#5: WR - Christian Kirk (JAX)

Kirk’s value going into the year was based upon an assumption that he would be the number 1 target in the Jaguars’ offense. But, with the emergence of Brian Thomas Jr., that hasn’t been the case. Kirk’s overall target share is virtually identical to Thomas over the season, but Thomas has been taking over recently. On Sunday, he caught 5 of his 8 targets for 122 yards and a TD, while Kirk’s route participation dropped and he had just 4 catches. When Evan Engram returns to this offense, Kirk will be the one losing more looks. Offload him if possible.

#4: RB - Rhamondre Stevenson (NE)

The Patriots are a sinking ship, and Rhamondre is still clinging to fantasy value, thanks to his talent and reputation. But, those are tenuous at best these days. The team is giving steady work to Antonio Gibson, Rhamondre has fumbled 4 times already this season, and his good game against Miami might just be the result of facing an opponent giving up the 3rd-most fantasy points to RBs. With a tougher schedule upcoming, now might be the time to move him.

#3: RB - Travis Etienne (JAX)

It’s getting harder to ignore the passing of the torch in Jacksonville. Etienne received just 6 carries compared to Tank Bigsby’s 13. It’s been an alarming drop in usage as Bigsby works his way into the fold. Etienne doesn’t feel like a RB2 any longer, and should be traded for someone who has more upside as a second guy.

#2: WR - George Pickens (PIT)

Pickens might be the top dog in the Steelers’ offense, leading the team with 27.9% of the targets and a whopping 52.5% of the air yards (3rd in NFL). But, poor QB play is absolutely tanking his efficiency. Pickens is 48th in fantasy points per game, despite ranking 13th in expected fantasy points per game, which is an absolute chasm of a gap. Surely someone in your league believes he’ll turn it around when Russell Wilson returns. But, I’m not so positive about that one.
