Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Players to Trade For

Chris Godwin (WR – TB)

Chris Godwin caught 7 passes for 43 yards on 13 targets (27% target share) in Week 7. It was the second week in a row that Godwin saw a high target share (32% in Week 6) with 25 combined targets over the time frame. He’s being targeted on over 28% of his routes run. However the lack of scoring and yardage may have some fantasy managers soured on the Buccaneers slot receiver. For that reason, you need to be aggressive trading for him. The Baltimore Ravens bleed fantasy points to slot receivers, setting Godwin up for a nice bounce-back effort in Week 8.

Michael Pittman Jr. (WR – IND)

Michael Pittman Jr.‘s value likely suffers with a more ground-based approach with Sam Ehlinger taking over at QB. He’s still the clear alpha in the offense – 100% route participation in Week 7, 24% target share this season – so there’s some merit to buying low with hopes that Ehlinger’s impressive preseason (No.3-graded QB) as a passer will carry over to real-game action. Backup and inexperienced QBs oftentimes just dial onto one receiver, which could easily be Pittman in this case. I’d be much less bullish on Alec Pierce because he remains the team’s main deep threat, and that is not one of Ehlinger’s main strengths. Although, considering how bad Ryan’s was at this point in his career, it actually might be a slight upgrade. I’d imagine the Colts want to limit turnovers as much as possible, which means more safe throws closer to the line of scrimmage. Pittman’s aDOT this season ranks 10th-lowest in the NFL this season (6.8). If anything, at least the matchup versus Washington is favorable in Week 8. Overall, the Colts own the 4th-easiest schedule for WRs per FantasyPros Strength of schedule tool.

Keenan Allen (WR – LAC)

Keenan Allen in his 1st game back just 2 for 11 on 2 targets (32% snap share). DeAndre Carter (7) and Michael Bandy (6) had more targets. But Mike Williams also left with an injury. We won’t know the severity of Williams’ injury with the team on bye in Week 8, but there’s a non-zero chance Allen is the clear-cut No. 1 by the time Week 9 rolls around. Buy Allen.

Devin Singletary (RB – BUF)

Devin Singletary is the league’s most underrated bellcow. 17 carries for 85 yards and four catches for 22 yards on 5 targets in Week 6. 86% snap share and 67% route participation. Zack Moss was inactive and James Cook had 2 carries. Buy him coming off the bye week with him no top of mind for the majority of fantasy managers.
