Week 4 Garbage Grab

Trashman’s Garbage Grab: Week 4
Pickings are slim at RB this week, but if some key questionable players can’t suit up, then these picks will serve you well. Here’s this week’s grab…

Running Back
Peyton Barber, Raiders – 35% owned
Josh Jacobs is questionable to play, but if he can’t go, Barber would be a solid start against a Chargers team that’s given up the 11th most points to RBs in fantasy this season. In Jacob’s absence last week, Barber went over 100 yards and scored.

Kenneth Gainwell, Eagles – 29% owned
Gainwell didn’t see much action in Week 3, but he should get more involved against a Chiefs team that has been a sieve for RBs this season, averaging 160.3 yards allowed per game so far.

Kyle Juszczyk, 49ers – 2% owned
Juszczyk was effective for the 49ers against Green Bay, putting up 51 yards on 9 touches and scoring in Week 3. If Elijah Mitchell is not able to make it back this week, Juszczyk and Trey Sermon would have to carry the load again, this time against a Seattle team that is the best matchup for opposing RBs right now.

Wide Receiver
Jalen Reagor, Eagles – 22% owned
Reagor led the Eagles in targets(8) last week, and he’s averaging 7 a game through 3 weeks. He’ll face a KC team this week that has given up the 8th most points to WRs this season.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Titans – 9% owned
The loss of AJ Brown and potential loss of Julio Jones could push Westbrook-Ikhine back into the limelight this week, after he caught all 4 of his targets for 53 yards and a score. He could end up leading the Titans in receiving against a miserable Jets squad.

Terrace Marshall Jr., Panthers – 14% owned
Marshall is the no.3 WR on an ascending Panthers team that will need to do all it can to keep up with the Cowboys’ scoring machine this week. With Robby Anderson wilting this season, Marshall’s arrow is pointing up.

Tight End
Dalton Schultz, Cowboys – 31% owned
Schultz exploded on Monday night for 80 yards and 2 scores against the Eagles. It seems like a different 2 players go off for the Cowboys every game, but in a season where TE points are hard to come by, it makes sense to see if Schultz can keep up the momentum against a tough Carolina team.

Tyler Conklin, Vikings – 12% owned
Conklin stole some of KJ Osborn’s shine last week, catching 7 of 8 targets for 70 yards and a score, while Osborn got zilch. They may switch fates from game to game, but one thing is for sure and it’s that the Vikings’ 3rd receiving option is going to get run every game. Let’s just hope it’s Conklin if you’re streaming him.

Cameron Brate, Buccaneers – 1% owned
No Gronk this week, so Brate should see considerably more targets than the 5 he saw in Week 3. OJ Howard will be involved too, but it looks like Brate is the preferable play.

Quarterback
Teddy Bridgewater, Broncos – 26% owned
Teddy slumped last week against the Jets, but that’s mainly because the Broncos didn’t really need his services in a blowout. He’ll go back to his now high-flying ways against a Ravens team that is 30th in the league in defending the pass.

    Alex, Byron or Trashman –

    Per the awesome Tradecast I started targeting Fant and D. Harris from the other team below and on Twitter y’all suggested trading Cook + Fuller for Fant to which he countered with:

    Fant + Waddle for my McLaurin

    What would you counter with? He obviously needs a TE if he trades me Fant because Gronk is doubtful and at one point I know he was interested in my N. Harris and AB if you think I should counter for more?

    12 Team .5 PPR (1-2)
    [1] QB: Herbert
    [2] RB: N. Harris, Sanders (E. Mitchell, Bernard, Gainwell, JJ Taylor)
    [2] WR: Diggs, McLaurin (Ruggs, Fuller)
    [1] TE: Cook
    [2] W/R/T: Thielen, AB
    [2] IR: Higgins. Wilson
    Bench total: (6)

    Other team (2-1):

    [1] QB: Mahomes
    [2] RB: Kamara, D. Harris (M. Gordon, Singletary)
    [2] WR: Jefferson, Locket (Waddle, AJ Green)
    [1] TE: Fant (Gronk)
    [2] W/R/T: OBJ, Lockette
    [2] IR: Ertz
    Bench total: (6)

      No we are not giving up McLaurin in a liquidation trade for Fact and a low end WR, esp when you already own Fuller from the same team. If it was somebody different than Waddle and maybe you got Damien Harris in return AS WELL- then we might consider it.. But, no we aren’t giving up McLaurin in this deal.

    How do you rank Jamarr chase ROS? Is he top 10 in .5 ppr

    Was offered him for Antonio brown and Allen robinson

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Would probably keep Chase unless you are short at WR or flex. Even then, we’d want to see what happens w/ Fields this wknd before we even considered it.

      1. ↓ Post By John Hunsberger

        I would be getting chase . I’m an arob owner who is nervous after that last showing of fields
