareem Hunt added 32 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries (2 red-zone carries). Hunt played 36% of the snaps.

Ford, in addition to his rushing duties, caught one pass for 2 yards. Wouldn’t expect such a low number when he ran a route on 59% of dropbacks. Hunt had zero targets (1 negated by penalty).
Ford remains the back to own in Cleveland, while Hunt is super TD dependent.

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 6 scores in the last five games. Ford looks underpriced on DK at just $5,200.

Rashee Rice (WR – KC)

Noah Gray and Skyy Moore were notable receivers for the Chiefs in Week 9. Gray caught all 3 of his targets for 34 yards (team-high), while Moore contributed with 2 receptions for 33 yards. However, Moore only played 25% of the snaps and ran 10 routes.

The Chiefs had a balanced passing attack, with multiple players involved. Justin Watson led the Chiefs with 5 targets.

Rashee Rice scored while running a route on 60% of dropbacks – same as Week 8. Only two targets but usage remained the best among Chief WRs with another season-high in snaps (68%). Add him if he got dropped during the bye week.

Ty Chandler (RB – MIN)

Ty Chandler led the ground attack with 15 carries for 45 yards, averaging 3.0 yards per carry and scoring a touchdown. His longest run was 13 yards. Joshua Dobbs, the quarterback, was also an integral part of the rushing offense, gaining 44 yards on 8 carries and scoring a touchdown.

In the passing game, Dobbs completed 23 of 34 attempts for 268 yards and a touchdown, achieving a quarterback rating of 101.1. He was sacked once but did not throw any interceptions. OUR SAVIOR.

I waxed poetic about Dobbs being the No. 1 QB to pick up off waivers this past week and he delivered. He has the No. 1 schedule rest of season for fantasy QBs.

Alexander Mattison and Kene Nwangwu added 27 and 9 yards, respectively, to the running game. Mattison left the game with a concussion at the end of the 3rd but was out carried in the first half (5 vs. 4) to Chandler. Chandler had a 2nd rushing TD nullified by holding to go along with 8 4th quarter carries after Mattison left the game.

He’s the RB to add in this backfield with Mattison slated to miss the game after sustaining a concussion. He played 44% of the snaps to Kene Nwangwu‘s 4%. Overall, Mattison’s snaps were more of him on passing downs (19 routes run) than delivering as a ball carrier.

And it should be an aggressive bid. The Vikings have one of the most favorable schedules for fantasy RBs over the rest of the season.

Josh Jacobs (RB – LV)

Josh Jacobs, with an 83% snap count, led the rushing attack with 116 yards on 27 carries, averaging 4.3 yards per attempt and achieving a long run of 40 yards. DeAndre Carter and Tre Tucker added to the ground game with 15 and 9 yards respectively on a single carry each.

Don’t hate the idea of selling high on Jacobs. The Raiders are going to be inconsistent with a rookie QB and he still has his bye week coming up. The schedule isn’t great for RBs overall.
