Jameson Williams and 4 Other High-Upside Fantasy Football Trade Deadline Targets
In this story:
We are creeping up on the Fantasy Football trade deadline and it is time to make money moves. The majority of owners are are neither clinched for the playoffs nor out of the playoff race. You still have time to improve your roster and point yourself towards the ultimate prize. To do this, we can target some high-upside trade candidates. These are five players that we have identified to have high-upside in the home stretch.
RJ Harvey, RB - Denver Broncos
It appears that JK Dobbins is going to be out for multiple weeks. The Broncos have yet to place him on the IR, but common though is that he will be out at least three weeks and potentially up to the remainder of the regular season. This boosts Harvey to a massive role.
Between Dobbins and Harvey, they are combining for 98 Yards per Game. This split has Dobbins with 77% and Harvey with 20% of those yards. We can expect that Harvey will now own the majority, which can be anywhere from 70-100 yards per game. For reference, only two running backs (Jonathan Taylor, James Cook) are putting up 80+ yards per game.
Aaron Jones, RB - Minnesota Vikings
#Vikings RB Aaron Jones since returning from IR the last 2 games:

Jones is finally back at full healthy from an injury that put him out since Week 2. Jones has played the last three games, but Week 10 was his full ramp up. He out-snapped Jordan Mason 71% -to- 25%. Perhaps this could be a sign of things to come.
Kevin O'Connell has made it clear that he values Jones heavily and that his role will be one of clarity. Last game may have been more lopsided that usual, but Jones is the RB1 in Minnesota.
Going forward, Jones will get easier defenses in spots, such as the Bears (Week 11), Commanders (Week 14), Cowboys (Week 15), and Giants (Week 16).
Marvin Harrison Jr, WR - Arizona Cardinals
Jacoby Brissett is the quarterback and for quite some time. It is very likely that Kyler Murray will be out for the season.
Brissett is averaging 280 Yards per Game as the starting quarterback. This is about 70 yards per game more than Murray. As for Harrison Jr., he has 62 Yards per Game and 2 Touchdowns over his last three games with Brissett.
We know that Harrison Jr. is one of the better wide receivers in the NFL when the ball flows his way. Brissett adds a pure pocket-passing element to this passing offense that has Harrison Jr. playing like a true Top-10 Wide Receiver in Fantasy Football.
Jameson Williams, WR - Detroit Lions
Among all @NFL WRs this season, @Lions WR Jameson Williams ranks:

- 3rd in receiving average (17.6)
- 3rd in YAC/reception (7.8)
- 5th in receiving 1st down % (85.2%)#OnePride pic.twitter.com/K6IengcOIg
Williams has lacked to meet massive upside, but I believe that it will come very soon. This will result from play-calling duties and a softer schedule.
Dan Campbell took over play-calling duties from John Morton and the Lions went to score 44 points in Week 10. They will accept nothing less than excellenece. It can be expected that this offense will be among the NFL's best, if not the best, over the remainder of the season.
The Lions face some softer units in the home stretch. This includes the Giants, Cowboys, and Steelers at bottom-10 units versus the Wide Receiver.
DK Metcalf, WR - Pittsburgh Steelers
Some people have begun to panic on Metcalf, but you absolutely should not. Metcalf has a target share of 22% and he lead the team with five receiving touchdowns.
The Steelers are not be worry about being run-heavy. They are 10th in pass rate (59%) and Metcalf is the centerpiece of that air attack. Metcalf has a multitude of favorable matchups coming up, including the Bengals, Bears, Ravens, Dolphins, and the Browns in the Championship, Week 17.
Metcalf is the WR22 but he certainly may perform as a Top-10 Wide Receiver down the stretch given his fantastic chemistry with Aaron Rodgers.
