If I seem out of breath, I'm sorry. I just returned from the streets shouting this incredible news: "There was an exchange in the NFL! An NFL trade! "
Significant exchanges occur so rarely, especially during a season, that it generates a lot of excitement. And for fantasy owners, it offers some hope … and others of despair.
In case you are in the dark since Friday afternoon, Browns running back Carlos Hyde will head to the Jaguars. This agreement has all kinds of ramifications, for different players of both teams.
First, the positives: if you've hidden Nick Chubb, get ready to be happy. With Hyde on the loose, the rookie will definitely see a lot of work. We are even willing to connect it to our files for this week against a porous defense of the Buccaneers.
It could also give Duke Johnson better opportunities, which is closer to the keys you used on draft day – 6 to 10 scopes and 6 to 10 targets per week, instead of 2 to 5 scans. failure. .
The agreement puts Hyde in the short term. We do not want to use it this week – in a new offense, it's not an ideal game. T.J. Yeldon will not go away, and certainly not right away. But may consider Hyde take the majority of the door in the coming weeks.
And now, for the negatives: the agreement also signals a real concern for the health of RB Leonard Fournette. The back of the second year has already missed four games with hamstring problems and will be present again this week.
Some reports have speculated on a return no sooner than week 10. Jaguars making an exchange of this type support the idea of such a timeline, if not longer.
If you want to take advantage of this transaction by buying or selling any of these coins, start with Chubb. He is the youngest, has the most benefits and his schedule includes lightweight defensive Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, Kansas City and Atlanta in the coming weeks.
We prefer Johnson to Hyde because we have a better idea of what to expect, assuming a role similar to that of last season while Chubb now assumed the role of Isaiah Crowell.
Hyde provides less clarity. He will be fighting with Yeldon for the moment, and although we expect Hyde to absorb more work in the coming weeks, we are not so sure because we are working more intensively at Johnson's Cleveland.
And there is the prospect of a return of Fournette, which would render Hyde and Yeldon unusable for fantastic purposes.
Fast: Go to your opt out now and check availability. Friday afternoon, Chubb was 20% owned in the ESPN leagues. I scrolled through 25 lists and I only found it available three times. It is quickly recovered. If you are negotiating, be prepared to pay. If you are dealing, do not hesitate to get started.
decision
Post Fantasy Madman, Drew Loftis and Roto Rage, Jarad Wilk, debate the debate you should start this week:
Kerryon Johnson against Sony Michel
Drew: Johnson – Consider this as a departure from a standard week. We will generally prefer Michel, who has put to bed the notion that the game of the Patriots is unpredictable. But we could be reminded this week that Bill Belichick can still surprise on occasion. Do not be surprised to see a game plan to avoid what the Bears are best: stop the race (fourth lowest number of yards per game, no TD hurry allowed throughout the season). And by the end of next week, we expect Johnson to inherit a larger portion of the workload from LeGarrette Blount, who has averaged 1.8 yards per run in the previous two games. compared to 6.0 for Johnson.
Jarad: Michel – Yes, Johnson has been successful this season, but trusting the Lions' hasty attack is like trusting a third-grade student to do the accounts for a Fortune 500 company. in his last three games, Michel has averaged 4.7 yards per run, 316 yards and four touchdowns. Although the Bears only allow 3.7 yards per race, Michel has 238 yards after contact, which he should be able to take advantage of because the Bears are below average against the RB after contact. In addition, the use of Michel's goal line should be more than enough to keep him in your lineup, but the same can not be said of Johnson.
Last week: Jarad 29.9 (Kareem Hunt – 10-80 in the race, 5-105 in the receiving end, 1 pm), Drew 4.9 (Jordan Howard – 14-69 in the race, 1 lost break)
Season: Series tied, 3-3
Big weeks
Joe Flacco QB, Ravens, vs. saints
($ 7,500 FanDuel / $ 5,400 DraftKings)
The Saints' defense has been better in the previous two games, but they were opposed to an offensive Giants offensive, Captain Checkdown Alex Smith and a fleet of broken Washington receivers. The Ravens' offense will have to score and he has been productive when he needs to throw.
Eli Manning QB, Giants, at Falcons
(6,700 FD / 5,200 DKD)
Our confidence in the futility of the Falcons defense outweighs our lack of confidence in Manning and the Big Blue Attack.
Chris Thompson RB, Redskins vs. Cowboys
(5,900 FD / 5,800 DKD)
Monitor his availability (treat rib / knee problems), but if he plays and considering the wide receivers' health, he will likely receive a fair amount of passing play.
David Njoku TE, Browns, at Buccaneers
(5,700 FD / 4,200 DKD)
Leaving an escape game and has three consecutive two-digit PPR outings. The Bucs can not defend anything. NOTE: Steelers, Chiefs, Falcons follow. Acquire Njoku if you can.
Small weaknesses
Andrew Luck QB, Colts vs. Bills
(8,200 FD / 6,200 DKD)
Bills play complicated games that do not earn a lot of points, especially for QBs. They have allocated an average of 8.6 fantasy points to opposing quarters over the past four weeks.
Deshaun Watson QB, Texans, at Jaguars
(7,500 DF / 5,500 DKK)
Jaguars can take away from the battlefield, marginalizing Watson's favorite targets – DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller. And Watson is not yet ready to resume its 2017 form.
Latavius Murray RB, Vikings, at Jets
(DF 6,500 / DKK 5,000)
Replacing Dalvin Cook, he set fire to the Cardinals, but it was the Cardinals – one of the worst defenses against fantastic opponents.
Greg Olsen TE, Panthers, at Eagles
(DF 5,900 / 4,400 DKD)
He has struggled to score TDs, even in good health, in the last two years. If you rely on the distance traveled and that 100% health is uncertain, facing the best defense against whimsical play is not favorable.
