Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Josh Jacobs (RB – GB)

The Packers’ rushing attack was headed by Josh Jacobs, who carried the ball 18 times for 62 yards, averaging 3.4 yards per carry but did not score a rushing touchdown. Emanuel Wilson contributed with 54 rushing yards on seven attempts, averaging a solid 7.7 yards per carry, though he also did not find the end zone.

Snaps: Josh Jacobs: 63%, Emanuel Wilson: 32%

At this point, Jacobs’ biggest problem is that Jordan Love just throws too many TDs. He’s been above average as a rusher. Third in carries, and 21st in rushing yards above expectation per attempt. Nobody “wants” Jacobs but he’s got the numbers, pedigree and lead role in a high-powered offense to be a difference-maker in fantasy football. Trade for him.

Mike Evans (WR – TB)

Mike Evans was targeted six times, catching two passes for 34 yards, with a long of 17 yards, while tight end Cade Otton added two catches on six targets for 15 yards and one touchdown. Otton had two red zone targets, securing one and finding the end zone for a touchdown. Evans left the game briefly but returned. He recorded one target in the second half. Evans had 87 air yards, 40% air yard share. Buy low. He only ran a route on 62.5% of the dropbacks playing a season-low in snaps. The Buccaneers are going to need Evans over the next month. Tampa will play the Ravens and Falcons in the next two games, then the Chiefs and 49ers before their bye week.

Brian Thomas Jr. (WR – JAC)

Brian Thomas Jr. also had a meh outing, catching three of his six targets for 27 yards. Thomas Jr. saw two red zone targets but came up empty on catches and touchdowns. He led the team in routes run on 77% of the dropbacks. Not often you can buy low on a rookie as talented as Thomas. I’d take advantage. I think Engram’s return is going to overblow Thomas’ rest of season outlook, when Gabe Davis was the one that really ate into Thomas’ Week 6 production. Don’t love another tough matchup in Week 7 against cornerback Christian Gonzalez but I’ll take the risk to get Thomas on my roster.
