Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Week 6

Garrett Wilson (WR – NYJ)

Garrett Wilson was a bright spot in the passing game, hauling in 13 of 22 targets (41% target share) for 101 yards, with a longest reception of 16 yards and an impressive 56 yards after the catch (YAC). Wilson had four red zone targets, catching two of them and scoring one touchdown.

Per Next Gen Stats, Wilson was targeted a career-high 22 times on 56 routes, resulting in 13 receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown (39.3% target rate).

All 13 of Wilson’s receptions came on short targets (under 10 air yards), including 16 of his 22 targets, the most targets and receptions under 10 air yards in a game in Wilson’s career.

If you have Wilson, you are thrilled with this performance. However, it’s still overshadowed by the fact it took Wilson 22 targets to reach his first 100-yard game of the season. With the Davante Adams reunion in New York rumors heating up – you have to put Wilson on the trade block and see if you can get any bites.

Kyren Williams (RB – LAR)

Kyren Williams led the rushing attack with 22 carries for 102 yards, averaging 4.6 yards per carry, with a long run of 30 yards. Rookie Blake Corum added 25 rushing yards on five carries, averaging 5 yards per carry, with a long of 12 yards. Corum logged three red zone carries without scoring to Williams’ four red zone carries. Corum had two carries inside the 5-yard line. Kyren only had one but scored from the one-yard line. Could this be a sign of things to come? Potentially. Corum hasn’t been used as all this season until this point. Going into the bye week, we could see his role expanded as oftentimes happens with rookies. Again, no need to MUST sell Williams away. If anything I am prioritizing making sure Corum is on my bench if I have Williams as my RB1. Just keep in mind that Williams’ fantasy production has been heavily weighed by his seven touchdowns. He has fewer yards from scrimmage than Bijan Robinson despite ranking second in the NFL in total touches (109) through five weeks.

Rhamondre Stevenson (RB – NE)

Rhamondre Stevenson was the lead rusher with 12 carries for 89 yards, including a long run of 33 yards, and one rushing touchdown. Antonio Gibson contributed six rushes for 52 yards, with a long of 24, while Brissett added a single rush for 10 yards. Head coach Jerod Mayo was a man of his word, benching Stevenson for the first drive with Gibson drawing the start. Didn’t take long for Mondre to start rumbling shortly after. Stevenson had 3 yards on his four catches (four targets). Gibson had one target. Still, the final snap count was a 50/50 split with each RB playing 28 snaps (47%). The Patriots took on a bad Miami Dolphins team in Week 5, but it’s followed up by the Texans, Jaguars, and Jets again in Week 8. If you want out of the Patriots (who doesn’t), the move would be to sell high now, specifically on Stevenson. His situation is so fragile and that can be tough to rely on. If Stevenson were seeing a Kyren Williams-level workload, he’d be fine. But New England’s constant effort to entertain the idea of Gibson is tough. If you are a RB on a bad offense, you need to see a ton of volume. I’m not confident that Stevenson gets back up to an elite level snap usage from earlier this season as long as Gibson is healthy. Then again, if you can sell a RB that has an even worse chance of seeing that level of workload, that’s a move to make for Stevenson. Keep in mind that Stevenson did suffer a calf injury in the fourth quarter after taking a helmet to the leg. The Patriots ran 12 plays after that on offense. Stevenson only came back for one of those 12 snaps. So, it really wasn’t a true 50/50 split. Up to that point, the snap share split was 56% for Stevenson.
