Fantasy Football Trade Advice

De’Von Achane (RB – MIA)

De’Von Achane led the team with 15 carries for 77 yards, averaging 5.1 yards per carry. He had a long run of 15 yards but was kept out of the end zone. He played 58% of the snaps in his return and rushed for his largest total since Week 2. Achane contributed in the passing game as well, catching two of his three targets for 8 yards. If you can buy Achane now, you have to do it. The schedule is JUICY for Miami’s RBs. Versus Arizona, @ BUF, @ LAR, vs LV, vs NE. Raheem Mostert also contributed with 11 carries for 50 yards, posting a 4.5 YPC. But he also lost a fumble and had another 32-yard carry wiped off the board because of a holding call. Mostert rushed three times in the red zone while playing a 33% snap share.

Jaylen Wright had five carries for 33 yards, with a notable long run of 19 yards, averaging an impressive 6.6 yards per carry. The rookie played six offensive snaps.

The first half carries were Achane (11) and Mostert (8). Even though Mostert is the next-man up, I think the team has liked what they have seen from Wright. I’d be selling Mostert and looking to stash Wright.

Diontae Johnson (WR – CAR)

Diontae Johnson caught just one of his three targets for 17 yards, averaging 17 yards per catch. 40 air yards, 63.49% air yards share, 17.65% target share. Johnson ran a route on 71% of dropbacks after he came out of the blow-out game. The low games for DJ are brutal, but his ceiling contests are still too good to write him off entirely. All of his targets came in the first quarter. You probably don’t have to trade for Diontae this week given the matchup against Denver, but that might just be baked into the trade price.

DeVonta Smith (WR – PHI)

DeVonta Smith had a single reception for negative yardage (-2 yards) on two targets. 1 air yard, 1% air yards share, 14.29% target share. This was the most outlier of outlier games for Smith. Not involved at all despite Dallas Goedert being out of the lineup. Buy low.
The Eagles will face the Bengals, Jaguars, Cowboys, Commanders, Rams, and Ravens. The Eagles’ schedule is very good for the rest of the season. Per the FantasyPros SOS tool, it’s the No.1-ranked schedule for quarterbacks and RBs.
