10 Players to Buy Low BEFORE Week 1 of Fantasy Football

This RB loves his Cheese (& I love him) I don't think people realize how good this guy was last year he was the number one targeted tight end in the red zone and no one's talking about it what are we talking about here if you're waiting till week one for Fantasy Football to start you are already behind the mental Warfare the grind set has already started and in today's video I'm bringing you 10 names that you should go trade for now by low before the NFL season starts and take advantage of your league mates the first name is Josh Jacobs we have been loving Josh Jacobs all offseason on this channel the main reason I think the fantasy Community has been lower on him is because Matt laflor really likes to rotate his running backs historically which technically is true in the last four years no running back averaged over 50% of the team's rushing attempts however lefl might be left with literally no option other than Force feeding Josh Jacobs why AJ Dylan is gone he's on season in IR their rookie running back Marshon Lloyd that they like has already had two hamstring injuries and he will not be available to start the season so realistically lefl might be forced to feed Josh Jacobs and let's not forget how damn good Josh Jacobs has been to start his fantasy career in his first five years he's been the definition of consistency averaging a career top 12 in fantasy points per game while typically being on one of the League's bottom half offenses in the NFL all right and every time his team finished top 15 in offensive points per game he was a top 12 points per game finisher in fantasy football and now he gets to join the Green Bay Packers it's the best offense he's ever been on Jordan love Jaden Reed Christian Watson Romeo dobs on Tavon Wicks that tied end Duo how many Red Zone trips will this offense have how many opportunities will Josh Jacobs have to score a touchdown this year I think he's guaranteed to get double digit touchdowns on the ground I want to tear down from the following names if I can we're going to try and do a two for two deal and improve our team elsewhere can I tear down from kirn Williams maybe not with the news now but try it can I tear down from Jonathan Taylor I think you can can I tear down from Isaiah Peko in ESPN you definitely can and I want to drastically improve at a at a different position quarterback wide receiver tight end here's some real trades that went down on the flock fantasy website we have access to real trades that down in ESPN Yahoo and sleeper leagues so in a one quarterback start eight League PPR someone got Josh Jacobs and Nico Collins they sent away Jaden Reed and Jonathan Taylor chefs kiss beautiful that's exactly what we want to do upgrading at wide receiver another perfect example of this which happened 14 days ago someone got Josh Jacobs and Justin Jefferson they sent away Debo Samuel and Jonathan Taylor perfect we upgrade from Debo to Justin Jefferson that's the kind of deals we want to get done the second player you should go trade for and I have been talking this this guy up all offseason The Rookie WR I want Everywhere is Brian Thomas Jr I am way higher on him than the consensus websites Brian is well ahead of schedule for your average rookie wide receiver like what do I mean by that well he's already a starter for this team if you look at the Jaguar starters how they were utilized in the preseason and their snapshare Gabe Davis played 100% we know he's a starter in two wide receiver sets but Brian Thomas rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas already in preseason week one to three played 88% of the snaps for the starters for the Jacksonville Jaguars mean meanwhile Christian Kirk is not playing in two wide receiver sets 88% of the target share for a rookie wide receiver is typically what you're seeing from the good ones after the team's bi-week midseason he's already that dude and this team has a glaring hole at wide receiver remember they lost Calvin Ridley Z Jones Jamal agnu the Jags have the fifth most vacated targets heading into the year over 40% of their Target hereare from last year is up for grabs and guys they had 18 targets available inside the 10 yard line this year if you look last year Calvin Ridley was third in Red Zone targets amongst wide receivers and that is gone Calvin is no longer there where are those sweet red zone targets going to go I think they're they're going to go to the new sexy name and Brian Thomas Jr and we see round one rookie wide receivers constantly beat their ADP in fantasy football look at guys who have done it in the past 5 years a huge list Chase Jefferson Wadd Wilson lamb alive flowers iay and Hollywood Brown by the way he was the seventh rookie wide receiver drafted in fantasy football drafts this year but he was the fourth drafted wide receiver in the NFL draft the NFL like these NFL teams put a higher emphasis on Brian Thomas than you guys are in fantasy football I would not be shocked at all if Brian Thomas is the top 15 surprise finish this year it wouldn't surprise me maybe it surprises the rest of the world we want to trade away the following names to acquire Brian Thomas Hollywood Brown Jordan Addison DeAndre Hopkins Keenan Allen Jameson Williams and courand Sutton those are all ADP adjacent options all right another The Cheapest RB1 Buy running back we want to go byy and we were drafting him everywhere for zero RB teams Jerome Ford we were not Nick chub people we got roasted for it but I think people might understand