Capitalize on the fantasy football trade market in your leagues with these players to target or trade away ahead of Week 7.
Buy low on Aaron Jones
Jones is coming out of his bye week and is dealing with a hip injury. He’s considered week-to-week since leaving his Week 5 contest against the Jets. Whether he plays or not in Week 7, it’s a tough matchup against the Lions. This makes for an interesting spot to buy low on Jones.
Don’t let his injury blind you from the fact that across his four completed games, Jones has averaged 18.6 fantasy points and 20 touches per game. He’s also seen strong receiving game usage on his four catches per completed contest. Jones is averaging 5.9 yards per touch this season and he should continue to be put in favorable spots to win for a few reasons.
First, he’s in a quality offense behind a solid offensive line. Second, defenses must focus their attention on Justin Jefferson, which will leave softer boxes for Jones to run against. Trade for Jones before his soft schedule in Weeks 8-10 is here. He’ll take on the Rams’, Colts’ and Jaguars’ poor run defenses.
Try to trade someone like Zay Flowers or Tony Pollard for Jones if you can.
Trade for Isiah Pacheco
I think it’s time we begin to remember the name Isiah Pacheco.
His original timeline to return from injury was between weeks 9-12. We are now in Week 7, which means we are nearing the return of the Chiefs’ starting running back. Right now, Kareem Hunt is trending up. He posted over 100 yards in Week 5 before the Chiefs bye week. But this likely won’t last once Pacheco is back.
Pacheco is trusted by coach Andy Reid in all situations. Early downs, pass protection and the red zone are all areas where Pacheco sees playing time. Remember: in Week 1, Pacheco played 80% of the snaps and handled 88% of the Chiefs’ backfield carries. He could be nearing a return soon given his initial projected timeline of 6-8 weeks, and that makes him a potential league-winning running back through…
