Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Week 4

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

Ladd McConkey (WR – LAC)

In the passing game, rookie Ladd McConkey led with 25% of the target share (six), catching three passes for 44 yards. Quentin Johnston saw just 8% of the targets (two) and turned his limited opportunities into 44 yards and a touchdown where he was wide-open. He can only catch so many wide-open touchdowns folks.

McConkey meanwhile, ranks 15th in target share at 26%.

Braelon Allen (RB – NYJ)

Rookie Braelon Allen led the rushing game with 11 carries for 55 yards, while Breece Hall added 54 yards on 16 attempts and a rushing touchdown. Allen looked like an absolute bulldozer, shaking off tacklers with ease. Per Next Gen Stats, the Patriots missed more tackles against the Jets (13) than they did in the first two weeks of the season combined (11).

Both RBs caught passes, with Hall going four for 29 yards on five targets, versus Allen’s three catches for 13 yards (three targets).

Understandably, there is panic about Allen’s immediate impact on Hall’s fantasy upside. While I do agree with this hurting Hall’s weekly ceiling, Hall can still be a top-five RB for the rest of the season. He remains super involved in the passing game, and the Jets offense is creating opportunities for TDs compared to last season. Fantasy managers should be satisfied enough if splitting touches save Hall for the long haul.

Denver’s another solid matchup for both RBs to find running room. They’ve been a bottom-10 defense versus RBs as rushers and receivers this season.

Cordarrelle Patterson (RB – PIT)

Cordarrelle Patterson added 33 rushing yards on 4 carries, averaging 8.3 yards per attempt. Jaylen Warren was limited to just 5 yards on 3 carries. Harris caught all 5 of his targets for 16 yards. Warren had one catch for -4 yards. Patterson also earned five targets for three catches and 15 yards. Warren was seen limping after the game. It’s a knee injury. Not good. We could see Patterson take on the Warren receiving role if the latter misses time.

Patterson could see an even bigger role as a rusher in Week 4 given that Harris has his arm in a sling.
