Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Ladd McConkey (WR – LAC)

Ladd McConkey caught five of seven targets for 67 yards and one touchdown (26% target share). He might be a sneaky trade target while on bye this week. 27% target share this season.

Austin Ekeler (RB – WAS)

Brian Robinson had 21 carries for 101 yards and one touchdown (4.8 YPC). Robinson caught all three of his targets for 12 yards (10% target share).

Jeremy McNichols had eight carries for 68 yards and two touchdowns (8.5 YPC). McNichols caught one of one target for six yards (3% target share).

McNichols had a big role in this game in the absence of Austin Ekeler. Presuming Ekeler returns from his concussion soon, he’s a trade target for me. Ekeler looked great back from last year’s injuries, and this offense heavily involves the running backs. And if we saw Robinson miss time, Ekeler would be slated for upside akin to his glory years with the Chargers. Either way, this Commanders dynamic ground game should produce against the Browns.

Dontayvion Wicks (WR – GB)

Dontayvion Wicks caught five of 13 targets for 78 yards and two touchdowns (24% target share). Christian Watson left the game with an injury. Wicks saw 10 of his targets in the second half alone with three coming in the red zone. 200 air yards as Love was chucking it aggressively to Wicks to get the Packers back in the game. The breakout was delayed because of Love’s injury. But with Love back and Watson on the injury shelf, the Wicks is on fire. The Packers will play the Rams and Cardinals in their next two contests. Great matchups for the Packers offense to COOK.
