Recent Trades Affecting Player Values

The big news this week is the trade of Davante Adams to the Jets for a conditional third-round pick, which could turn into a second-rounder based on performance. This move brings Aaron Rodgers back into the Fantasy spotlight as a quarterback option, especially with Adams joining him in New York. Additionally, the Bills have acquired Amari Cooper from the Browns in exchange for a swap of third-round picks.

Running Backs to Consider

Injuries are taking their toll on several key running backs, including:

• James Cook (toe)
• Aaron Jones (hip)
• Jordan Mason (shoulder)
• Rachaad White (foot)

These injuries open the door for backups to step up. Here are some players to consider:

1. Ray Davis (38% rostered) – Faces a tough matchup against Tennessee.
2. Ty Chandler (51% rostered) – Up against Detroit.
3. Isaac Guerendo (8% rostered) – Will play Kansas City.
4. Sean Tucker (1% rostered) – Matches up with Baltimore.

While these players may see increased roles, be cautious, as their matchups are challenging.

Wide Receivers Worth a Look

The wide receiver position is also seeing some injuries, particularly to:

• Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion)
• Chris Olave (concussion)
• Rashid Shaheed (knee)
• Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder)

This creates opportunities for other players:

1. JuJu Smith-Schuster (42% rostered)
2. Demario Douglas (17% rostered)
3. Christian Watson (47% rostered)
4. Romeo Doubs (45% rostered)
5. Xavier Legette (39% rostered)

These players could become essential for your team, especially with the injuries piling up.

Tight End Replacements

With Dallas Goedert (hamstring) out, consider these tight end options:

1. Hunter Henry (34% rostered)
2. Taysom Hill (39% rostered)
3. Dalton Schultz (53% rostered)
4. Zach Ertz (64% rostered)
5. Cade Otton (39% rostered)

It’s a relatively good week for tight ends, so don’t miss out on these potential replacements.

Quarterback Targets

Several quarterbacks are dealing with injuries, including:

• Anthony Richardson (oblique)
• Tua Tagovailoa (concussion)
• Matthew Stafford (back)
• Derek Carr (oblique)
• Skylar Thompson (ribs)

Some quarterbacks you should check on are:

1. Caleb Williams (83% rostered) – Even though he’s on a bye, he’s been scoring over 27 points in recent games.
2. Anthony Richardson (82% rostered) – Expected to return this week with a favorable matchup against the Dolphins.
3. Geno Smith (82% rostered) – Had a rough Week 6 but had strong outings in the previous weeks.
4. Sam Darnold (73% rostered) – Scored well in recent games and faces a good matchup against Detroit.

Drop Candidates

If you’re looking to clear space on your roster, consider dropping:

• Justin Fields (83% rostered) – Likely to be benched soon.
• Justin Herbert (56% rostered) – Not delivering the Fantasy points needed.
• Deshaun Watson (44% rostered) – Struggling and not passing well this season.
• Derek Carr (39% rostered) – Expected to miss more games.
