Fantasy Football Sells? DeAngelo Williams, Jimmy Graham, Jay Ajayi

Jimmy Graham (TE, SEA)

Seattle's unwillingness to make Jimmy Graham a focal point of its struggling offense is mind-boggling, but it remains to be the case. Over the last four weeks, Graham has averaged the 20th-most fantasy points among tight ends with at least 10 targets over that span.

He is projected to earn the third-most points among tight ends over the remaining weeks, but it's hard to imagine that coming to fruition at this point. Even if it does, that will likely come as a result of one monster performance, with the rest of the weeks seeing Graham disappear again. Ladarius Green, Crockett Gilmore, Charles Clay, Eric Ebron and Jacob Tamme have all put up equivalent numbers and are owned in fewer than 40% of leagues.

Use Graham as a trade chip to upgrade at another position, and add one of those guys off the wire. I'm willing to bet that some owner would still love to have Graham, even if only for his name.

 

DeAngelo Williams (RB, PIT)

Williams' poor Week 10 showing shouldn't hurt his trade value, as he is still viewed as a top fantasy play going forward. However, he faces a string of tough run defenses in Seattle, Cincinnati and Denver -- the latter two coming in the fantasy football playoffs.

With Ben Roethlisberger healthy, the Steelers will continue to be a pass-heavy offense, considering the talent on the outside with Antonio Brown and Martavis Bryant. Williams has a nice opportunity with Le'Veon Bell out for the year, but that doesn't make him a great back. He spent his first nine seasons in Carolina, spending most of his time there splitting the touches with Jonathan Stewart. Entering this year, Williams only recorded three 100-yard games since the start of the 2010 season (59 games).

Thus, you can expect Williams' best performances of 2015 to be behind him. If there is an owner who still views the Steelers' number one back as a RB1, get back as much as possible for him right away.

 

Jay Ajayi (RB, MIA)

Despite failing to gain 50 rushing yards in any of the past three weeks, Lamar Miller is still the man in Miami. He has scored a touchdown in each of the last five games, and is making up for his struggles on the ground by racking up points in the passing game, with the most receiving yards (227) by any running back over the last four weeks.

Meanwhile, Ajayi is garnering all this attention despite having totaled just 11 touches 10 weeks into his rookie campaign. He has impressed on those carries, collecting 89 yards -- 8.1 yards per carry -- but it's not enough to even spark a running back by committee in Miami.

Ajayi is undoubtedly talented, but he remains a backup. Miller owners might be eager to acquire Ajayi as a handcuff, so see if they would be willing to part with anything in exchange for him.
