Even in PPR formats, their trade value is high because many RBs have faced injuries in 2023.

David Montgomery

[{"selector":"#anim-bac050e3-bd84-4571-b091-37074acc5b0f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-df25b59c-2d51-4420-af9d-41f14ab03e9e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-105.09383%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ec8771bd-12e5-4dd4-88c3-704e91160935","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-40de0208-fd8f-44cc-ae62-b8c67b8a8c52","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-105.09383%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Despite a week 3 absence due to a thigh injury, Montgomery of the Lions is a prime fantasy football trade option. He's averaging 19 touches/game & is seeing 100% of the goal-line work.

[{"selector":"#anim-e591cdf3-955c-4297-86f8-1c91b1cdeb6d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4c48b147-29ac-4ba9-b9d4-a207200a372a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-105.09383%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Acquiring Montgomery at a lower price is wise, given his role in the high-performing offense led by Jared Goff.

Rachaad White

[{"selector":"#anim-556ad6c2-eaae-455d-8268-39239e08afcf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-18ec3285-f1cb-4b8f-8974-d301d983169a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-105.09383%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cc4cb1ff-2677-46db-98af-1cfe73c261f1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-95fcb35b-b12b-43cd-b9cf-f41b882d4e60","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-105.09383%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] White has thrived as the primary starter in 2023. With no competition in the Bucs' backfield, he's getting plenty of chances. This season, he boasts a 91% snap share & 93% route participation.

[{"selector":"#anim-88bd9302-02de-4007-bdc4-2b5a39a038a1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d7cd7d16-d24b-4d76-8de5-6ec3384de3f7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-105.09383%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] With an average of over 17+ touches per game, White, currently at RB20, is a smart trade target before he climbs higher in the rankings.

Alvin Kamara

[{"selector":"#anim-51788570-6e69-4e7c-8ce8-42888d3181d7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3b694789-acda-478a-9fd9-bbab2c631e6b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-105.09383%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b117c064-79c0-4a7f-9326-04a65f3f441d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ae827892-f6bb-48c9-8231-d4dfb3ddbd24","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-105.09383%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Kamara's suspension ends in week 4, making him a valuable fantasy football trade option. He's ranked RB13 or higher in fantasy points per game and returns well-rested.

[{"selector":"#anim-de295ad9-4c48-4c3d-8264-8216353d2587","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4dc5dfaf-a080-4121-8151-9054c66367c5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-105.09383%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] The Pro Bowl RB encounters minimal competition in the backfield. Jamaal Williams is on injured reserve, leaving only Tony Jones & Kendre Miller as his companions.
