Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Week 11
Travis Etienne Jr. (RB – JAC)
In the rushing game, Travis Etienne led with 11 carries for 44 yards, including a long run of 18 yards and an average of 4 yards per carry. He scored, but it was overturned upon review. He was not involved as a receiver, with just one target.
Mac Jones contributed on the ground as well, rushing 5 times for 8 yards, including a rushing touchdown after Etienne didn’t punch it in. Tank Bigsby added 4 yards on two attempts before getting hurt in the first quarter. He returned but was not involved.
Given the state of the dysfunctional Jaguars, you just have to sit tight with this backfield. Etienne might be a sneaky buy given the injury to Bigsby if anything.
Per the FantasyPros SOS tool, the Jaguars have the second-worst-ranked schedule for running backs. Although it does ease up in Weeks 14-15 against the Jets/Raiders plus Colts in Week 17 (reason to hold onto Etienne and Bigsby).
Audric Estime (RB – DEN)
In the rushing attack, Audric Estime led the team with 14 carries for 53 yards, averaging 3.8 yards per carry with a long run of 10 yards. Marvin Mims Jr. added 17 yards on three carries, while Jaleel McLaughlin contributed 12 yards on two attempts, averaging 6 yards per carry. Mims seemed noticeably more involved with seven touches across the board and a red-zone reception. A lot of schemed touches for the second-year WR. He was the first Broncos player to have multiple carries. Also targeted on 57% of his routes.
McLaughlin started, but Estime led the backfield with four carries in the first half. The rookie also had another 17-yard gain wiped out on a penalty. The Notre Dame product had two red zone rushing attempts to Javonte Williams‘ one.
Javonte Williams ran a route on 26% of dropbacks but finished with just three touches. After an up-and-down season, the clock has struck midnight on Williams. It’s over folks.
McLaughlin ran a route on just 6% of dropbacks. As of right now, McLaughlin is a clear drop, with Williams’ taking over the pass-catching role “full-time.” IN shallower formats, both Williams/McLaughlin can be cut.
Because it’s FINALLY time for Estime. We have had signals that this change was coming, but finally we saw it happen in real time. Hopefully you were able to stash Estime ahead of the move, but if not he becomes the top waiver target this week.
That being said, per the FantasyPros Strength of Schedule tool, the Broncos have a bottom-five schedule for fantasy RBs for the rest of the season.
Diontae Johnson (WR – BAL)
Diontae Johnson and Charlie Kolar each contributed with a reception, while Henry and Justice Hill had limited contributions in the passing game. Keaton Mitchell played two offensive snaps.
Johnson ran a route on 8% of dropbacks (less than last week). Earned a 6% target share, totaling 35 air yards and making up 14% of air yards.
Ideally, we would like to see DJ supplant Agholor, but that still might be another week away.
Had this not been a short week, maybe we would have seen more of Johnson. I can say confidently that given it’s Steelers-Ravens this week, I’d bet Johnson starts to get really ramped up. Still, you can’t start him confidently. And if you need the roster spot with byes, he is first on the chopping block. Still he is going to get dropped in the leagues and I’d happily scoop him up as a roster stash.
But if I can keep that upside on my roster I want to. Every game the Ravens play turns into a shootout. Eventually Johnson will benefit. Also, if there’s an injury…his value would skyrocket.
