Week 4 Fantasy Football Trade Targets

If your fantasy team is 0-3, it’s time to kick it into overdrive and get active. The waiver wire isn’t the only way to help your team fix its issues. You have to get a little savvy with your trade offers. Fantasy managers with better records will try to fleece you out of your best players because your team is sinking. Even if you have to flip a top-end player, get what you need to survive. And not a penny less. Take a long look at your roster and see what players aren’t working. Then see what players have enough value to trade for what you need. It’s not over yet, so get busy.

Trade Targets for Week 4 of Fantasy Football

Mark Andrews, TE – BAL

Mark Andrews just approached “UNC status” in the NFL (did I do that right?). But that doesn’t mean he’s slowing down. Andrews ranks inside the top 10 in targets among fantasy tight ends heading into Week 4. Though he isn’t averaging double-digit fantasy points yet 8.4 FPPG, Andrews is still one of Lamar Jackson’s favorite targets, not named Zay Flowers. With Andrews offensive role solidified, even a slow week, such as Week 3’s game (3 for 5 for 24 yards), isn’t enough to keep him down. Andrews is a lower-tier trade target with upside once the Ravens’ passing game gets going. 

Keenan Allen, WR – IND

Keenan Allen had a solid game in Week 4 against the Houston Texans. Against the Texans, Allen went 6 of 9 for 63 yards and a touchdown. He finished with 18.3 fantasy points. With Alec Pierce still on injured reserve, Allen has stepped up as one of Daniel Jones’s main pass catchers. Allen has even seen 20 targets over the first three games. Trading for Allen would be a wise move, as Pierce has no timetable to return as he rehabs a heel injury. So even if he comes off the injured reserve, there’s no telling when he’ll return to active duty. If the target volume continues to go his way, Allen may surprise fantasy managers with more good games even as a flex option. 

DJ Moore, WR – BUF

DJ Moore is currently dealing with a shoulder injury that knocked him out of Week 2’s game against the Detroit Lions. For the second straight week, Moore has practiced in a red, no-contact jersey before games. Despite still recovering from the shoulder injury, it hasn’t stopped Josh Allen from targeting Moore. In Week 3, Moore had six catches on 10 targets. Moore finished tied for 12th in targets among fantasy wide receivers. Josh Allen will continue to target DJ Moore as his main option in the Bills’ passing game. This is what makes Moore so valuable. If the shoulder injury has the manager concerned, make them a decent offer to get Moore on your roster. 

Malik Nabers, WR – NYG

After three weeks, it’s understandable to be frustrated with Malik Nabers. Nabers ranks as the WR58, averaging just 7.2 fantasy points per game. So why bother trading for a wide receiver who hasn’t done anything yet? That’s the key. “Yet”. Nabers still has a chance to produce even under Jameis Winston. Winston is known for slinging the football all over the place. That could mean more targets for Nabers down the line. More targets mean more opportunity. And with Nabers struggling right out of the gate, his fantasy value is at an all-time low. This is the perfect opportunity to nab a player cheap before one game changes that around. 

Chase Brown, RB – CIN

The Bengals running back started red hot in Week 1, finishing with 18 fantasy points. But his production has since declined. Brown has 11.2 and 8.9 fantasy-point games over the last two games. But it’s not time to hit the panic button on Chase Brown yet. Brown is one of the better dual-threat backs in the NFL, and his pass-catching ability is what trade partners want. Chase has 13 targets from weeks 1-3 and can get more targets in the future. Chase is averaging four yards per carry and has 197 rushing yards. There will be easier opponents on the schedule to put points on. And he has the backfield to himself. Make sure to come strong with your offers for Brown.

Alvin Kamara, RB – NO

With Travis Etienne landing on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, Kamara will be tasked with leading the Saints backfield. Kamara slots in as a low-grade running back in a high-volume offense under Kellen Moore and quarterback Tyler Shough. Kamara was splitting work with Travis Etienne and finished Week 2 with just 5.2 fantasy points. Now the targets and goal-line work falls to Kamara, a role he is more than familiar with. Kamara should be easier to trade for if you can put together a nice trade package. 

Tucker Kraft, TE – GB

Tucker Kraft is starting off slow but can benefit from getting more targets as the season continues. With Jayden Reed (neck) on injured reserve, Kraft should step up as a viable option for quarterback Jordan Love. Kraft has seen 17 targets over the last three games, seeing eight targets in Week 3. Kraft has shown before that he can be a strong fantasy option once he gets the catches. Last season, Kraft averaged nearly 15 fantasy points per game before tearing his ACL. Kraft also hasn’t scored a touchdown yet, so he’s long overdue to hit paydirt. Kraft is a big name, but his production this season should be the focus. Don’t let the Kraft manager try to talk you into overpaying too much for simply Kraft’s name.
