Do Not Wait, Trade For These Players Today

The Patriots might get A.J. Brown back as early as week seven, which would be a positive development for the offense.

Brock Purdy is recommended as one of the top two quarterback trade targets for teams needing help at the position.

Christian Kirk may return to the lineup as early as this week, though the context is focused on the 49ers' injury-depleted roster.

Christian Watson is having a phenomenal season and is expected to remain the primary fantasy producer among Green Bay wide receivers, potentially matching Matthew Golden in target share by season's end. While the Flock rankings place Malik Nabers behind Watson, Mattek disagrees, labeling Nabers a more dominant target-earner.

The source uses DJ Moore as an example of a player that managers might be surprised to give up in a trade for Rhamondre Stevenson, highlighting the potential value gap.

Mattek is debating between Tank Bigsby and D'Andre Swift, but ultimately leans toward Bigsby, especially given the uncertainty surrounding Swift's current injury.

Mattek advises trading away Davante Adams, arguing that Adams' current value is inflated by touchdowns rather than consistent underlying usage, to acquire Tank Bigsby.

Mattek explicitly states he would rather have Malik Nabers than Drake London in fantasy football right now, suggesting London is less desirable as a trade target compared to the Giants' receiver.

The source suggests that trading Emeka Egbuka for Rhamondre Stevenson is a reasonable trade proposal.

The source admits to being wrong about Isaiah Likely's preseason outlook, now viewing him as a star tight end who meets the elite criteria of running at least 75% of routes and serving as a clear number two option in a pass-leaning offense. He has been moved to 44th overall in the source's rankings.

The source compares Rhamondre Stevenson's current role to that of Javonte Williams, emphasizing a high-volume, reliable usage pattern within the offense.

Mattek ranks Malik Nabers as a top-15 player (14th) rest-of-season, viewing him as a clear buy. Despite a slow start, he posted back-to-back 20-point games with high target volume when Jameis Winston started. Mattek argues Nabers would have been a first-round pick if not for his ACL injury and prefers him over Drake London, Zay Flowers, and Christian Watson.

Matthew Golden is a high-priority trade target with elite usage, maintaining target shares of 20-30% and running routes on over 85% of dropbacks. He is currently operating in a T. Higgins-esque role within the Green Bay offense.

Mike Evans is a priority trade target who remains elite in efficiency, ranking in the top five in both targets per route run and yards per route run. The source is highly bullish on him, ranking him 36th overall and projecting an average of 15.5 fantasy points for the rest of the season with high touchdown upside. Despite playing through a rib injury, his health is expected to improve, and he benefits from playing with Brock Purdy. The source suggests trading away players like Saquon Barkley to acquire him.

Patrick Mahomes is recommended as one of the top two quarterback trade targets for teams needing help at the position.

The source suggests that trading Quinshon Judkins for Rhamondre Stevenson is a viable move for fantasy managers looking to upgrade their running back situation.

Rhamondre Stevenson is a clear buy. With TreVeyon Henderson expected to miss 2-4 weeks, Stevenson is set for a significant role increase, effectively existing in a high-volume, reliable usage pattern similar to Javonte Williams. Improved play from Drake Maye and a functioning offense further boost his outlook. The source is comfortable starting him even in games where he plays a secondary or tertiary role, provided the Patriots have a healthy team total, and suggests trading players like Quinshon Judkins or Emeka Egbuka to acquire him.

The source suggests that trading away Saquon Barkley is a viable path to acquiring Mike Evans in fantasy trades.

Mattek identifies Tank Bigsby as his number one trade target. Bigsby has secured a monopoly on goal-line work, is heavily involved in the passing game, and saw 81% of carries against Philadelphia. Despite being 'snake-bitten' by penalties and poor blocking from teammates like Chris Rodriguez Jr., Bigsby has proven his explosiveness. Mattek prefers him over Jeremiah Love, D'Andre Swift, Breece Hall, and DeVonta Smith, and advises trading away Davante Adams to acquire him.

TreVeyon Henderson is expected to be out for two to four weeks with an ankle sprain, with a potential move to IR if the injury is worse than indicated.

Tucker Kraft has become a smaller part of the Green Bay offense than initially projected, clearly ranking behind Christian Watson and Matthew Golden in the team's target hierarchy.

Mattek ranks Malik Nabers higher than Zay Flowers in his rest-of-season rankings, implying Flowers is a less valuable asset in the current market.
