Fantasy Football Players to Sell: Week 6
Here are players we’re trading away in fantasy football Week 6.
Players to Sell
Garrett Wilson was a bright spot in the passing game, hauling in 13 of 22 targets (41% target share) for 101 yards, with a longest reception of 16 yards and an impressive 56 yards after the catch (YAC). Wilson had four red zone targets, catching two of them and scoring one touchdown.
Per Next Gen Stats, Wilson was targeted a career-high 22 times on 56 routes, resulting in 13 receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown (39.3% target rate).
All 13 of Wilson’s receptions came on short targets (under 10 air yards), including 16 of his 22 targets, the most targets and receptions under 10 air yards in a game in Wilson’s career.
If you have Wilson, you are thrilled with this performance. However, it’s still overshadowed by the fact it took Wilson 22 targets to reach his first 100-yard game of the season. With the Davante Adams reunion in New York rumors heating up – you have to put Wilson on the trade block and see if you can get any bites.
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. Could this be a sign of things to come? Potentially. Corum hasn’t been used as all this season until this point. Going into the bye week, we could see his role expanded as oftentimes happens with rookies. Again, no need to MUST sell Williams away. If anything I am prioritizing making sure Corum is on my bench if I have Williams as my RB1. Just keep in mind that Williams’ fantasy production has been heavily weighed by his seven touchdowns. He has fewer yards from scrimmage than Bijan Robinson despite ranking second in the NFL in total touches (109) through five weeks.
Rhamondre Stevenson was the lead rusher with 12 carries for 89 yards, including a long run of 33 yards, and one rushing touchdown. Antonio Gibson contributed six rushes for 52 yards, with a long of 24, while Brissett added a single rush for 10 yards. Head coach Jerod Mayo was a man of his word, benching Stevenson for the first drive with Gibson drawing the start. Didn’t take long for Mondre to start rumbling shortly after. Stevenson had 3 yards on his four catches (four targets). Gibson had one target. Still, the final snap count was a 50/50 split with each RB playing 28 snaps (47%). The Patriots took on a bad Miami Dolphins team in Week 5, but it’s followed up by the Texans, Jaguars, and Jets again in Week 8. If you want out of the Patriots (who doesn’t), the move would be to sell high now, specifically on Stevenson. His situation is so fragile and that can be tough to rely on. If Stevenson were seeing a Kyren Williams-level workload, he’d be fine. But New England’s constant effort to entertain the idea of Gibson is tough. If you are a RB on a bad offense, you need to see a ton of volume. I’m not confident that Stevenson gets back up to an elite level snap usage from earlier this season as long as Gibson is healthy. Then again, if you can sell a RB that has an even worse chance of seeing that level of workload, that’s a move to make for Stevenson. Keep in mind that Stevenson did suffer a calf injury in the fourth quarter after taking a helmet to the leg. The Patriots ran 12 plays after that on offense. Stevenson only came back for one of those 12 snaps. So, it really wasn’t a true 50/50 split. Up to that point, the snap share split was 56% for Stevenson.
Through the air, D.J. Moore was top target, catching five of eight targets (28% target share) for 105 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 21 yards per reception, with a long of 34 yards and 45 yards after the catch. Per Next Gen Stats, Moore went over the 100-yard mark for the first time in 2024, hauling in five of seven targets for 105 yards and 2 touchdowns (+24 receiving yards over expected). All 105 of Moore’s receiving yards came against zone coverage, tied for his 4th-most yards against zone in a game in his career. The Jaguars leads the NFL in man coverage snaps this season. Moore is averaging 1.26 yards per route against man coverage this season with five catches for 49 yards on nine targets.Moore tends to always be up and down with his production, so selling off the big game with the Jaguars on deck would be the time to sell. Keenan Allen leads the Bears in target share (28%) against man coverage this season. Not sure I can go back to him as a sneaky buy again in Week 6, but his value has to be close to rock bottom at this point.
Running back D’Andre Swift was the workhorse on the ground, carrying the ball 21 times for 73 yards, averaging 3.5 yards per carry, with a long run of 18 yards and one touchdown. Swift played 67% of the snaps, higher than his rate from Week 4 (63%).
Roschon Johnson added 25 yards on 10 carries and two TDs. Johnson continues to make his presence found around the goal line with two TDs from inside the 1-yard line.
Swift had the first TD from the 1-yard line wiped away by penalty, and then was vultured by RJ two plays later in the second quarter. All in all, Swift had nine red zone carries, scoring one touchdown, but was not targeted in the red zone. He had four carries inside the 5-yard line.
There’s still risk that Swift gets vultured from time to time in the red zone from Johnson. And the plus-matchups are gone. The Jaguars are a solid run defense, and vast contrast from the Panthers/Rams the last two weeks. I’d sell high after Swift’s back-to-back top-five finishes with his bye week also approaching. However, if you’d rather just ride the wave Swift has the Commanders, Cardinals, Patriots and Packers after the bye week. Solid string of matchups.
Michael Pittman Jr. (WR – IND)
Michael Pittman Jr. contributed with five catches for 37 yards on eight targets, including a 27-yard-long reception and an early TD reception. Pittman Jr. had two red zone targets, catching one and scoring a touchdown. I was on the fence as Pittman as buy/sell last week, but after this past week he is entering the must sell conversation. Anthony Richardson will come back at some point, and the targets are being spread out between these other Colts WRs. Adonai Mitchell was also involved, securing 4 of 7 targets for 38 yards, while Mo Alie-Cox caught 2 of 4 targets for 37 yards, averaging 18.5 yards per reception. The rookie’s high-end target share is crazy considering he only ran 11 routes…64% target rate. He ran 31 fewer routes than Pittman and they posted almost identical target shares. Yikes.
Rookie Brian Thomas Jr. was the standout performer, catching five of eight targets for 122 yards and one touchdown, averaging 24.4 yards per reception with a long of 85 yards and 70 yards after the catch. Certified stud.
Christian Kirk added four receptions on four targets for 88 yards, including a long reception of 61 yards. But his routes fell to a season-low (68%). Kirk’s not the target hog in this offense anymore, and it won’t improve if and when Engram returns.
Tight end Kyle Pitts added 88 yards and a touchdown on seven receptions, showing big-play ability with a 45-yard longest reception and 43 YAC. 48 air yards.
14% target share with his route participation back up to 81% – his highest rate since Week 1.
But he was just fourth in total targets, trailing No. 3 Ray-Ray McCloud III who saw nine targets catching six for 66 yards.
So, although this might appear to be Pitts’ breakout performance, it’s a sell-high opportunity after an outlier game from the Falcons offense.
Isaiah Likely was the main target in the red zone, with two touchdowns on three catches for 13 yards (three targets). Likely was perfect in the red zone with two catches on two targets, converting both into touchdowns while running a route on 64% of the dropbacks. Likely is the best tight end to roster on the Ravens rest of season. Andrews is nothing more than a streamer. It’s over. I tried to make excuses for him the last two weeks based on game script, but his usage this week in a shootout can’t be forgiven in any capacity. 34% route participation. 55% snap share. Vomit-inducing. I tried to hold out hope that Andrews could turn it around, but that won’t be possible unless the Ravens change his role. Given his decent game, maybe it’s not too late to flip him for something. My TE1 in the offseason will not come to fruition. Massive L for me.
