It’s time for rookie running backs to take over. It took a while, but this class of young backs is finally beginning to win over a bigger share of the backfield. Josh Jacobs has long been the top dog with the Oakland Raiders. But David Montgomery is taking over in Chicago and Devin Singletary is getting more touches in Buffalo. Miles Sanders is making a big play practically every time he gets the ball. These rookie backs are among your targets in trades for Week 10.

As for who you might sell, it’s good to avoid losing teams with a tough strength of schedule — that’s a double dose of awful.

Buy

David Montgomery, RB, Bears

He is coming off two strong weeks with 27 carries, 135 yards and one touchdown in Week 8 and 14 carries for 40 yards and two touchdowns in Week 9. But it’s not time to sell. Grab this guy to strengthen your playoff push. Montgomery proved he can handle red zone duties, and is a big scorer, even with Tarik Cohen in the mix.

Le’Veon Bell, RB, Jets

Bell is looking at an extremely easy schedule, according to Fantasy Pros. So while coach Adam Gase is putting together a staggeringly bad season for New York, he could be fired. Perhaps the next coach in line can get more out of the offense. It’s a little scary targeting a player on a team which won’t care about winning (and may try to not win). But Bell is a nice buy-low option, who should be a solid producer.

Jamison Crowder, WR, Jets

Another Jet!? That’s right. I love Crowder in PPR. He’s a vacuum when Sam Darnold is on the field. They work nicely together, and because he has scored just one touchdown, he’s likely leaving his current fantasy owner disappointed. But Crowder could sneak into the mix as a FLEX play, particularly if the Jets are throwing the ball often in garbage time.

Drew Brees, QB, Saints

If the owner has Brees, they probably have another capable quarterback. Brees is coming off a bye and, of course, his injury. But Brees is the guy you want if you’re quarterback needy. He showed in Week 8 (373 passing yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT) that he’s a top fantasy option. Perhaps you can coax Brees out of his current owner’s hands.

Devin Singletary, RB, Bills

Finally, the Bills are putting the ball in Singletary’s hands enough for him to be relevant. It seems like it was only a matter of time. I have a premonition that he turns into this year’s version of Nick Chubb, who was long deserving of the top job in Cleveland but had to wait his turn. Singletary is taking over in the Bills’ run-heavy offense. Get him on your team.

Sell

David Johnson, RB, Cardinals

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Kenyan Drake and Chase Edmonds should scare Johnson’s owners. You would think that when Johnson returns, he retakes his job. You would think. But Arizona traded for Drake for a reason. Edmonds — who was injured in Week 8 — has run well. It’s possible Johnson enters a timeshare. Get rid of him.

Courtland Sutton, WR, Broncos

I don’t doubt Sutton’s talent. But I am dubious of his offense and his quarterback. Brandon Allen and, perhaps, Drew Lock are going to have a hard time getting the ball to Sutton. He’s coming off a solid game (5 catches, 56 yards) with a highlight-reel touchdown. Make the most of it. Trade him.

D.J. Chark Jr., WR, Jaguars

First, confirm that Dede Westbrook is returning from his injury before you bail on Chark. But Nick Foles is going to make his return, and while there’s probably room for two receivers in the offense, the Jacksonville quarterback is likely to favor Westbrook, who was his go-to option earlier this season.
