Overview

This video provides fantasy football trade advice focusing on running backs for Week 6. Hosts Ryan Warmly and Andrew Ericson discuss takeaways from Monday Night Football, offer macro-level trade strategies, and then break down specific running backs to buy, sell, and analyze in trios.

Key takeaways

• Monday Night Football Recap: The Jaguars defeated the Chiefs 31-28, with Trevor Lawrence having a strong performance including a game-winning drive. Key fantasy relevant players included Travis Etienne (mentioned as a potential sell-high), Kareem Hunt (scored two touchdowns), and Isiah Pacheco (usage concerns).
• Macro Trade Strategy: Focus on acquiring talented players with solid efficiency metrics, even if their current situation seems murky. Avoid overvaluing older players who start hot. Consider the impact of bye weeks on trade value.
• Running Back Buys:
  • Breece Hall (Jets): Seeing bellcow usage, including goal-line carries, with favorable matchups upcoming. Despite the Jets' record, Hall's individual production is strong and he's a buy-low candidate.
  • Derrick Henry (Ravens): A buy-low opportunity due to the Ravens' struggles and upcoming bye. After the bye, Henry faces favorable matchups, and Lamar Jackson's return could boost the offense.
• Running Back Sells:
  • Alvin Kamara (Saints): Concerns arise from his lack of recent touchdowns and the emergence of Kendre Miller and Taysom Hill in the Saints' backfield, coupled with an inefficient offense.
  • David Montgomery (Lions): Sell high after a strong performance against the Bengals. He remains a part-time back, and tougher matchups lie ahead.
• Running Back Trios Analysis:
  • Javante Williams/Kareem Williams/Breece Hall: Javante Williams is a strong buy due to his full recovery and consistent usage. Kareem Williams is a sell after a spiked week, and Breece Hall is a buy.
  • JK Dobbins/Alvin Kamara/Chuba Hubbard: Kamara remains a sell. Dobbins is a hold, despite injury concerns. Hubbard is a sell low after Rico Dowdle's strong performance.
  • Tony Pollard/DeAndre Swift/Zack Charbonnet: Charbonnet is a buy due to his efficiency and potential to step up if Kenneth Walker is injured. Swift is a hold due to his bye week already passed and potential for improvement. Pollard is a sell due to increasing usage of Taj Spears.

Yes, Travis Hunter is mentioned in the video. The hosts discuss his usage being "all over the place" due to him playing both offense and defense. They note that Jacksonville doesn't seem to have a clear plan for him, trying to find unique ways to involve him. This makes him "very tough to trust on a week-to-week basis" because his role changes based on the game plan. It's also mentioned that a Brenton Strange injury could open up more opportunities for Hunter as a receiver. He had three catches for 64 yards in the Monday Night Football game, including a 44-yard reception. There was also a note about him coming off the field limping at one point.
