Fantasy Football Players to Sell: Week 4
Here are players we’re trading away in fantasy football Week 4.
Players to Sell
Kyren Williams (RB – LAR)
Kyren Williams led the rushing attack with 24 carries for 89 yards and two scores, while Ronnie Rivers chipped in with nine yards on two carries. Williams played 90% of the snaps.
Williams also had two catches for 27 yards (two targets) and another TD. He received 10 carries inside the 20-yard mark. It was an unbelievable effort from the Rams RB, akin to a lot of his production last season. Still the long-term outlook with the Rams is concerning given the status of the OL. I think the safe move is to just cash out after a three-TD game that could easily be Williams’ peak performance of 2024. The Bears defense on the road could be a much tougher challenge. The Rams will face the Bears and Packers before a Week 6 bye. And Williams has not been efficient as a rusher this season. He’s in the bottom 10 in rushing yards above expectation per attempt (-0.9) this season.
LA desperately needs the bye week to get their roster healthy and closer to full strength.
DJ Moore (WR – CHI)
On the receiving end, rookie Rome Odunze led the team with 21% of the targets (11), hauling in six receptions for 112 yards. But the rookie could have had an even BIGGER day. 234 air yards. His stats were boosted by the sheer volume Caleb Williams was pumping out. 52 attempts is not the norm. I hate to be the one that is bearish in a rookie WR breakout (especially for a top-10 pick) but this one game will be hard to duplicate. Three Bears WRs saw double-digit targets, without Keenan Allen available.
Therefore the move might be to just hold onto Odunze and instead sell D.J. Moore. Moore saw just 19.2% of the target share (10) with eight receptions for 78 yards (three red-zone targets). Again his final box score is boosted heavily by the Hail Mary grab. Sell high. And if it’s not this week you can get a strong return, wait until AFTER they play the Rams and their 32nd-ranked pass defense.
Rachaad White (RB – TB)
On the ground, Bucky Irving took the lead in rushing with 70 yards on 9 carries (7.8 yards per carry), but he didn’t find the end zone. Rachaad White added 17 rushing yards on 6 carries while playing a massive 74% snap share. He was also stuffed at the 1-yard line which would have salvaged his fantasy day.
Irving’s snaps were relatively the same as the last two weeks (32%). Despite White’s struggles, the team has not reduced his snaps. However, this will likely change going forward. Todd Bowles has seen enough White rush attempts to realize Irving needs more carries. White still has value in PPR as a pass-catcher, but his rushing can’t be relied on. And Irving isn’t a zero in the passing game either.
Javonte Williams (RB – DEN)
On the ground, Tyler Badie led the rushing attack, carrying the ball nine times for 70 yards, including a long run of 43 yards. Jaleel McLaughlin (five for seven yards and one TD) and Javonte Williams (five for 12) combined for 19 yards on 10 carries (51% snap rate).
McLaughlin replaced Williams on attempts inside the 5-yard line after Williams failed to score (although it looked like he broke the plane but he did not credit for the score). Williams finished with two attempts inside the 5-yard line. He also lost a fumble. Williams had one carry after that fumble.
At least he did catch all four of his passes for 29 yards. McLaughlin only had one target on a 26% snap share.
Badie flashed a bit last week and showed out again in Week 3. Expect his snaps to increase in Week 4. He played 19% of the snaps against Tampa Bay. It’s not so much that he was used early but that he was GOOD. He ripped off a 43-yard run in the fourth quarter as Denver was looking to eat the clock.
D’Andre Swift (RB – CHI)
In the rushing game, Roschon Johnson led the team with eight carries for 30 yards, followed by D’Andre Swift, who rushed 13 times for 20 yards. Khalil Herbert contributed nine yards on four carries. Part of his lack of efficiency is based on where he is seeing carries. Herbie has been strictly used as the Bears’ short-yardage back. All of Herbert’s red-zone attempts were inside the 5-yard line. But he only played 10% of the snaps.
Swift did have two red-zone carries in this contest. For negative eight yards. Woof. To make matters worse for Swift, Johnson was active (Travis Homer inactive), allowing RJ to see two red-zone carries as well. Johnson played 37% of the snaps in his season debut. Re-watching this game, you could barely tell Swift is the “starter.” He had another drop as well, while Johnson was soaking up targets in the second half. Those points still count.
It’s beyond over for Swift at this point. If he couldn’t get it done in this layup matchup, it’s not going to happen for him in 2024. Sell LOW.
DeAndre Hopkins (WR – TEN)
In the passing game, DeAndre Hopkins led the team with 73 yards and a touchdown on six receptions from seven targets and one TD, accounting for a 21% target share. Hopkins only ran a route on 50% of the dropbacks (same as Week 2) as the Titans limit the veteran’s snaps. If managers in your league believe this is his renaissance performance, sell high. Trusting any receiver (let alone one playing limited snaps) in this Titans passing offense is not something I’d recommend. If you can flip Hopkins for Calvin Ridley straight up, pull the trigger. The Titans will play the Dolphins in Week 4 followed by a Week 5 bye week.
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.
