Players to Sell
The Jacksonville Jaguars backfield usage is is slipping toward a larger committee: 54% snaps for Etienne, LeQuint Allen at 30% (led all RBs in routes), and Bhayshul Tuten mixed in (17%) with the goal-line TD. Etienne logged zero catches for the first time this year (season-low two targets). The season-long surface efficiency (5.9 YPC, third) hides shaky down-to-down performance (7th-worst rushing success rate), with explosives masking inconsistency-and a tougher defensive stretch looms until there Week 8 bye week. Liam Coen has room to trim Etienne’s workload further as rookies Allen/Tuten earn more work. Sell High.
Keenan Allen remains Justin Herbert‘s red-zone go-to and even drew two more penalty targets in Week 3-he’s a weekly start. But at 33 years old with missed time in each of the past three seasons, this is a classic ROI cash-out moment while the usage and name value are at peak levels. Don’t sell for fair value-sell for max value. Sell High – flip Allen straight up for a rising WR2 like Tetairoa McMillan,
Chase Brown‘s Week 3 snap share (55%) didn’t’ translate to usable production behind a beat-up offensive line, and the offense without Joe Burrow is compressing TD chances. Through three games he’s dead last in rushing success rate and sitting at 2.0 YPC-brutal efficiency with little weekly floor.
D’Andre Swift played 61% of snaps but the rushing has been rough (2.5 YPC; 9th-worst rushing success rate; PFF’s 7th-worst RB grade). The receiving juice and a couple explosives are masking rushing inefficiency, and he doesn’t own a lucrative red-zone role. Kyle Monangai mixed in early (Swift 4 first-half carries to Monangai’s 3), hinting at more of a split than a true bell cow-led backfield. With a tougher matchup vs. Las Vegas and a Week 5 bye looming, this is a good time to shop him. If you can get more than mid-to-low RB2 value, take it (target a stable WR2 or package Swift to tier up at RB/WR).
Volume is fine, but the receiving isn’t: Tony Pollard is running routes without targets on a Titans team that ranks 32nd in throws to RBs. Cameron Ward hasn’t been checking down, and Tyjae Spears‘ return is looming-threatening both snaps and high-value touches. Week 3 TD gives you a clean sell window before the pass-game ceiling (and possibly the workload) gets capped later in the year. Sell High.
DeVonta Smith‘s Week 3 spike (8-60-1 on 9 targets) came with a comeback script-he even drew the 2-pt try right after the TD. But historically, when A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert are both healthy, Smith’s target share/TDs get choppier. Tampa Bay could keep things lively next week, but then it’s Broncos, Vikings, and Giants twice-fewer shootout vibes than the Eagles-Rams game. Use the fresh box-score pop to exit at peak value. Sell High.
T.J. Hockenson had a resurgent Week 3 with season highs (25% target share; 5/49/1) and his first TD, buoyed by a TE-friendly matchup and a quarterback who funnels targets inside. But the setup changes fast: Jordan Addison returns in Week 4 to siphon volume, and Hockenson’s ceiling is still heavily target/QB dependent. This is a prime window to cash out at peak perception. Sell High. But if you can’t…he is worth holding and playing in Week 4 versus the Steelers who just got shredded by Hunter Henry.
Totaled 13 targets, 6 catches, 87 yds in Week 2 and 3. He was plagued by drops (including a TD that was intercepted) in Week 2. Week 3 he didn’t look he was on the same page with Mahomes at times. Sell for me. If Kelce cannot take advantage of being the Chiefs’ best receiver, it’s not going to get easier when the other WRs come back healthy.
