Optimize your lineups rest-of-season with these fantasy football trade targets ahead of Week 9
Buy low on Mike Evans
Now is the time to buy in on Evans. A lot was made this past week about which Bucs receivers would replace Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, but Week 8 came and went, and no Bucs receiver stood out. Rookie Jalen McMillan earned the most volume with seven targets, but this translated to just 35 scoreless yards on four catches. It was TE Cade Otton and the Bucs RBs who were leaned on most in the passing attack.
The best move to make in this Bucs receiver room is to buy low on Evans. He should be back in a few weeks from his hamstring injury, and he’s posted three top-10 finishes in his five completed games this season. Not to mention, he won’t have to compete with Chris Godwin for targets the rest of the season.
Evans could return in Week 11 after the Bucs bye. He’d return to face the Giants and Panthers, two solid matchups, but more importantly, Evans has a great fantasy playoff schedule. He’ll face the Cowboys and Panthers in the fantasy playoffs; both teams rank in the top five in yards per passing play allowed this season per NFL Pro.
Trade someone like J.K. Dobbins or Darnell Mooney for Evans if you can.

Send a trade for Jayden Reed
Reed is coming off another game where he failed to crack 10 fantasy points. He’s now been below 10 points in four of his eight games this season. But this needs more context because Jordan Love was out or left early in three of the four games where Reed failed to top 10 points. But a concerning development happened in Week 8 as Christian Watson played a season high in snaps and was on the field more than Reed, according to PFF.
The bad news doesn’t stop there because Jordan Love injured his groin in Week 8 and could miss Week 9.
The Packers have their bye in Week 10….
