Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Week 11

Chuba Hubbard (RB – CAR)

On the ground, Chuba Hubbard dominated with 28 carries for 153 yards and one touchdown, averaging 5.5 yards per carry with a long run of 26 yards. Five red-zone rushing attempts, one rushing touchdown. Hubbard got hurt toward the end of the game but he returned.

Young contributed with 2 rushes for 30 yards, including a 24-yard scramble. Miles Sanders added 5 yards on 2 carries, averaging 2.5 yards per rush. He was carted off the field at the start of the second quarter. Jonathon Brooks was a healthy scratch.

Been suggesting Hubbard as a “sell-high” the last few weeks, but the opportunity seems like it’s long gone at this point. And my stance has changed given his new extension signed last week. He is the Panthers RB1 rest of season.

Brooks will make his debut in Week 12 for the Panthers, especially if the Sanders injury is serious.
He’s the future for the Panthers at running back, but now so is Hubbard. If Brooks just takes on the Sanders role – five to six touches per game – that won’t impact Hubbard in any way. Might actually make Hubbard a sneaky buy. Because Carolina has shown zero reason to believe they are ready to give Brooks a sizeable workload after drafting him in the second round of this year’s draft.

Rhamondre Stevenson (RB – NE)

In the ground game, Rhamondre Stevenson led with 20 carries for 74 yards, averaging 3.7 yards per carry with a long of 11 yards. He had seven red-zone rushing attempts but fell short of the end zone.

Antonio Gibson contributed 5 carries for 26 yards (all in the second half with two carries in the red zone), averaging 5.2 yards per carry with a long of 10 yards, while Maye added 24 rushing yards on 4 attempts. JaMycal Hasty got more usage early on, seeing five carries in the first half for 17 yards.

Stevenson had an uncharacteristic finish in Week 10. His streak as the Amari Cooper of RBs this season came to end. Nine games played this season. Five top-10 finishes (including three inside the top-5). Then three outside the top 40 overall.
Week 10 (MNF pending), he is RB25.

Still selling off the recent TD streak was correct. But an RB25 finish is hardly a dud based on a tough matchup on the road versus the Bears (although their run defense did not have Andrew Billings).

I think I’ve reached the point with Stevenson that all I care about is chasing his potential ceiling. So unless you are trading him for a sweet return (probably not) I think he’s now a buy candidate.

Amari Cooper (WR – BUF)

In the receiving corps, Mack Hollins was highly efficient, catching all four of his targets for 86 yards, including a long catch of 44 yards. Hollins ran a route on 85% of dropbacks with both Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman inactive.

Cooper (wrist) was inactive again for Sunday’s game against the Colts. And with that, it’s another week where his value will fall. Buy low. Coleman looks like he is going to miss more games than Cooper. The rookie has already been ruled out against the Chiefs in Week 11. Won’t see him until after the bye.

What do we do always do after Cooper busts or disappoints? Buy low, although that comes with the caveat you want to get on the Cooper ride at all.
