Fantasy Football Trade Advice
James Conner provided the bulk of the groundwork, rushing 16 times for 50 yards, including a 20-yard burst, and scoring a crucial rushing touchdown. Conner handled three carries inside the 10-yard line as well. Trey Benson added 13 yards on just three carries. Conner also contributed to the passing game, catching 3 of 4 targets for 33 yards, showcasing his ability as a dual-threat back. This pass-game usage was lacking for Conner last season, so it’s encouraging to see his receiving role increased. With a great matchup on deck versus the Rams run defense, expect the Cardinals to keep feeding Conner.
Rashee Rice emerged as Mahomes’ top target in Week 1, catching 7 of 9 targets for 103 yards, with an impressive 78 YAC. The second-year WR commanded a 32% target share while commanding all the short-underneath targets from Mahomes. Hard to see him not leading the Chiefs in all receiving categories for the 2024 season.
On the ground, Josh Jacobs led the rushing attack with 84 yards on 16 carries, averaging 5.3 yards per attempt with five inside the red zone. Jacobs ran into a stacked box on just 6.3% of his carries. Last season this number was at 21.5%. If the Packers are forcing defenses into light boxes with their talented pass-catching group, we will continue to see an efficient Jacobs churn out yardage. Buy. Well, at least that was the case before Jordan Love went down. More to come.
We know that Matt LaFleur wants to use multiple backs, so the split between Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson wasn’t too surprising. Still, Jacobs got pseudo bell cow usage with a 73% snap share and 18 touches to Wilson’s 24% and 6 touches. Only one time last season did a Packers RB see a 73% or higher snap share. It’s happened just three times over the last two seasons. A mobile QB under center might open up more lanes for Jacobs. And the matchup in Week 2 is divine versus the Colts’ run defense. In Malik Willis we trust.