now Nick chub was placed on the pup list to start the season at minimum he's going to miss four games hey knee injury was as bad as it gets he tore his ACL the same knee that he tore his ACL all the way back in college so he's done it twice now and he also tore his MCL it was a nasty injury I don't know when he's really ready to go and Jerome Ford last year in replace of Nick chub from weeks 2 to 17 only played 52% of the snaps but he still had over 16 touches per game almost 13 and 1 12 points per game and finishes the RB 13 in that Span in that span he averaged more points per game than Nan Robinson DeAndre Swift and rre Stevenson if you went zero RB this is the perfect trade Target for you to start your year well go trade for Jerome Ford send low upside players in a trade again these are real trades that have happened because we have access to that database which is great jacobe Myers perfect go get Jerome Ford Zeke Elliot perfect go get Jerome Ford way less competition all right a Year 2 Breakout WR I'm Buying wide receiver you should go trade for before the season Jackson Smith and jiga I know I know you've been hurt before I hear you I too I too have been hurt before but this is a new year all right the best fantasy players can recognize change from one year to the next and they can capitalize on that change there's huge changes in Seattle Pete Carol's gone Mike McDaniel's in Mike McDonald's in excuse me Shane Waldren is gone as the offensive coordinator Ryan grub is in remember Ryan grub is the former Washington Huskies offensive coordinator and he has talked about how excited he is to involve Jackson Smith and J jiga and his new offense Ryan grub is the same offensive coordinator that helped Roma dun Jaylen pul and Jaylen McMillan all get drafted before round three in the NFL draft this year his offense also led to Michael pennick being drafted top 10 Ryan Grub's offense last year amongst 130 plus power five schools was first in passing yards per game was 12th in passing attempts per game and was ninth in total touchdowns per game I heavily anticipate js's role growing from year 1 to year two and if you look at preseason jsn was a starter in even two Personnel all right week one he played 91% of the snaps with the starters in week three he played 100% of the snaps with the starters now to be fair Tyler Lockett has been dealing with an injury but I believe and I'm projecting for jsn to overtake Tyler Lockett in two wide receiver sets try and get jsn for some of the following names that are adjacent and ADP Christian Watson I'd rather have Jon Christian Kirk Keenan Allen Jordan Addison and DeAndre Hopkins all right here's a tight end that you The BEST TE Buy Right Now should trade for if you missed out on one of the top names Jake Ferguson Fergie is about to go nuclear in 2024 I don't think people realize how good this guy was last year he was the number one targeted tight end in the red zone and no one's talking about it Dak Prescott loved finding Jake Ferguson when it was time to score a touchdown in fact he was the only tied in in 2023 with over 20 Red Zone targets no other tight end had 20 Red Zone targets Jake Ferguson number one with 23 Travis Kelce number two with 19 I mean what are we talking about here this is the offense that scored the most points per game last year and outside of CD lamb this is the weakest wide receiver room there is in the NFL here's some examples again trade low ceiling players to get a reliable starting tight end like truba Hubbert who I love but Jake Ferguson means more to me in that onesie position Devin single ter give me Jake Ferguson all right how about A WR EVERYONE is Sleeping On Deontay Johnson go trade for him last year this team had a wide receiver finished top 17 his name was Adam thel all right Adam Thelen averaged 13.6 PPR points per game on eight targets per game and I view Deontay Johnson as an upgraded version of Adam thielen in Deontay first 5 years in the league he averaged 8.3 targets per game across every single game in his entire career and you got people sometimes saying well they had to Target him stop it that's nonsense targets are earned we know that in the NFL and Deontay earned those targets and I know people are going to comment and say Bryce young sucks let's talk about that what if I told you in the last decade 10 years just 29.2% of rookie quarterbacks were able to support a top 24 wide receiver finish in fantasy football brung is part of that select 29% he is one of seven quarterbacks in the last decade to support a top 24 finish and now he's got Dave Canalis as his head coach the quarterback Whisperer in 2022 Dave Canalis helps goo Smith turn his career around in 2023 he helps Baker Mayfield turn his career around and now in 2024 everything the Panthers have done this offseason has been to improve Bryce Young's game and Deontay Johnson was a huge huge part of that this team is sneaky don't sleep on their wide receiver one okay here's a quarterback QB that will Gain Respect in 2024 that I think has sneaky quarterback one overall finish upside that's Kyler Murray the fantasy Community cannot stop sleeping on Kyler Murray no matter what he does they continue to sleep and I don't get it last year coming off a torn ACL with no Hollywood Brown for most of the season on a dysfunctional team Kyler scored more fantasy points per game than CJ Stroud Justin Herbert Patrick Mahomes Joe burrow jarro Goffin to attacks and still outscored everyone's favorite fantasy quarterback in CJ shroud who had n Collins for the entire