Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Players to Buy
Justin Jefferson continues to perform at a high level despite inconsistent QB play. 4th in the NFL in target share (29%). 5th in air yards share (45%). 13th in PPG. He continues to get it done in this offense regardless of the QB. I think this kind of makes him a sneaky buy-low candidate with concerns about how his production will be when J.J. McCarthy returns. It’s certainly possible that it gets worse with the young QB back. However, there’s still a real upside case with JJ. Jefferson’s floor is so high that I think it might be worth the risk to see what his asking price is in your league.
Drake London did all of his damage in the first half back in Week 4, with 6-95-1 (RZ score) on 7 first-half targets. The Falcons’ No. 1 WR finally had the breakout game (38% target share, 40% target rate per route run) that I was hoping for when I was pumping his draft stock all offseason. London remains a buy and target if he can be acquired cheaper coming out of his bye week. I like the schedule coming up after the Falcons’ bye week (top-6 ROS). Keep in mind that the Falcons fired their previous WR coach before Week 4, in an effort to get more offensive WR production. So far, so good.
Through four games, London is the WR8 in expected PPG and PFF’s 10th-highest graded WR.
Tetairoa McMillan remains a priority buy-low target after seeing a 27% target share in Week 5 (6-73 on 8 targets with two more RZ targets). Head and shoulders above every other Panthers WR. Shown an extremely high-floor through 5 games (8-plus targets in each contest). 23% target share and 42% air yards share on the season (10th).
Dallas up next. Top-7 schedule ROS for WRs.
Assuming that Ricky Pearsall‘s health is in check…I want to buy low on him. Although he was not at the 49ers’ early week Monday practice (Jauan Jennings was there, Brock Purdy was not).
Before making a deal for Pearsall…let’s get him back to practice first. Not following for another Trey Benson fiasco. But if he’s healthy. Smash buy. Top-15 in yards this year despite battling injuries. And he is PFF’s 13th-highest graded WR.
Stefon Diggs continues to dominate in the Pats offense…after he broke out in Week 4. 10-146 on 12 targets (40% target share). He’s back to pre-injury form, and the WR1 rest of the season for New England. And he is so overdue for a TD score. He seemed to fall just short of the end zone on multiple occasions versus Buffalo despite looks near the end zone.
Patriots are BUYs because their schedule is so easy rest of the season. If you could buy-low on Drake Maye…after a zero TD game…DO IT.
Players to Sell
Last week, I said to buy/hold Ja’Marr Chase. I told everybody you have to wait. You have to wait. Chase then proceeds to go for 6-110-2 on 10 targets against the Lions. Mostly coming in the fourth quarter, down 28-3 against a Lions defense depleted of secondary options. This could be Chase’s best game ROS. Take advantage. Joe Burrow isn’t coming back anytime soon. And Jake Browning‘s on the road versus GB next week. Chase will have productive weeks when he’s playing at home (Weeks 7-9). And the fantasy postseason (Ravens at home/Dolphins) is juicy. But the floor can bottom out with Browning behind the Bengals’ terrible OL. If you can cash out for something really good, I think that’s the move to make. We can always revisit buying Chase closer to the fantasy trade deadline with the postseason closer insight.
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.
A.J. Brown did his best against Patrick Surtain (5-43 on 8 targets)…but we knew the matchup would favor DeVonta Smith‘s box score. The Slim Reaper went OFF, and had more production left on the cutting room floor (30-yard gain wiped away on a flag).
Unfortunately, the Eagles’ throwing 38 times per game isn’t the way they want to play.
Sell high on Smith with an inevitable heavy ground attack on deck for Thursday Night versus the Giants. Saquon Barkley had 6 carries in Week 5. That’s not repeating in Week 6.
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 WR49 in expected fantasy PPG this season.
