Even with just two games on the books, we’re starting to see some obvious trends with certain players. When it’s targets, touches, or injury concerns, the whole picture is important, not just the final statline. That’s where you can really find value, as some owners will simply like at the yards and touchdowns and either give up too quickly on a high-quality player or covet a mediocre player who’s simply had a hot start. Either way, you can take advantage if you’re willing to be aggressive and take a few chances.

As we always caution, values can change quickly in fantasy football, so don’t get too locked in on a certain trade target. Change your thinking as the trends change, but don’t be afraid to strike if you have a good offer on the table. – Matt Lutovsky

A.J. Green (WR – CIN)
There are some pros and cons to Green moving forward. The pros are that he’s seen a team-high 22 targets through two weeks and Joe Burrow looks like he’s going to be a good one. The cons are that Green has turned those 22 targets into just 80 scoreless yards and hasn’t looked like the player he once was. His 3.6 yards per target is the 31st-worst mark of all-time from wide receivers who’ve seen 20-plus targets. It seems every time he gets up off the ground, it’s a struggle. He might be working back into game shape after having 2019 off, which must be the hope. If you can find a fantasy owner willing to sell on the cheap, the vital signs are pretty good. He can likely be bought for WR4-type prices at this point.
