Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Week 11

Tony Pollard (RB – TEN)

Tyjae Spears led the backfield, rushing 7 times for 47 yards (6.7 YPC), while Tony Pollard also had 9 carries for 44 yards.

Spears led the Titans with five carries in the first half, although Pollard was getting some medical attention throughout the contest.

Tony Pollard: 29 snaps, 54% snap share
Tyjae Spears: 25 snaps, 46% snap share

The Titans coaching staff talked about wanting to limit Pollard and that reared its ugly head in Week 10. Per the FantasyPros Strength of Schedule tool, the Titans have a bottom-five schedule for fantasy RBs for the rest of the season. Pollard is currently 8th in the NFL in touches.

J.K. Dobbins (RB – LAC)

On the ground, Gus Edwards led the Chargers with 10 carries for 55 yards, averaging a solid 5.5 yards per carry and managing a long run of 11 yards. Edwards stepped in and had four red-zone rushing attempts but scored zero rushing touchdowns.

J.K. Dobbins handled 15 carries for 50 yards, at 3.3 yards per carry, and his longest run went for 12 yards. Dobbins had two red-zone rushing attempts, zero rushing touchdowns, one reception, one and red-zone target.

Dobbins added 5 receiving yards on 3 catches. Edwards had six first half carries to Dobbins’ eight.
Hassan Haskins had two red-zone rushing attempts and scored the one rushing touchdown. Absolute killer for Dobbins’ managers for Haskins to get the vulture touchdown.
Kimani Vidal (coach’s decision) is inactive against the Titans on Sunday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

JK Dobbins: 39 snaps, 66% snap share
Scott Matlock: 24 snaps, 41% snap share
Gus Edwards: 15 snaps, 25% snap share
Hassan Haskins: 5 snaps, 8% snap share

If Dobbins can stay healthy, he will be a force in the fantasy football playoffs against the Patriots. However, it’s tough sledding up to that point and adding Edwards into the fold as a red-zone headache is another layer of complexity.

Per the FantasyPros SOS tool, they also have the second-worst-ranked schedule for running backs. Might be time to sell high on Dobbins before the stretch run.

Najee Harris (RB – PIT)

In the ground game, Jaylen Warren led the team with 14 carries for 66 yards, averaging 4.7 yards per carry, with a long of 12 yards. Najee Harris carried the ball 21 times for 53 yards and scored a touchdown, averaging 2.5 yards per carry with a long of 11 yards. Harris did get banged up in this contest but returned in the fourth quarter. Five red-zone rushing attempts, one rushing touchdown.

Cordarrelle Patterson contributed 14 yards on three carries, also averaging 4.7 yards per carry.
Warren had five carries in the first half to Harris’ eight. Warren also had three red-zone rushing attempts, but fumbled at the goal line. Not a ringing endorsement for him to see more red-zone touches. Warren didn’t touch the ball again after the fumble.

Najee Harris: 37 snaps, 47% snap share
Jaylen Warren: 35 snaps, 45% snap share
Cordarrelle Patterson: 8 snaps, 10% snap share

I talked through several versions of the fantasy football forecast how slow Najee has been traditionally, so I’d like to think this is a sign of things to come. His last four games have been great. But the matchups against the Commanders, Raiders, Jets and Giants have been extremely soft spots. I have probably been too aggressive trying to be “early” on selling Harris, but the time is now.

I’d use another great game as the exact opportunity to sell high on Harris (11th in the NFL in touches). The schedule gets much tougher in the second half of the season with all six AFC North matchups. Warren is getting healthier and looking good, which could create problems for Harris in the second half of the season. Again, Warren led the Steelers in rushing with a 50% success rate in Week 10 compared to Harris’ 29% success rate and 2.5 yards per carry. The two Ravens matchup and KC in the playoffs is brutal for Harris.