season and still Kyler Murray was able to outscore him off an torn ACL with Michael Wilson as his wide receiver won and Kyler Murray just added Marvin Harrison Jr in fact CJ shroud's 18.7 points per game last year would be Kyler Murray's worst points per game season in the last four years why are we sleeping on Kyler Murray his situation has drastically improved if he scored 18.9 points per game last year and now he adds Marvin Harrison Jr what could this offense do what could Kyler Murray do all right A WR set to BounceBack (PPR Monster) another wide receiver you should go trade for I've noticed in drafts this is not a sexy name so he should be easily acquirable that is Chris Godwin guys last year was the first time in the last five years that Godwin averaged 60 receiving yards in seven targets per game but finished outside the top 15 in fantasy points per game so what happened did Godwin fall off no I'll tell you EX exactly what happened for the first time in The Last 5 Years the Bucks decided to play Chris Godwin as an as an outside wide receiver they played him outside 61.6% of the time which to be honest makes little to no sense to anyone ever because Godwin has been a dominant slot receiver his entire career why change it up all right uh and that led to his lowest catch percentage in his career at 63.8% here's the good news the Bucs made it extremely clear that they're going to put Chris goin back into the slot so I think we're going to see a bounceback year for Godwin and if you look at the targets last year he was right there with Mike Evans I think some positive aggression is on the way all right a The BEST RB Handcuff in Fantasy running back that I am drafting everywhere and you should trade for before week one Blake Korum McVey has a history of shuffling through running backs pretty often he hasn't had a running back with back-to-back a thousand yard rushing Seasons since 2017 2018 he also hasn't had a running back repeat as the teams leading rusher since 2019 every single year it's been a different name and you got to ask the question how much work if any will Blake corm take straight away with the report coming out McVey saying he's going to use Kyon Williams as a punt returner does that suggest to us that korm already has a bunch of trust with his coaching staff does that suggest to us that he already has a larger role than we anticipated if they're willing to put Kiren Williams In Harm's Way like that here's what concerns me about k Williams and why I like Blake Corin Ken Williams last year had 12 rushing touchdowns he only played 12 games he averaged one rushing touch touchdown per game that's great but here's the problem only one of his rushing touchdowns came outside the 10 yard line if look at it I I've literally done the research for you on average his rushing touchdowns come from inside the six yard line you got to ask the question what is Blake km's best attribute I believe after watching a lot of his film throughout the Entre ire offseason that he is the best goal line running back college football has seen in the past 5 years don't believe me well what if I told you in the past three years he has 56 rushing touchdowns and a lot of those coming at the goal line this is what concerns me Kor might have the goal line work quicker than people realize and if Kiron can't stay healthy then Blake becomes a League winner instantly and by the way kyn Williams has an 88 Point 88.7% chance of injury according to inur shark which is the fourth highest Mark in their database and he's projected to miss 3.4 games which is the highest amount they've given to any running back he's an undersized back if he does Miss time I'm not saying he will but if he does Miss time Blake K will win leagues because Shawn McVey has had a top two running back in points per game three out of his last seven years and has had a top 21 running back five out of his last seven years so go get some Blake Korum don't won't be late on the train Justin Herbert's WR1 last player I'm going to tell you to buy and I think this is the easiest buy before the Year Josh Palmer the Chargers have the most vacated Targets in the NFL this year meaning they have the most targets that are left behind by previous players think about it Keenan Allen Austin Eckler Gerald Everett Mike Williams those guys are leaving behind a ton of targets 395 total targets available that's 63% of their target share and 24 targets inside the 10 are available and these Chargers Palmer and makon in my opinion are the easiest guys to trade for right now because this offense is going to be better than people realize but last year Keenan Allen went down with an injury a lot of people thought Quinton Johnson would step up he did not who stepped up Josh Palmer in games without Keenan Allen last year Josh Palmer averaged 14 points per game if Josh Palmer averages 14 points per game he will be a top 24 wide receiver in fantasy football this year he's already got chemistry with Justin Herbert he cost you nothing to go trade for and Jim Harbaugh as an NFL head coach has never had a fantasy wide receiver finished below wide receiver 27 on the season in fact most years he's had a wide receiver finish top 20 I think makoni is a guy to own at the second half of the season but if we're trading right now to go win our games right now Palmer is the best flex you can go buy he's the cheapest Flex you can go buy what do you guys guys think let me know in the comments below do me a favor smash that like button subscribe if you like the content last thing I want
