We just got a bunch of information for week one, and now it's time for you to act on it.

0:04.2

I'm talking about players who quietly performed well, but your leaguemates probably didn't

0:08.5

notice, and you want to target these guys in trades. So here are 12 guys you should try and trade

0:12.8

for before week two. And we could begin with Jemir Gibbs, the Lions rookie running back. Look,

0:17.1

he frustrated owners in week one because he wasn't used a lot. Gibbs only had nine

0:20.8

touches in this game. He played just 27% of the snap. So it makes a lot of sense for your fantasy

0:25.5

manager that owns him to be frustrated. This is completely understandable, but it's giving you an

0:29.6

opportunity to buy low because on his touches, he was fantastic. These are the PFF grades for how all the

0:34.6

running backs in the NFL performed week one and and Jameer Gibbs ranked seventh, right next to Christian McCaffrey, ahead of Austin Echler and guys like Nick Chubb in his NFL debut.

0:43.2

His 6.7 yards per touch would have led the NFL in 2022. And his own head coach after the game, look what he said about the low snap count for Jemier Gibbs. You just wanted to get him a glimpse of the game. Moving forward, he'll be seeing more is basically what this quote here sums up. So that's good news. This is why you want to buy him. I mean, just check out

0:57.7

some of these stats that I was pulling throughout the week. And I found this Jemir Gibbs one on Twitter.

1:01.4

Jemir Gibbs leads all running backs and miss tackles force with six for week one. That's how dynamic this dude is. Now, as we said all offseason, David Montgomery, the bigger back by 20 plus pounds, will probably see the red zone usage and a lot of the early

1:14.8

down work. But Gibbs' upside comes from his explosiveness and receiving ability. He only needs

1:18.7

like 30% of the carries, like Camara and CMC, their rookie years to finish in the top 10.

1:22.7

Now next up, we go to a veteran wide receiver, and I know this guy is over 30 years old and I know he's frustrated owners basically since his big year in 2019 but Michael Thomas actually had a really really

1:31.3

encouraging week one. First off, the performance itself was pretty good. He was a top 20 graded

1:35.3

wide receiver. He actually had eight targets over 11 fantasy points and believe it or not. Thomas

1:39.5

was 12th in wide receiver usage week one. The fellow led the Saints wide receivers in snaps tied with

1:44.5

Alave. He had the most routes run on the team and he led the team in deep targets. That's 20 plus

1:48.8

yards with three of those. And by all accounts, as you can see here, he already has chemistry

1:52.3

with Derrick-R and he's making great plays. This is not something that a quote-unquote washed receiver

1:56.4

is doing on the sideline. And that new quarterback Derrick Carr actually looks solid week one. He's sustained three solid wide receiver performances. And he himself had a good game channeling his
