Capitalize on the fantasy football trade market in your leagues with these trade targets and players to trade away ahead of Week 5.
Trade for Josh Jacobs
The sentiment is low on Jacobs because he hasn’t finished as a weekly top-20 RB this season. But his production has been fine. He already has games of 104 and 151 total yards this season. The problem is he has 0 touchdowns through four games. But in Week 4, we saw encouraging usage with Jordan Love back.
Jacobs earned four catches on six targets. He now has nine targets in two games with Love this season. That’s important because he only had one target in two games with mobile QB Malik Willis. The other reason people are down on Jacobs is backup Emanuel Wilson’s role in the offense.

Jacobs is playing well. He’s breaking tackles and averaging five yards per touch this season. Trade for him before he takes on the Rams in Week 5, who allow the most rushing yards per game. Try to deal a player like Terry McLaurin or Xavier Worthy for Jacobs.

Sometimes these expected points don’t matter if your offense or QB is bad, but that’s not the case for Smith-Njigba. Seattle ranks 11th in EPA per play on offense and Geno Smith is second in completion rate, completing 72% of his passes according to NFL Pro.
Smith-Njigba earned a 23% target share in Week 4. It’s the second time this season he’s earned at least 23% of the targets. This is an offense I want pieces of and Smith-Njigba is the most affordable piece with upside. His upcoming schedule against the…
