Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Ladd McConkey (WR – LAC)

Ladd McConkey is a good buy-low. This past week, he turned eight targets into four catches for 43 yards. What I liked is that he had two targets inside the 10-yard line. He has a 27% target share on the season, which is in the top 12. He’s the reliable target in the slot for Justin Herbert, and his production should continue to increase moving forward. I’d trade a player like Allen Lazard, Mark Andrews, or Rachaad White to acquire McConkey.”
Bob Miller (Dynasty Pros)

Ladd McConkey has been outstanding, posting the fifth-highest yards per route run average (3.62) among 98 wide receivers with at least 25 routes against man coverage this season (per Fantasy Points Data). Yet, he is only the WR50 for the year, averaging 8.7 half-point PPR fantasy points per game because of the Charger run-heavy offense. However, Justin Herbert is getting healthy and has set a season-high in pass attempts in back-to-back games, including 34 in a blowout win over the Denver Broncos. McConkey has had six or more targets in all but one game this year, including a career-high eight in Week 6. He had twice as many targets as any other wide receiver, earning a 23.5% target share and 23% target per route run rate. Fantasy players should explore selling high on Josh Downs and Michael Pittman Jr. for McConkey and a bench option.”

Garrett Wilson (WR – NYJ)

“Miraculously, the gods have bestowed upon us another Garrett Wilson buy-low window with the news that Davante Adams is headed to New York. In a moderate 20-point output in Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills defense, Wilson went off with an 8 for 107 and 1 line. However, Allen Lazard also had similar production, going 6 for 114 and 1, while Breece Hall also racked up the yardage. There is room in this offense for multiple pass catchers to eat while Breece gets his. And now the schedule looks to be one of the easiest of any team’s down the stretch. I’ll send away a back like JK Dobbins or Darnell Mooney – or package both together – to see if anyone is worried about Adams cutting into his workload.”
Jeremy Shulman (Fantasy Football Universe)

“Might be a bit late now after two solid weeks but we are looking to trade for Garrett Wilson. But with Davante Adams coming to New York, you might still be able to snag Wilson at a nice discount. The presence of Adams will undoubtedly free up space for Wilson. And at this point in their careers, Wilson is the superior receiver. Adams will get his looks, but we see Wilson as a week-to-week WR1 for the rest of the season.”

Tua Tagovailoa (QB – MIA)

“Quarterback play has been a bit inconsistent, and it’s created a broad base. In any given week, there are far more than a dozen signal-callers who feel like potential fantasy football starters. With that in mind, the price tag on Tua Tagovailoa couldn’t be any lower despite his imminent return. The Dolphins still have a fantastic cast around him. Tagovailoa should be available on the waiver wire or an easy trade candidate to trade for.”
