Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Calvin Ridley (WR – TEN)

Calvin Ridley was targeted six times (21.4% of passing attempts), catching four passes for 77 yards, including 18 YAC and one TD. Per Next Gen Stats, Will Levis‘ 40-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Ridley had a 16.5% completion probability, the most improbable completion of Levis’ NFL career. Ridley actually had an earlier chance at a long TD grab that he came up just short of catching. Through two games, Ridley leads the NFL in air yards (300). The QB play leaves a lot to be desired, but Ridley is seeing ridiculous usage in Brian Callahan’s offense.

Jaylen Warren (RB – PIT)

Najee Harris was the primary workhorse with 17 carries for 69 yards (4.1 YPC), including a long run of 11 yards. Despite strong red zone usage the first two weeks, he has yet to find the end zone.

Jaylen Warren added 42 yards on nine carries (4.7 YPC), showing explosiveness with an 11-yard run.

Warren out-snapped Harris in Week 2 48% to 45%. Warren seemingly looks back to full health, making him a GREAT buy low target.

Warren was efficient in the passing game as well, catching both of his two targets (10% target share) for 19 yards and gaining 20 YAC.

Rashid Shaheed (WR – NO)

Rashid Shaheed was the standout receiver, catching four of his four targets for 96 yards and a touchdown. This man ran a route on 96% of the dropbacks. Shaheed is here to stay as an integral part of the Saints offense under new OC, Klint Kubiak.

This going to sound crazy, but Shaheed is the exact player to target as part of a “sell-low.” His stigma as boom-or-bust WR has nobody believing in him. Believe. His new role in this offense is unlocking his ceiling. 8th in receiving yards through two games on nine targets.
