Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Bijan Robinson (RB – ATL)

“Let’s get something straight: Bijan Robinson has not been bad to start the 2024 season – now, he hasn’t lived up to the 1st Round price tag everyone paid for him on draft day, but he’s been stable, posting 11+ points in every game so far this season. That comes even despite having just one TD and two touches at the goal-line (inside the 5) on the year in large part because the Falcons’ offense has run just 29 offensive plays in the red zone (sixth-fewest) and 13 plays inside the 10-yard line (fifth-fewest); one of which was a 19-yard receiving TD for Bijan called back on penalty this past week, which would’ve drastically changed the narrative of his game. To have made matters harder for him, Bijan and the Falcons faced the single-hardest SOS among RBs to open up the season (which allowed 20% fewer PPG to RBs than the league average), including matchups against Pittsburgh (2nd-fewest PPG), Philadelphia (13th-fewest), Kansas City (fewest), and New Orleans (12th-fewest). It gets a LOT easier for him going forward, drawing the 2nd-easiest SOS over the next four games, the fifth-easiest remaining schedule, and the 11th-easiest playoff schedule (not to look ahead too far). Now is the perfect time to make a pitch to a Bijan owner who may be a bit underwhelmed with their 1st round pick’s production, offering up an RB2 (i.e., Jordan Mason) plus additional capital to make a potential ‘home run swing’ on what should be an elite-RB1 down the stretch.”

Tee Higgins (WR – CIN)

“At this point of the season, we know the Bengals’ offense is good, and the defense is bad, which means the Bengals will have to score a lot of points in order to stay in games. Tee Higgins is a great player, and now that he and Burrow are both finally healthy, we may finally see the 2022 version of Tee. If he’s going to get 8-10 targets a game like he did last week and start scoring some touchdowns, Higgins has the potential to be a WR2. Right now, his value is a mid-WR3, and I’d be willing to trade away a Zay Flowers or Michael Pittman for him.”

Pat Freiermuth (TE – PIT)

“While Pat Freiermuth isn’t exactly lighting the world on fire, he is giving consistent production to his fantasy managers which is something that cannot be said for much of the TE position this year. Freiermuth has had at least four catches in each game thus far and produced his first touchdown last week versus the Colts. With how bad the position has been this year, it may be worth it to try and take a punt on the Steelers TE. Any trade involving Kareem Hunt, Courtland Sutton, or maybe even Keenan Allen could be enough to get a deal done.”
