It’s a new week of fantasy football and, depending on how the first four weeks have gone, it’s time to start solidifying your roster as a contender or make a few moves to put your team in position to make the playoffs. Before getting into the players you should trade for or away, let’s revisit last week’s trade targets to see what was right and what went wrong.
I wrote last week that AJ Dillon was a trade target and he had his best outing of the season running the football. But without a touchdown and limited passing work, he still didn’t crack double-digit points. I hope you traded for Josh Jacobs, who was the RB2 on the week, and Tee Higgins, who was the WR5.
As for the trade-aways, Damien Harris again was saved by a touchdown and had his best rushing output of the year. Deebo Samuel, in large part thanks to a 57-yard score, went off against the Rams and was more involved as a receiver than a runner. And Mike Williams, with Keenan Allen still out, bounced back with 120 yards. Not a great week to have traded away those players, I admit, but the trade-for targets got the job done, too!
