Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Josh Downs (WR – IND)

“Josh Downs has been outstanding the past two weeks with Joe Flacco under center. The second-year pro is the WR11, averaging 8.5 receptions on 10.5 targets for 75.5 receiving yards and 14.8 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, he leads the Colts in first-read target share (36.4%) and yards per route run rate (2.65) despite being third in route participation rate (68.7%) over the past two weeks (per Fantasy Points Data). Unfortunately, the good times will end when Anthony Richardson returns to the lineup as soon as this week. Fantasy players should explore trade options for Downs, targeting Ladd McConkey or Khalil Shakir in negotiations.”

Ja’Marr Chase (WR – CIN)

“Ja’Marr Chase is good for an absolutely insane week at least once or twice per season, and we got that against the Ravens in Week 5. It’s never too early to start looking toward the fantasy playoffs, though, and the Bengals face the vaunted pass defenses of the Titans, Browns, and Broncos in Weeks 15-17. If you can flip Chase for Justin Jefferson while he’s on bye or get a plus on top of A.J. Brown in a trade, the latter two receivers look primed to have better second halves than Chase as we gear up for a championship run.”

Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – ARI)

“Since his Week 2 breakout, Marvin Harrison Jr. has scored as the WR20, WR26, and the WR59. Outside of Week 2, he has yardage totals of 4, 64, 45, and 36. His catch rate is below 50%, and he’s outside the top 30 wide receivers in yards per route run and outside the top 40 in yards per target. While his dad was a separation specialist, Marvin Harrison Jr. has thus far struggled to create any separation at the NFL level. According to PlayerProfiler.com, he ranks No.83 among wide receivers in average target separation, and he’s outside the top 100 in route win rate. It’s not going to get any easier anytime soon, either. The Cardinals’ next five opponents are the Packers, Chargers, Dolphins, Bears, and Jets. I would rather have guys like Jayden Reed, Terry McLaurin, Brandon Aiyuk, and even fellow rookie Brian Thomas Jr. for the rest of the season.”
