Players to Buy or Sell

D.J. Moore (WR – CAR)

D.J. Moore finally converted the elite usage. 10 targets (48% target share), 69 yards and a TD, while running a route on 100% of dropbacks per usual. YLTSI. However, this one-off game where Moore scored (which doesn’t happen very often) provides you the perfect vehicle to ship him off to the highest bidder for those that think he will be the definition of consistency moving forward.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire (RB – KC)

Isiah Pacheco earned just a 40% opportunity share in the Chiefs backfield after being named the starter in Week 7. He led the team in carries (8) and rushing yards (43), but Clyde Edwards-Helaire scored on 1 of his 6 carries. Pacheco also totaled half of his carries in the second half. Neither caught any passes. Jerick McKinnon caught 2-of-3 targets for 36 yards. It’s clear this backfield is a three-headed mess with each guy carving out a niche role. Pacheco is the best pure rusher, CEH has a nose for the end zone and McKinnon is the preferred pass-catching specialist. Ergo, none of them are going to be reliable week-to-week in an offense that would rather just let Patrick Mahomes sling the rock. So sell CEH or really any of these Chiefs RBs. Edwards-Helaire played just 27% of the snaps and had just 6 touches.

Darrell Henderson (RB – LAR)

Darrell Henderson led the Rams backfield in Week 6 with 12 carries for 43 yards, adding two catches for 9 yards in 3 targets. Also scored a rushing TD. But Malcolm Brown was also somewhat involved in earning 7 carries for 15 yards (1 catch for 13 yards). Henderson didn’t play every snap (71%), so the role wasn’t as good as it was in Week 1. With the Rams a candidate to make a move at RB in lieu of the Cam Akers situation, I’d sell high on Hendo to someone that thinks he will be the RB1 rest of the season. Not to mention, after the bye week, the Rams face the 49ers and Buccaneers top-tier run defenses. And rookie Kyren Williams is expected to have a featured role, most likely as a receiver out of the backfield.
