Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Jared Goff (QB – DET)

“Jared Goff – It’s hard to get any lower than a five-interception game, but there are a couple of strong reasons to suspect Goff’s off Sunday night was a fluke. One, the Texans’ defense ranks second in defensive DVOA. And two, Goff has had the most extreme home/road splits of current starting quarterbacks since he joined the Lions. I rank Goff as a top-10 quarterback back in Detroit in Week 11. And you could potentially snag him for Russell Wilson or Justin Herbert after their multi-touchdown games in Week 10.”

DK Metcalf (WR – SEA)

“If fantasy managers are concerned about D.K. Metcalf’s role in the Seahawks offense after Jaxon Smith-Njigba‘s monster outing in Week 9 versus Buffalo, go and get him. Metcalf is the main target in the Seattle offense, and they need him back in the worst way after missing the last two contests with a knee injury. Up next for Metcalf is the 49ers, a team that he has had relative success against in his career (55-680-5). If a deal for Metcalf can be focused around DeVonta Smith, Jayden Reed, or Chase Brown, that would represent a huge coup.”

Josh Downs (WR – IND)

“Josh Downs isn’t scoring a ton of fantasy points, but it’s not for a lack of volume. He’s been the only thing working consistently in the passing game for the Colts, and his nine targets per week are all but locked in at this point. Given his volume in this offense (earned from both Joe Flacco and Anthony Richardson), Downs is a weekly must-start that Downs managers might have been disappointed with in recent weeks. Though a better PPR play, Downs is still a great buy in half-ppr leagues, where he’s only finished as the WR34 and WR21 in back-to-back weeks due to a lack of a touchdown. But I’m buying in, even with a Week 14 bye, thanks to a decent schedule and an amazing target share. I’ll move Austin Ekeler, D’Andre Swift, a WR like Quentin Johnston, or a combination of two of these guys to get Downs.”
