Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Kyren Williams (RB – LAR)

Kyren Williams led the rushing attack with 22 carries for 102 yards, averaging 4.6 yards per carry, with a long run of 30 yards. Rookie Blake Corum added 25 rushing yards on five carries, averaging 5 yards per carry, with a long of 12 yards. Corum logged three red zone carries without scoring to Williams’ four red zone carries. Corum had two carries inside the 5-yard line. Kyren only had one but scored from the one-yard line after Corum couldn’t punch it in. Could this be a sign of things to come? Potentially. Corum hasn’t been used at all this season until this point. Going into the bye week, we could see his role expanded, as oftentimes happens with rookies. Again, there is no need to MUST sell Williams away. Most if not all running backs are in some kind of committee.

If anything, I am prioritizing making sure Corum is on my bench if I have Williams as my RB1. Remember that Williams’ fantasy production has been heavily weighed by his seven touchdowns.

He ended Week 5 with fewer yards from scrimmage than Bijan Robinson despite ranking second in the NFL in total touches (109) through five weeks.

But I think I’m just bitter about having faded Williams during the draft season. He’s doing exactly what he did last year. And the Rams’ offense could ascend in the second half. Per the FantasyPros SOS tool, the Rams have a favorable schedule for RBs. Maybe more of a reason to add Corum, than sell Williams. Especially with the Raiders coming up, having given up a big game to Najee Harris in Week 6.

Deebo Samuel (WR – SF)

In the passing game, Deebo Samuel Sr. led the 49ers’ receiving corps, hauling in three of his five targets for 102 yards, including a massive 76-yard touchdown reception that showcased his game-breaking ability. Samuel was targeted twice in the red zone but didn’t record a catch or a touchdown. What do we do when a singular 49er blows up one week? Sell high. I don’t anticipate either main 49ers WR posting consistent production throughout the 2024 season, unless there’s an injury. Still, Samuel’s role is superior for fantasy scoring to Aiyuk’s role in this offense. However, this week seems more like an Aiyuk game. Samuel has been held under 45 receiving yards the last two times he has faced Kansas City. Aiyuk has averaged nearly 9 targets per game in his last two matchups against the Chiefs.

Najee Harris (RB – PIT)

The Pittsburgh Steelers secured a solid performance on the ground, highlighted by Najee Harris rushing 14 times for 106 yards and one touchdown. Harris averaged an impressive 7.6 yards per carry, including a long run of 36 yards. Harris had two red zone rushing attempts for four yards but no targets or touchdowns. Harris also contributed as a receiver, with 2 catches for 16 yards on 2 targets, complementing his rushing production. Tight end Pat Freiermuth caught 2 of his 3 targets for 16 yards, while Jaylen Warren, despite his struggles on the ground, caught 3 of his 3 targets for 11 yards.

Snaps: Najee Harris: 46%, Jaylen Warren: 37%, Jonathan Ward: 9%
Interestingly enough, Harris played the fewest number of snaps since Week 2 but had his best game to date by far in 2024. Warren was active for the first time since Week 3. That’s all it took for Harris to get his production going. Go figure. I talked about last week how slow Najee has been traditionally, so I’d like to think this is a sign of things to come. However, this game stands out as a glaring outlier compared to his body of work this season. I think I’d use this opportunity to sell high on Harris. Schedule gets much tougher in the second half of the season with all six AFC North matchups.
