Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Players to Sell
Players to Sell
Travis Etienne logged a 60% snap share in Week 4. The Jags used all 3 of their RBs for the second straight week, but that didn’t stop ETN. He ripped off another huge TD run (48-yard long) as he continues to thrive in the Liam Coen offense. However, the receiving usage was down again (just one catch, fewer routes than LeQuint Allen). The 49ers’ matchup might have been tougher had Nick Bosa still been part of the defense. Even so, give credit where credit is due. Etienne took advantage. However, I still think he’s a sell-high with the toughest defenses yet to come between the Chiefs, Seahawks and Rams before a Week 8 bye week. And I expect Bhayshul Tuten to get more involved in the second half of the season. Note that Tuten has been battling a shoulder injury, which might be keeping his snaps down.
It’s possible that AK41 could get traded with the Saints sitting at 0-4. Even so, Alvin Kamara‘s receiving has been inconsistent in this offense with Spencer Rattler. In two of four games with Rattler, Kamara’s been held to 2 or fewer targets. He had ZERO of those games in 2024. If Kendre Miller continues to get more involved, I’m concerned about Kamara’s season-long value. However, the schedule for New Orleans is pretty favorable coming up for the RBs. So if you have to hold or can’t get a decent deal – I think that’s the move.
Jordan Mason totaled a 62% snap share and 19 touches in Week 4. However, he didn’t score. I hate to admit it, but Jordan Mason might he a sell candidate. The Browns are a tough matchup in Week 5. Then you have the bye week, followed by Chargers/Lions. By the time the schedule eases up…Aaron Jones might return. Put him on the trade block and see if you can get any decent returns.
The Bears’ rushing attack is anemic. I’d anticipate some kind of change to this RB room post-bye week. Swift (66% snap rate in Week 4) is being his uber-inefficient self from last season. Sell before he loses his job outright. Through four games, D’Andre Swift has the 9th-worst rushing success rate at 3.3 yards per carry (Bottom-10 PFF rushing grade). Use the TD he scored in Week 4 as a reason to ship him off.
Volume remains solid, 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 (21-day practice window is an option for him to return), threatening both snaps and high-value touches. Another solid Week 4 gives you a clean sell window before the pass-game ceiling (and possibly the workload) gets capped later in the year. Sell High.
DK Metcalf buried me as a fade in Week 4 – ripping off a HUGE 80-yard catch-and-run to the house. But the facts are the facts. Through four games, Metcalf is outside the top-50 in expected fantasy points per game. 3rd-most points scored ABOVE expectation. And that’s because he owns a super low Adot (5.9) and a 20% target share (5.5 targets per game). He has scored in three straight games. Metcalf’s current usage (low-aDOT, low volume) suggests that his production will tail off dramatically. Sell high.
Just more low ADOT (4.3) and low-value targets for DJ Moore in Week 4 culminating into a 4-38 stat line .DJ Moore managers are just keeping their fingers crossed that he gets traded at some point. Because the role Moore has in this 2025 Bears offense is lackluster at best. Moore is the WR48 in expected fantasy PPG this season.
Can’t get much worse for Calvin Ridley. Had people ask me this past week if they should drop Ridley for Elic Ayomanor. After Week 4, I felt justified in telling those to pull the trigger. I don’t think Ridley will continue to be this bad for the rest of the season, but you can’t play him till we see more positives. In shallower leagues, he is a drop (for Ayomanor). It is interesting that he only played 54% of the snaps in Week 4, running a route on 40% of the dropbacks. Usage down, production tanking….Sell. HC Brian Callahan came out on Monday and said that Ridley had his snaps dialed back during Sunday’s loss to the Texans due to an undisclosed injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans’ official site reports.
Mark Andrews‘ routes took a massive hit with Isaiah Likely back in the starting lineup. Do not trust the Ravens’ tight end in the long run. He is TD or bust after playing just 56% of the snaps in Week 4.
Totaled 18 targets, 11 catches, 125 yds from Weeks 2-4. He was plagued by drops (including a TD that was intercepted) in Week 2. In Week 3 he didn’t look like he was on the same page with Mahomes at times. In Week 4, when his QB tossed 4 TDs…Travis Kelce was stuck on five catches for fewer than 50 yards. 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.
David Njoku is becoming an afterthought in the Browns offense. Harold Fannin more than doubled Njoku’s targets (he also out-snapped him 85% to 84%) in Week 4. ROS, you want Fannin as the Browns TE1. The rookie had 2 red-zone targets (with a RZ carry) but didn’t score last week. He has also out-gained Njoku in three of four games played this season. If a rookie QB goes under center for the Browns, that could take a toll on the entire passing attack, but especially Njoku.
