Hey!
We’re back with trades, the most underrated way to win in fantasy football.
Here are 3 wide receivers whose roles are way more valuable than their fantasy points suggest right now:
#3 Jaxon Smith-Njigba - buy the usage, ignore the first-half lull in Week 4
Smith-Njigba just posted his “worst” fantasy line of the year and still looked dominant.
All of his production came in the 2nd half of a tight game, finishing with 5 targets, 4 catches, 79 yards. Down the stretch, he was Sam Darnold’s go-to option.
Through 4 weeks, his profile is elite: a 35% target share, averaging 8.5 targets and 100+ yards per game.
Darnold funneled Justin Jefferson 153 targets last year. Right now, Smith-Njigba looks like that player in Seattle’s offense. If anyone in your league is reading Week 4’s quiet first half as a concern, this is your chance to buy…
#2 Jakobi Meyers - bankable volume at a WR3 price
Two quiet weeks in a row are creating the perfect buy window.
Meyers followed a 7.8-point Week 3 with 7 targets, 4 catches, and 30 yards in Week 4. But zoom out, and the role is steady. He opened the year with 10 and 12 targets, and even when Tre Tucker exploded in Week 3, Meyers still produced 63 yards. In Week 4, he posted a 35% target share on a day the offense funneled to Ashton Jeanty.
Last year, after Davante Adams was dealt, Meyers averaged 15.7 fantasy points per game the rest of the way. That kind of role is still intact now. If your league values him as just a fringe starter, you have room to buy low.
#1 Tetairoa McMillan — the targets are elite, the touchdowns will follow
McMillan’s Week 4 looked average on the box score: 8 targets, 4 catches, 62 yards for 8.2 points. But don’t let that fool you.
The role has been outstanding. He’s hit a 25% target share in 3 of 4 games, averaging 8.8 targets and nearly 70 yards per game. Despite zero touchdowns so far, he’s already shown the ceiling, posting 100 yards on 10 targets in Week 2.
Right now he’s WR35 in fantasy points per game without a single score. Those touchdowns are coming, and when they do, he’ll look like a locked-in WR2.
This is your chance to buy before the breakout shows up in the box scores.
These are 3 receivers I’m sending trades for right now and you should too.
