Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Week 4

Here are players we’re trading for in fantasy football Week 4.

Javonte Williams (RB – DEN)

On the ground, Tyler Badie led the rushing attack, carrying the ball nine times for 70 yards, including a long run of 43 yards. Jaleel McLaughlin (five for seven yards and one TD) and Javonte Williams (five for 12) combined for 19 yards on 10 carries (51% snap rate).

McLaughlin replaced Williams on attempts inside the 5-yard line after Williams failed to score (although it looked like he broke the plane but he did not credit for the score). Williams finished with two attempts inside the 5-yard line. He also lost a fumble. Williams had one carry after that fumble.

At least he did catch all four of his passes for 29 yards. McLaughlin only had one target on a 26% snap share.

Badie flashed a bit last week and showed out again in Week 3. Expect his snaps to increase in Week 4. He played 19% of the snaps against Tampa Bay. It’s not so much that he was used early but that he was GOOD. He ripped off a 43-yard run in the fourth quarter as Denver was looking to eat the clock.

D’Andre Swift (RB – CHI)

In the rushing game, Roschon Johnson led the team with eight carries for 30 yards, followed by D’Andre Swift, who rushed 13 times for 20 yards. Khalil Herbert contributed nine yards on four carries. Part of his lack of efficiency is based on where he is seeing carries. Herbie has been strictly used as the Bears’ short-yardage back. All of Herbert’s red-zone attempts were inside the 5-yard line. But he only played 10% of the snaps.

Swift did have two red-zone carries in this contest. For negative eight yards. Woof. To make matters worse for Swift, Johnson was active (Travis Homer inactive), allowing RJ to see two red-zone carries as well. Johnson played 37% of the snaps in his season debut. Re-watching this game, you could barely tell Swift is the “starter.” He had another drop as well, while Johnson was soaking up targets in the second half. Those points still count.

It’s beyond over for Swift at this point. If he couldn’t get it done in this layup matchup, it’s not going to happen for him in 2024. Sell LOW.

DeAndre Hopkins (WR – TEN)

In the passing game, DeAndre Hopkins led the team with 73 yards and a touchdown on six receptions from seven targets and one TD, accounting for a 21% target share. Hopkins only ran a route on 50% of the dropbacks (same as Week 2) as the Titans limit the veteran’s snaps. If managers in your league believe this is his renaissance performance, sell high. Trusting any receiver (let alone one playing limited snaps) in this Titans passing offense is not something I’d recommend. If you can flip Hopkins for Calvin Ridley straight up, pull the trigger. The Titans will play the Dolphins in Week 4 followed by a Week 5 bye week.
