Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Week 4

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

Zamir White (RB – LV)

On the ground, Zamir White took 10 carries for 34 yards (10 short of Antonio Pierce’s goal), but struggled to find much room, averaging 3.4 yards per carry. Minshew added 14 rushing yards on 3 carries. Alexander Mattison had the goal-line carry (again) leaving White with nothing to show for a great matchup. Zero targets to Mattison’s 3 for 37 yards.

White played just 22% of the snaps. As an early two-down back on a bad offense that the team takes OUT at the goal line, White has virtually no use. He played 14 snaps (less than his 14.5 rushing attempts prop).

Mattison played 44% of the snaps, and is the better option rest of season.

Allen Lazard (WR – NYJ)

Allen Lazard corralled three receptions on three targets (9% target share), 48 yards and one touchdown in Week 3. He’s been the TD guy for Rodgers, but it might not last with so many other playmakers. Would be looking to sell high.

Josh Downs (WR – IND)

Josh Downs contributed with a 25% target share (five) and caught three passes for 22 yards. Mo Alie-Cox, Ashton Dulin, and Adonai Mitchell were also targeted once each, with no receptions.

Downs returned to a full-time role (72% route participation) while Pierce/Pittman remained staples on every down. Mitchell’s role tanked (9% route participation) in Downs’ return. He can be dropped in shallower formats.

The Steelers are “the” pass funnel defense. Downs saw a strong target share in his first game back. Add him if you need a WR play in Week 4. The second-year WR was targeted on 31% of his routes in Week 3 – same as Michael Pittman Jr.
