Early Fantasy Football Trade Advice for Week 11
Players to Buy
Last week, Shough made his first NFL start, completing 62.5% of his pass attempts for 176 yards, a touchdown, an interception, and 9.2 fantasy points. However, he was significantly better in Week 10, completing 70.4% of his pass attempts for 282 yards, two touchdowns, and 19 fantasy points against the Carolina Panthers. The Saints have their bye in Week 9 but have an appealing schedule after that with matchups against the Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and New York Jets. Shough is an excellent and cheap superflex trade target.
Hopefully, fantasy players listened last week and traded for Henderson. The rookie was unbelievable on Sunday, totaling 14 rushing attempts for 147 yards, two touchdowns, and 28 PPR fantasy points. Meanwhile, Rhamondre Stevenson hasn’t practiced in two weeks because of a toe injury and is unlikely to play Thursday against the New York Jets. More importantly, Henderson might finally have taken over as the Patriots’ lead running back and has an outstanding upcoming schedule with matchups against the Jets, Cincinnati Bengals, and New York Giants before the Week 14 bye.
While many fantasy players have considered dropping Jeudy, the veteran had his best performance of the year on Sunday, totaling six receptions on 12 targets for 78 receiving yards, a touchdown, and 19.8 PPR fantasy points, setting season highs nearly in every category. Furthermore, he had his first game with over 9.3 fantasy points since Week 1. More importantly, Jeudy has started to earn targets from Dillon Gabriel, averaging 7.8 per game over the past four contests, totaling 12 or more twice. The veteran also has an appealing upcoming schedule.
Unfortunately, Jaxson Dart left Sunday’s game with a concussion, putting his status for next week’s game in doubt. However, Johnson has been quietly outstanding with the rookie under center. He has averaged 5.9 targets and 11.9 PPR fantasy points per game since Dart’s first start in Week 4. Furthermore, the second-year tight end has averaged 6.6 targets and 18.6 fantasy points per game in the five contests since Week 4, when not facing the Philadelphia Eagles, totaling at least 10.7 fantasy points in every outing, including 15.6 or more twice.
Players to Sell
Head coach Aaron Glenn stuck with Fields following the team’s Week 9 bye. However, the veteran struggled on Sunday, completing only six of his 11 pass attempts for 54 yards, a touchdown, an interception, and seven fantasy points. Furthermore, 40.2% of his fantasy production came on his seven rushing attempts, while 81.6% was from a screen pass to Breece Hall, meaning he scored -1.5 fantasy points on his other 10 pass attempts. New York faces the New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens, and Atlanta Falcons over the next three weeks.
Fantasy players likely have benched or even dropped Kamara after his recent stretch of awful performances. The veteran had averaged 7.7 rushing attempts for 21 yards and 4.4 PPR fantasy points per game over the previous three contests before Sunday’s matchup, averaging 2.7 yards per attempt. However, he was solid against the Carolina Panthers, totaling 22 rushing attempts for 83 yards and 14.5 fantasy points. The Saints won’t be in positive game script much more this season, like they were on Sunday. Sell high on Kamara while you can.
The Buccaneers’ wide receiver corps has been decimated by injuries this season. Thankfully, Emeka Egbuka is already a superstar. Meanwhile, Johnson has been solid, scoring 20.2 PPR fantasy points on Sunday, totaling four receptions for 42 receiving yards, and two of Baker Mayfield’s three passing touchdowns. However, the rookie had only five targets, the same total as Rachaad White. By comparison, Egbuka (13) and Cade Otton (12) accounted for a 58.1% target share. Chris Godwin and Mike Evans will be back at some point, making Johnson a sell-high candidate.
Schultz was my favorite streaming tight end option in Week 10. The veteran was excellent, totaling seven receptions on 11 targets for 53 receiving yards, a touchdown, and 18.3 PPR fantasy points, setting season highs or near season highs in every category despite having Davis Mills under center. However, he faced a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that can’t stop a nose bleed, let alone a capable tight end. Therefore, fantasy players should explore sell-high trade options. I would happily trade Schultz and a bench player to land Dalton Kincaid.
