Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Breece Hall (RB – NYJ)

In the rushing game, Braelon Allen led with eight carries for 34 yards, while Breece Hall was held to just four yards on ten carries. Hall also saw five targets to Allen’s one while winning the snap battle 69% to Allen’s 36%. Similar to what the split has been so far this season.

This game was a slop fest in the rain. Hall couldn’t get anything going on the ground. Keep in mind that he only had one carry in the entire second half. He got stuffed twice from inside the Denver one-yard line.

Allen’s not going away. I think we can all see his talent. But I think an Allen backfield takeover based on this game is not one of my takeaways from Week 4. Hall still dominated the high-value touches in regard to targets, routes (nearly doubled Allen) and red-zone opportunities (three), two occurring from inside the 5-yard line.

How do you feel about Hall rest of season?

I’m settling on him as a buy-low. Hall still ranks tenth in touches among running backs, and number one in RB targets (24). Hall is pacing for over 100 targets (same as last season). Keep calm and Breece Hall on.

James Cook (RB – BUF)

James Cook had 9 carries for 39 yards, averaging 4.3 YPC with a long run of 7 yards. Cook caught his only target for 9 yards. The Bills ran into a buzzsaw (Derrick Henry) on Sunday Night Football, and they just couldn’t match the Ravens’ production. But that hardly means the sky is falling on this offense. After a prime-time dud, all Bills should be at the top of your trade target lists.

Jordan Mason (RB – SF)

Jordan Mason carried the ball 24 times for 123 yards (5.1 YPC) with one touchdown and a long run of 25 yards. Mason caught three of three targets for 37 yards. He’s a hold/buy for me because I have zero confidence that this Christian McCaffrey saga ends on a positive note. Mason is young and leads the NFL in rushing attempts (91) while ranking second in touches (97). I’m finding it hard to narrow my list of RBs I wouldn’t trade for Mason.
