| 0:00.0 | The trade deadline in your fantasy league is coming up and you want to get the following players off your team as soon as possible. |
| 0:05.5 | And we can start with the Andre Hopkins, who look, this was the second highest scoring player, not just wide receiver player this past week, only behind CD Lamb. |
| 0:13.0 | Hopkins put up about 35 fantasy points going over 100 yards and scored three different times in the rookie Will Levis's debut. |
| 0:19.5 | And now for the past month of the season we've |
| 0:21.4 | seen a few strong performances from him as he seems healthy because it kind of went under the radar |
| 0:25.8 | for the first month of the season and he was dealing with an injury but he came back in week five |
| 0:28.9 | got his full-time role at least getting ramped back up saw 34% of the targets had a big game we |
| 0:33.9 | just saw the big game in week eight and now now, over this three game stretch of being healthy, |
| 0:37.8 | he's earned 25% of the targets, according to our official data partner, FantasyLife.com. This is all |
| 0:42.4 | free, by the way. You could use it as well. And now on the season, Hopkins ranks. 13th and |
| 0:46.2 | wide receiver target share and 19th in efficiency. Look, I don't have to tell you that he's an elite talent and this season when he's been healthy he's been a solid fantasy option for you but |
| 0:54.5 | it's worth trying to sell him after this big game and all of the hype that the rookie will levis |
| 0:58.6 | is getting because odds are he'll come back down to earth after his historic first game in the |
| 1:02.4 | NFL i don't think that on 29 passes he's going to continue to have over 25 fantasy points and |
| 1:07.2 | four touchdowns and it's worth mentioning that in week eight in this game, he only saw a 20% |
| 1:11.4 | target share from Will Levis, which is solid, but it's not elite. It's not going to typically |
| 1:15.4 | generate the production that he saw in this past game. He just happened to turn his six targets, |
| 1:19.4 | which is average volume, half of them went for touchdown. So I'm not going to trade Hopkins |
| 1:22.8 | unless I can get a good piece back. Maybe somebody like a Garrett Wilson or T. Higgins, who I have ranked higher in my rest of season rankings. Now let's discuss another veteran receiver and Tyler Lockett, |
| 1:31.1 | who bounced back in week eight with a solid 22-point performance. Lockett had his first big game |
| 1:36.1 | since week two against the Detroit lines, and in this one he went for 22 points on nine targets. |
| 1:40.2 | He basically led the team in receiving yards and fantasy production. But it's a difficult situation for Lockett in this offense because so far in his age 31 season, we've just been seeing |
