Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Jayden Reed (WR – GB)

Jordan Love is expected to miss somewhere between 3-4 weeks, as the Packers did not put him on IR. However, LaFleur isn’t ruling him out of this week, although this seems like just gamesmanship than anything set in reality. Malik Willis will start in his place. Willis joined the Packers on August 26th in a trade for a 7th-round pick. Love’s go-to receiver in Week 1 was Jayden Reed, who was explosive throughout the game. Reed caught 4 of 6 targets for 138 yards, including a massive 57 yards after the catch (YAC) and a highlight-reel 33-yard touchdown. Reed showed his versatility, adding a 33-yard run for a touchdown on his only rushing attempt. Reed commanded over 100 air yards and ran a route on 73% of the dropbacks. As for what managers need to do in the Packers QB situation… For me, it’s still to buy Reed. Through Week 1, he leads the NFL in receiving yards (not counting MNF). Not saying this is sustainable, but it’s just a reminder of how great Reed is as a player. He is the “scheme touch” player in the Packers offense. I’m less concerned about his production with a backup QB. He might not even have to be someone you need to start anyway. The Love injury has opened a buying window for Reed. Take advantage.

Isaiah Likely (TE – BAL)

Isaiah Likely was the standout in the receiving game, catching 9 of 12 targets (29% target share) for 111 yards, including a significant 72 yards after the catch (YAC). He was targeted thrice in the red zone.

And he’s not “Likely” going away this season. That is a fact that I feel strongly about. All offseason, I can recall the beat reports claiming how great Likely looked and how he and Jackson were building great chemistry.

Baker Mayfield (QB – TB)

Baker Mayfield had a career day, leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a commanding offensive performance in Week 1. Mayfield completed 24 of 30 passes for 289 yards and 4 touchdowns, finishing with a stellar 146.4 passer rating, as the Buccaneers offense clicked from start to finish. The Bucs cornerbacks were devasted by injuries in this contest, setting them up for another shootout versus the Lions in Week 2. That, along with more favorable matchups, makes Mayfield a priority QB target this week.
