Fantasy Football Trade Advice

DK Metcalf (WR – SEA)

Rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba was involved with nine targets, catching five passes for 53 yards, while DK Metcalf led in targets with 11 (23% target share) but only managed 48 yards on 3 receptions, one of them being a 30-yard gain. Metcalf was targeted three times in the red zone but caught just one and did not score a touchdown. Metcalf had 166 air yards, 41% air yard share – the quintessential buy-low candidate based on his opportunity alone. Seattle will face Atlanta, Buffalo, and Los Angeles (Rams) before their bye week-a great overall schedule for the offense and its fantasy weapons. Invest in the Seahawks’ passing game, which is a +5% pass rate over expectation over the last three weeks.

DeVonta Smith (WR – PHI)

In the receiving game, A.J. Brown was the standout performer, catching six of his nine targets (36% target share) for 116 yards and one touchdown. His longest reception went for 40 yards. Brown had 152 air yards, 62% air yard share. ALPHA. No. 2 tight end Grant Calcaterra was highly efficient, grabbing all four of his targets (16% target share) for 67 yards, including a 34-yard reception. Calcaterra ran a route on 82% of the dropbacks as he took on the full Dallas Goedert role after he left with a hamstring injury. DeVonta Smith also had a solid day, catching three of his four targets (16% target share) for 64 yards and a touchdown, including a 45-yard catch. Smith’s production always booms when someone else in the receiving corps misses time.

James Conner (RB – ARI)

The Cardinals’ ground attack was led by Trey Benson, who gained 26 yards on five carries, averaging 5.2 yards per attempt, though he did not score. Benson was also part of a fumble (credited to Murray) on a botched exchange in the fourth quarter.

Emari Demercado added 25 rushing yards on four carries, while James Conner managed 24 yards on just seven attempts. None of the Arizona running backs recorded a rushing touchdown in this game. Conner did not record a carry in the second half. Conner had one red zone rushing attempt for two yards but did not score or have any targets. He was game scripted out of this contest. Fumbling a screen pass also likely didn’t help his playing time. If you want a low-end fantasy RB1 at a discount, Conner is your guy to target through trade this week. Snaps: Emari Demercado: 53%, James Conner: 28%, Trey Benson: 19%
