Fantasy Football Trade Advice

Alexander Mattison (RB – MIN)

Minnesota’s loss to the Buccaneers seemed fitting. They were the most overrated team last year and got straight up served in Week 1. Alexander Mattison had an underwhelming performance with 11 carries for 34 yards but salvaged it with a receiving TD.

Out-touched Ty Chandler 14 to 4 with a 73% snap share. Still Chandler looked explosive on his 18-yard catch and run. Mattison totaled just 10 yards on 4 targets.

Sell high if you can. Gets the Eagles run defense Thursday night. You don’t want that.

Especially with the Vikings dealing with multiple offensive line injuries. After center Garrett Bradbury came out Week 1 with a back injury and was later ruled out, star left tackle Christian Darrisaw also left the game. Not ideal for a short week. The Buccaneers’ defense terrorized Kirk Cousins. Going to be the same story in Week 2 versus Philly.

Michael Pittman Jr. (WR – IND)

Michael Pittman Jr. posted good stats – 8 catches, 11 targets, 97 yards and 28% target share – but a large portion came from a 39-yard-long catch-and-run TD, making him a sell-high candidate in my estimation. The Anthony Richardson lumps as a passer is going to make Pittman inconsistent. Case in point, he had zero catches in the first half. One target.

Early in the game, it was the rookie Josh Downs connection with Richardson. 3 for 30 on 4 targets in the first half.

Mike Evans (WR – TB)

WR Mike Evans had a boom game with 6 receptions for 66 yards and 1 28-yard TD on 10 targets. Sell high on these boom-or-bust WRs after they boom. He won’t see a 50% air yards share every single week.
