Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Austin Ekeler (RB – WAS)

On the ground, Jayden Daniels also contributed with six carries for 22 yards, though he did not score. Austin Ekeler had a quiet day rushing with nine attempts for only 21 yards, averaging 2.3 yards per carry. Ekeler had one red zone rushing attempt for no yards and no targets or touchdowns.

Ekeler was a significant threat out of the backfield in the passing game, securing four of five targets for 47 yards, including a long reception of 25 yards. Jeremy McNichols added 9 rushing yards on two carries.
Snaps: Austin Ekeler: 75%, Jeremy McNichols: 37%

Ekeler drew the start but had the worst matchup imaginable against the league’s premier run defense. Buy low on this backfield, specifically Ekeler. Week 7, hello Panthers run defense.

Ladd McConkey (WR – LAC)

Ladd McConkey was targeted eight times, catching four passes for 43 yards, accounting for a 26% target share and 97 air yards. McConkey ran a route on 76% of the dropbacks, despite suffering a head injury during the game. He does look to be okay though after returning to action. Assuming he is healthy, McConkey remains a top-trade target.

27% target share on the season. Top 12 on the season. Great matchup on deck versus Arizona, who just roasted from the slot.

David Njoku (TE – CLE)

Tight end David Njoku saw seven targets (30.4% target share), hauling in five receptions for 31 yards, with a long catch of 27 yards. Njoku had one red zone target but did not make a catch or score. Njoku ran a route on 73% of the dropbacks. Buy low. Jerry Jeudy‘s targets have gotten nuked since Njoku returned. With Watson at quarterback and targets coming at a premium, he can be dropped across most formats.
