Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Zack Moss (RB – CIN)

Zack Moss led the backfield with 12 carries for 34 yards, averaging 2.8 yards per carry. He played 80% of the snaps. Moss was targeted once for 13 yards and had five red-zone carries with zero TDs. But Chase Brown had a productive day on limited touches, carrying the ball four times for 31 yards, averaging 7.8 yards per carry. I hate to beat a dead horse here, but Moss hasn’t been inspiring at all with his usage thus far. I think Cincy might switch things up in the backfield if Moss doesn’t improve. Sell Moss and hold Brown. Alexander Mattison‘s role as RB1 for the Vikings was unmatched through two weeks in 2023. We all know how that ended up.

Rico Dowdle (RB – DAL)

Rico Dowdle led the ground attack with seven carries for 30 yards, averaging 4.3 yards per carry. He started and had the first carry. Ezekiel Elliott carried the ball six times for 16 yards. Deuce Vaughn had four rushes for 11 yards. Dowdle contributed to the passing game too, catching 4 of 5 targets for 29 yards. The snaps were 43% Dowdle, 40% of Elliott and 14% for Vaughn. Elliott ran the most routes. An ugly 3-way committee is forming where nobody can have success. To make matters worse, Zeke still looks to be the preferred candidate for red-zone usage. They played Elliott less to let Vaughn play more in Week 2. Sell Dowdle after he “started” in Week 2. With the Cowboys continuing to underwhelm in the ground game I’d speculatively add Dalvin Cook in deeper formats. Maybe he gets more run with nobody currently running away with the Dallas RB1 job. They will host the Ravens in Week 3, followed by the Giants, Steelers and Lions.

Zamir White (RB – LV)

Zamir White led the rushing game with nine carries for 24 yards (2.7 YPC), with a long of eight yards. Through two games, he ranks dead last in the NFL in rushing EPA. Sell.

Alexander Mattison had four carries for one yard and one TD. He was used at the goal line instead of White. I fully expect Mattison to take over this backfield sooner rather than later.
