Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Week 4

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

J.K. Dobbins (RB – LAC)

The Chargers’ ground game was spearheaded by J.K. Dobbins, who carried the ball 15 times for 44 yards but failed to find the end zone. Gus Edwards chipped in with 3 carries for 9 yards. Disappointing day for Dobbins, but he earned all the yardage available in the tough matchup. He also caught three targets for 10 yards. Joe Alt also left the game late with an injury of sorts.

I guarantee the Dobbins manager is in full panic now. But here’s where you can buy low. Because even though the yardage wasn’t great, the rushing share was heavily favoring Dobbins over Edwards. Keep in mind that the carry totals were 27 (Dobbins) and 29 (Edwards) entering Week 3.

Dobbins hit a season-high 65% snap share in Week 3.

Rashid Shaheed (WR – NO)

Rashid Shaheed was targeted five times but goose-egged. He was close to a couple of big plays/scores, but Week 3 was not his day. He still accumulated over 100 air yards with a 53% air yards share. Buy low. The Eagles weren’t the zone-heavy matchup fantasy managers wanted Shaheed in. The Falcons – 11th in zone coverage per FantasyPoints Data Suite – is the spot for a major bounce back. They rank top-5 in Cover 3 and 31st in pressure rate. The exact recipe for Derek Carr-Shaheed bounce-back effort.

Anthony Richardson (QB – IND)

Anthony Richardson threw for 167 yards on 10/20 passing (50% completion), with no touchdowns and two interceptions. Richardson finished with a passer rating of 39.9. He fell just short of the goal line on two separate occasions, which killed his fantasy value in this matchup. One of the biggest issues with the Colts is the severe lack of plays run. They can’t get opposing offenses off the field because their run defense is so bad. And when they get on offense, their QB can’t string together drives based on his limitations as a passer. The Colts are last in time of possession (21:36) and in plays per game (50). 30 minutes/60 plays per game is the league average. The Colts need high-scoring game environments to unlock this passing game. Week 5 at Jacksonville is promising, but it gets grim again with the Titans. Miami and the Texans represent solid spots for him to be a fantasy producer Weeks 7-8. As for Anthony Richardson, he’s going through some Justin Fields-level growing pains as an NFL quarterback. Like I said before, he was very close to two rushing TDs and rushed for a season-high eight carries in Week 3. Last week was the combination of no TDs and horrible interceptions that are leaving fantasy managers pissed. But that’s why he’s a buy-low. You can easily acquire a quarterback with a top-5 upside (see Week 1) for next to nothing. Buy low, and stash him on your bench.
