Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Week 6

Jerome Ford (RB – CLE)

In the rushing game, Jerome Ford was the leading rusher, carrying the ball nine times for 47 yards, averaging 5.2 yards per carry, with a long run of 9 yards. But his snaps were down from his usual workload, with just a 58% snap share.

D’Onta Foreman also contributed with nine carries for 44 yards, averaging 4.9 yards per carry, including a long run of 25 yards. Foreman carried the ball twice in the red zone but did not score on a 34% snap share.
Deshaun Watson rushed three times for 14 yards, while Pierre Strong had one carry for 2 yards.

Foreman started this game and led the team in carries in the first half. Ford didn’t see his first carry until the second quarter, although he saw targets before then.

This backfield usage is as back and fourth as it gets. Once week it’s Ford, the next week it’s Foreman etc. With Nick Chubb returning, the only Browns RB to roster is Ford given his pass-catching.

Ty Chandler (RB – MIN)

Ty Chandler led the team with 14 carries for 30 yards, though he averaged just 2.1 yards per carry. Aaron Jones followed with seven carries for 29 yards, averaging 4.1 yards per rush. Darnold himself ran the ball five times for 11 yards, while C.J. Ham and Myles Gaskin added minor contributions on the ground. Ham scored a goal-line touchdown.

Jones is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his right hip Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. He missed time in this game as a result. Do not be optimistic that Jones will just make his way back into the starting lineup come Week 7 (Vikings are on a Week 6 bye).

Chandler would inherit RB1 duties in Jones’ absence. He played a 63% snap share, despite Jones starting the game (22% snap share). Be ahead of the curve on waivers scooping him up.

Dontayvion Wicks (WR – GB)

Dontayvion Wicks had a team-high seven targets (28% Target share, 43% air yards share, 91 air yards), catching two passes for 20 yards, averaging 5 yards per reception, with a long of 7 yards. Malik Heath caught two of his three targets for 14 yards, and Bo Melton caught one pass for 12 yards on two targets. Wilson also had one target but finished with -9 yards receiving. Heath was a starter in 3-WRs sets alongside Wicks/Reed. Melton was the WR4.

Target shares were led by Wicks with seven targets (28% Target share), Reed with six targets (23.1%), Kraft with five targets (19.2%), and Jacobs with one target (3.8%).

As frustrating as Wicks’ performance was, you can’t tilt drop him. The Packers will play the Cardinals next. Another great matchup for the Packers offense to COOK.

Then it’s Houston, Jacksonville, and Detroit before a Week 10 bye week.
