Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Calvin Ridley was the primary target in the receiving game, catching 7 of his 9 targets (28.1% target share) for 103 yards and 2 touchdowns. Naturally, Zay Jones was back to Ridley balls out.
I think the splits with a Jones are somewhat noisy – as Ridley has been just more matchup-dependent based on the defense he has faced – but I do want to provide some semblance of why I think Jones being active helps Ridley be more productive. Pointing specifically to Weeks 1, 5 and last week. Jones playing allows the Jaguars to be more versatile with how they deploy Ridley. He’s no longer Pidgeon-held to being stuck on the perimeter running strictly go-routes and curls. He played his most slot snaps of the year in Week 11. Ridley can be used more over the middle/intermediate level of the field as an actual route-runner.
Christian Kirk contributed with 48 yards on 3 receptions from 6 targets (19% target share). Johnson made a significant impact with a 34-yard reception on his lone target, and Evan Engram caught 4 passes for 29 yards on 6 targets (19% target share).
Zay Jones also contributed to the receiving efforts, adding 20 yards on 4 receptions (4 targets). Played his normal role, running a route on 77% of dropbacks.
Even with Jones back, I’d still be wary of holding Ridley too close. Prime time to sell high after a big boom game against a horrible defense. And it’s the perfect time to buy Christian Kirk, who has been Lawrence’s go-to guy all season.
Don’t let one game let you forget, Ridley has been nothing more than a boom-or-bust fantasy WR3 this season.
In Week 11, the Baltimore Ravens showcased a strong rushing performance coupled with an effective passing game. Gus Edwards led the rushing attack with 12 carries for 62 yards, averaging 5.2 yards per carry and scoring 2 red-zone touchdowns, including a long run of 26 yards. He played 38% of the snaps (25) and caught both of his targets for 8 yards. His red-zone usage remains outstanding. The TDs won’t always be there, so he is more of a sell high – Ravens still have their bye week upcoming along with some less-than-stellar matchups – but no sense moving him if you can’t get any strong return even with the backfield operating more by committee.
Keaton Mitchell contributed 33 yards on 8 carries – by far his largest workload of the season. He also played just one fewer snap than Edwards (36%). An increase from 24% the week before.
Mitchell only saw one target, but he saw only one fewer carry than Edwards in the first half.
Justice Hill was used as a distance third RB, playing just 26% of the snaps, while receiving just one carry. He can be dropped with him falling to RB3 in the pecking order.
Mitchell continues to be put into a position to deliver splash plays and his role is growing in the offense. 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.
The Buffalo Bills’ ground game was paced by James Cook, who amassed 73 yards on 17 carries, averaging 4.3 yards per carry with his longest run being 12 yards. He played 46% of the snaps – same as last week.
Latavius Murray contributed 35 yards on 10 carries, while quarterback Josh Allen added 15 yards on 5 carries. 32% snap share.
Murray and Cook split routes, while neither scored on the ground. Cook showcased his versatility with 29 receiving yards and a touchdown on 3 catches with 4 targets.
Scatback and long-time truther Ty Johnson had a productive outing with 47 yards and a touchdown on 3 receptions from 3 targets (10.3% target share). Also tallied 3 carries while tallying a 21% snap share.
With more and more RBs being used in this backfield, I’ll try to sell high on Cook after the receiving TD. Schedule is rough for RBs: Eagles, Bye Week, Chiefs, Cowboys and Chargers.
Zach Charbonnet led the rushing attack with 15 carries for 47 yards, averaging 3.1 yards per attempt. His longest run was 11 yards. Kenneth Walker III added 18 yards on 4 carries, but left this game early with an oblique injury and did not return. Charbs was a full-blown workhorse after Walker left the game. He played 85% of the snaps.
DeeJay Dallas contributed 4 yards on his single carry.
However, the Seahawks have one of the tougher schedules rest of the season for RBs. If you can flip Charbonnet solely based on the bell cow usage to the Walker manager…I’d pull the trigger.
