Hey!
We’re back with trades, still the most underrated way to win in fantasy football.
Here are 3 wide receivers whose roles are better than the public realizes right now:
#3 Jauan Jennings - the forgotten WR1
Jennings just led the 49ers in every receiving category in Week 8. He’s quietly operated as this team’s #1 receiver in back-to-back weeks.
And this isn’t even with Brock Purdy, who Jennings has proven chemistry with. Last year with Purdy he had weekly finishes of WR1, WR7, WR6.
Once Purdy is back, Jennings is a weekly flex with upside. Trade for him while you can…
#2 Nico Collins - the cheapest true WR1
Collins missed Week 8 and left Week 7 early, but zoom out:
Right now C.J. Stroud has this offense humming averaging 36 attempts with 9 TDs the past 5 weeks. Houston ranks Top-5 in both yards and scoring during this time.
Now Collins returns in Week 9 to face a Denver defense missing Pat Surtain. This is one of the cheapest WR1s you can trade for right now…
#1 George Pickens - the next spike stretch is coming
Pickens led Dallas in receiving last week with 9 targets, 7 catches, 78 yards, even while being shadowed by Denver’s top CB.
Everyone feared CeeDee Lamb returning. But the reality is Pickens still earned a 29% target share in Week 8 and is at 80 yards per game since Lamb came back.
Dak Prescott is dealing right now and the Cowboys are Top 3 in both points and yards.
There’s room for two fantasy starters here. Pickens is the one people are still undervaluing…
These are 3 wide receivers I’m sending trades for right now — and you should too.
