Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Bucky Irving (RB – TB)

Running back Sean Tucker stole the show on the ground, rushing 14 times for 136 yards, averaging an impressive 9.7 yards per carry, including a long run of 36 yards with a touchdown. He also contributed in the passing game, catching three of his three targets (8.3% target share) for 56 yards, including a receiving touchdown. Although he only had one carry in the first half. Tucker rushed twice for 13 yards in the red zone and scored one rushing touchdown without any targets. Bucky Irving also had a strong game in the backfield with 14 carries for 81 yards, averaging 5.8 yards per carry, and added two catches on two targets for 18 yards. Irving rushed four times in the red zone, gaining 24 yards and scoring one rushing touchdown, without any red zone targets. Snaps: Bucky Irving: 64%, Sean Tucker: 38%. Tucker did a lot of damage in the second half, but it’s not as if he wasn’t involved at all in the offensive game plan (used as a receiver). We don’t know what this backfield will look like if Rachaad White returns, but it could be a three-headed monster down the year. Irving’s price is at its peak right now, before a brutal matchup against the Ravens. Todd Bowles said post-game that Tucker has earned the right for more opportunities. In fact, Bowles used the word “three-headed monster” regarding his backfield. Gross.

Zack Moss (RB – CIN)

In the rushing attack, Chase Brown took the lead with 10 carries for 53 yards, averaging 5.3 yards per carry, with a long run of 30 yards. Brown scored to ice the game, but had another TD wiped away due to a offensive holding call.

Zack Moss contributed 13 yards on 6 carries but was limited to just 2.2 yards per carry. Moss also lost a fumble.

Snaps: Chase Brown: 62%, Zack Moss: 45%. Chase Brown szn also didn’t come to fruition (he also fumbled) but he got the lucky bounce with the ball going out of bounds. Brown started and out-snapped Moss for the first time all season.

Michael Pittman Jr. (WR – IND)

In the receiving game, Josh Downs was Flacco’s favorite target, seeing a 24% target share with nine targets. Downs hauled in seven of those targets for 66 yards, with a long reception of 22 yards and a TD. Downs was targeted twice in the red zone, catching one but no touchdowns. Downs has been a target machine since his return to the lineup, regardless of the quarterback under center. His 35% target rate per route run ranks 4th-highest in the NFL. Michael Pittman Jr. was targeted five times, catching three passes for 35 yards and one TD on a jump ball from Flacco. He was not limited despite entering the game with a back injury. But for the second straight game, he took a backseat to Downs. But MPJ also scored again. Take advantage and ship him off. With Anthony Richardson eventually back under center, only one Colts pass-catcher will likely be relevant. And I’d bet it’s Downs who is the most reliable based on his ability to command targets at an elite level.
