Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Week 6

DJ Moore (WR – CHI)

Through the air, D.J. Moore was top target, catching five of eight targets (28% target share) for 105 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 21 yards per reception, with a long of 34 yards and 45 yards after the catch. Per Next Gen Stats, Moore went over the 100-yard mark for the first time in 2024, hauling in five of seven targets for 105 yards and 2 touchdowns (+24 receiving yards over expected). All 105 of Moore’s receiving yards came against zone coverage, tied for his 4th-most yards against zone in a game in his career. The Jaguars leads the NFL in man coverage snaps this season. Moore is averaging 1.26 yards per route against man coverage this season with five catches for 49 yards on nine targets.Moore tends to always be up and down with his production, so selling off the big game with the Jaguars on deck would be the time to sell. Keenan Allen leads the Bears in target share (28%) against man coverage this season. Not sure I can go back to him as a sneaky buy again in Week 6, but his value has to be close to rock bottom at this point.

D’Andre Swift (RB – CHI)

Running back D’Andre Swift was the workhorse on the ground, carrying the ball 21 times for 73 yards, averaging 3.5 yards per carry, with a long run of 18 yards and one touchdown. Swift played 67% of the snaps, higher than his rate from Week 4 (63%).

Roschon Johnson added 25 yards on 10 carries and two TDs. Johnson continues to make his presence found around the goal line with two TDs from inside the 1-yard line.

Swift had the first TD from the 1-yard line wiped away by penalty, and then was vultured by RJ two plays later in the second quarter. All in all, Swift had nine red zone carries, scoring one touchdown, but was not targeted in the red zone. He had four carries inside the 5-yard line.

There’s still risk that Swift gets vultured from time to time in the red zone from Johnson. And the plus-matchups are gone. The Jaguars are a solid run defense, and vast contrast from the Panthers/Rams the last two weeks. I’d sell high after Swift’s back-to-back top-five finishes with his bye week also approaching. However, if you’d rather just ride the wave Swift has the Commanders, Cardinals, Patriots and Packers after the bye week. Solid string of matchups.

Michael Pittman Jr. (WR – IND)

Michael Pittman Jr. contributed with five catches for 37 yards on eight targets, including a 27-yard-long reception and an early TD reception. Pittman Jr. had two red zone targets, catching one and scoring a touchdown. I was on the fence as Pittman as buy/sell last week, but after this past week he is entering the must sell conversation. Anthony Richardson will come back at some point, and the targets are being spread out between these other Colts WRs. Adonai Mitchell was also involved, securing 4 of 7 targets for 38 yards, while Mo Alie-Cox caught 2 of 4 targets for 37 yards, averaging 18.5 yards per reception. The rookie’s high-end target share is crazy considering he only ran 11 routes…64% target rate. He ran 31 fewer routes than Pittman and they posted almost identical target shares. Yikes.
