Hey!
We’re back with trades - still the most underrated way to win in fantasy football.
Here are 3 wide receivers whose roles are far better than the public realizes right now:
#3 Tetairoa McMillan - elite usage and the touchdowns are coming
Another high-volume week with no score. McMillan saw 8 targets, caught 6 for 73 yards, and held a team-high 26.7% target share.
Through 5 games, he ranks Top 20 in targets and receptions, with 8+ targets every week despite a 57% catchable target rate. He’s doing everything right, the TDs just haven’t hit yet.
If you can swap Chase Brown or Kenneth Walker for him, that’s how you buy before the breakout...
#2 Matthew Golden - the rookie breakout brewing
After a slow start, Golden’s usage flipped in Week 3. Since then, he’s averaged 6 targets per game and led his team in receiving yards in back-to-back outings.
The trust is real - Jordan Love went right to him in crunch time before the bye.
With speed, college production, and growing volume, Golden looks ready to pop. Buy him before the potential breakout game against the Bengals…
#1 Jaylen Waddle - buy high before it’s too late
No Tyreek, tough matchup, and Waddle still delivered 9 targets, 6 catches, 110 yards, and 20 points.
That’s back-to-back games dating back to 2023 of proof that Waddle is a true WR1 when Tyreek is out. y.
If you can move Deebo or Travis Etienne for Waddle, do it now - before the price jumps into elite WR1 range…
These are 3 wide receivers I’m sending trades for right now — and you should too.
