Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Players to Buy
Lamar Jackson‘s expected return lifts the offense’s touchdown ceiling, and the upcoming slate (MIA, MIN with two Bengals matchups) sets up favorable game scripts. His red-zone and TD upside remains elite. This is your last chance to buy an RB1 workload before another 100-yard game sends the price soaring.
However, be wary that Weeks 16-17 are tougher versus GB/NE for the Big Dog. But if you need to string together wins right now to get into the playoffs, Henry is your guy to target.
In the backfield, Josh Jacobs (54% snaps) handled lead duties despite nursing a calf injury, rushing 13 times for 33 yards and punching in a goal-line touchdown. Emmanuel Wilson (41% snaps) looked more explosive, turning 11 carries into 61 yards (5.5 yards per carry), though Jacobs maintained control of short-yardage and red-zone opportunities. Both backs were equally involved in the passing game — running 12 routes each — with Wilson catching three passes for 26 yards and Jacobs adding three receptions for 12 yards.
Not ready to say this backfield is a split…but Wilson is worth adding if you are just looking for a high-end handcuff – especially if you are the Jacobs manager.
Buy Josh Jacobs if a manager is freaking out about the Wilson usage. GB has one of the easiest schedules for ROS. Jacobs is also PFF’s 7th-highest graded RB this season. RB3 in XPPG. Buy lead backs on top-end offenses.
Warren handled 65 % of snaps and produced 62 yards on 13 carries, continuing his season-long efficiency. He’s top-10 in rushing success rate and PFF grade and faces a fantasy-friendly schedule. With some plus spots in the fantasy playoffs.
The Steelers’ offense is settling in, so Warren’s RB2 floor is valuable. The Steelers RB is also the RB15 in XPPG.
Buy slightly if his manager is worried about committee talk.
Players to Sell
Chuba Hubbard found the end zone but remains locked in a true 50/50 split with Rico Dowdle.
Per Mike Florio…
- Chuba Hubbard: 59% snaps, 12 carries, 11 routes, 1 target (34 yds, TD)
- Rico Dowdle: 34% snaps, 8 carries, 9 routes, 0 targets (54 yds)
However, the carries were 7/7 in the first half. And it looks like Dowdle might have lost out on a series after an Andy Dalton fumble (Hubbard took next series even after Dowdle’s was cut short). So, the touches are somewhat skewed in favor of Hubbard when they are still splitting drives.
Not ideal. Because I don’t think the Panthers will change their approach unless there is an injury.
And keep in mind that Hubbard might still be knocking off some rust after missing time with an injury.
However, it’s becoming increasingly obvious to anyone watching which Panthers RB should be seeing more work.
His efficiency lags behind his teammate, and Carolina’s injury-ravaged offensive line caps upside. Managers see a TD and assume stability — it’s the perfect time to cash out. Sell before the Packers clamp this run game in Week 9.
Travis Etienne was bottled up for the third straight game vs the Rams. 8 for 44 yards on just 54% of the snaps. Been talking about his fall off in efficiency, tough schedule and potential for a healthy Bhayshul Tuten to seize a larger role. Tuten has been on the IR with a shoulder all year, something that might not hinder out of the bye week.
All of these things are starting to become very apparent for Etienne’s fantasy value. Remains a sell with the Jags coming off their bye week.
I’ve talked about Etienne as a sell…and the tougher matchups he has had are hurting his production (although his efficiency was better in Week 7 with center Robert Hainsey back in the lineup). The Jags schedule doesn’t get much easier after the BYE with the Raiders and Texans in the next month.
Kamara logged only six carries for 21 yards and two catches in an offense that’s utterly stalled. He ranks RB29 in points per game despite RB12 expected usage, with PFF grading him near the bottom of the league. Devin Neal is stealing routes and targets. Sell before age and offensive collapse erase what value remains.
Hall erupted for 147 yards and two scores, even throwing a TD pass — a perfect sell-high spot. His upcoming schedule (CLE, NE) is a gauntlet, and the Jets offense remains volatile. Weeks 15-16 are both on the road, and Week 17 is the Pats. If he stays in New York, the bust risk is high; if he’s traded, role potentially uncertain. Flip him now for a locked-in asset before regression hits. Again…the Bengals defense is TERRIBLE.
