Trade Targets for Week 10 (Fantasy Football)
Another week, another slew of high-profile injuries…This week, we lost Puka Nacua, Josh Jacobs, Rhamondre Stevenson, and Malik Willis to longer-term injuries, plus (hopefully) minor injuries to Patrick Mahomes, Luther Burden, Jaylen Waddle, and Ladd McConkey. You know it is Week 10 when you are FAAB-dumping on guys like Corey Kiner and Konata Mumpfield.
Sigh.
The NFL Trade Deadline has come and gone, and we know which teams are going all-in on this season and which ones are trying to recoup for a rebuild. I would recommend you analyze your teams similarly, but this is not yet a dynasty article (it will convert to one after the fantasy trade deadline passes!). In redraft, you have to go all-in all the time! In that spirit, below are a few trade candidates for you to consider for Week 10.
Players to Trade For
Kyren Williams
“Sound the alarms: Blake Corum is taking Kyren’s job!…” I still don’t think this is going to happen, but the average fan and many analysts seem to think so, and trading in fantasy football is largely a game of sentiment. I will not deny that Corum has looked like the better rusher for the last several weeks. However, Kyren still has strong goal-line appeal, and with Puka’s injury, he could step up in a big way in the passing game. We already saw a 13-target game from Williams earlier this season, and I think the team could lean into him in a big way down the stretch. I would capitalize on the prevailing doubt in Kyren’s future and the fact that he was simply an RB2, rather than an RB1, in three of the last four weeks. To be clear, I am not necessarily buying Kyren at his draft value, but my expectation is that his market value is lower, thus making him a bargain.
Every week its like wow, Corum is coming for Williams' job and then you look and Kyren played 70% of the snaps https://t.co/8rwPAqkaeR

Rome Odunze
I admit I have not been high on Rome this season. I am a well-documented Luther Burden stan. I have also been on record recommending that you try not to trade for players who still have bye weeks remaining (the Bears are on bye this week). However, I am looking at Odunze’s upward-trending targets (5, 6, and 7 in his last three games, respectively) and the matchups remaining on the Bears’ schedule as reasons for optimism. They will have plus matchups against NO, @DET, and JAX, and then they get a juicy playoff schedule against @BUF, GB, and DET.
Odunze has topped 60 yards in each of these last three games, and he seems to be the preferred option in the middle of the field. With Burden dominating in the screen game and on deep shots, Odunze is finding the soft spot in zones in the intermediate area. Burden took a pretty nasty hit near the end of the Bucs game and is in concussion protocol, but I am hopeful he returns after the bye. If he misses any additional game time, Odunze’s upside will be that much greater.

Josh Jacobs
This one only works if you are pretty locked into your playoff picture. Jacobs is having finger surgery and is expected to miss the next three weeks, maybe more. However, these three weeks were going to include two brutal matchups (MIN and @LAR) and a bye anyway. If you can afford to stash him, the Packers’ matchups in Weeks 13-17 look solid (@NO, BUF, MIA, @CHI, HOU). Although Jacobs has not been running all that well yet this season (averaging just 2.22 YPC), his passing game involvement has been very encouraging (13 targets in two games). We have seen the other RB options for the Packers, and there is no one keeping Jacobs from retaking his workhorse role once he returns from surgery.
Players to Trade Away
Javonte Williams
Fading Javonte left me absolutely scarred last year, so I am hesitant to even mention his name! However, we just got a ceiling game from Williams, and the Cowboys’ schedule gets considerably tougher over the rest of the season. The team only has one “plus” matchup remaining (Week 11 against TEN), and they still have a Week 14 bye. Worst of all, their playoff schedule is absolutely brutal (@LAR, JAX, NYG). The Cowboys’ offense hasn’t been exactly humming this year, so I feel less confident that Williams will be able to get by on game script alone.
I am trading Javonte at the top of his value (RB5 on the season), and I am expecting a nice haul in return. If you need to break him into multiple startable assets, look for something like Jaylen Warren + Carnell Tate or Bhayshul Tuten + Rome Odunze.
Saquon Barkley
Surprisingly, Barkley’s three straight weeks of top-30 RB finishes present a sell-high window, compared to the rest of his season. He has scored a TD in each of the last three games, but he is averaging only 3.45 YPC over that span, and he has accumulated only 33 carries and three receptions in that time. Barkley’s snap share is all over the place (15%, 32%, 59% in the last three games); the team is on bye this week, and they have a QB problem. Even if Barkley maintains (regains?) stable production, the team has a playoff schedule that includes games against SEA, HOU, and @SF. There really is not much to like here, which is why I am trying to take advantage of the name value and the last three weeks of production to get out of the Barkley business.
Blake Corum
Yes, Corum has looked great as the 1B to Williams. And yes, the team will likely try to maximize their run game to keep games close during Puka’s absence. However, whereas Williams should retain value due to his passing-down work, Corum doesn’t have quite the same track record. Corum has only 10 catches on 17 targets this season.
What I did not mention in my advocating for Kyren above is that the Rams’ schedule down the stretch is not easy. They have matchups against KC and @SF, plus a Week 16 matchup @SEA and a championship matchup @TB. We are looking at a big-time championship letdown alert. I would capitalize on Corum’s hot stretch (five straight games as a top-20 RB) and the buzz that he may take over the backfield. He is due for TD regression, and I think it is coming.
