Both losses were embarrassing for different reasons, but Ben Johnson\u2019s start in the windy city has been disappointing to say the least.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">[Highlight] De\u2019Andre Swift with the grown man power run as he bulls his way through for the first down <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ndBIN7bl4L\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/ndBIN7bl4L<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 StreamFab (@StreamFab_X) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StreamFab_X\/status\/1965242633993027664?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\">September 9, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That being said, it was always going to take some time for the offense to adapt to its new head coach, and the Bears should improve as the year progresses. D\u2019Andre Swift wasn\u2019t a popular fantasy pick ahead of the season, and his 116 total rushing yards over his first two games won\u2019t have changed managers\u2019 minds.<\/p>\n<p>Chicago shouldn\u2019t get blown out like they did in Week 2 too often, though, and friendlier game scripts will lead to more rushing opportunities. Swift is the clear lead back on an offense that should improve massively in the coming months.<\/p>\n<h2>Football TreVeyon Henderson, New England Patriots<\/h2>\n<p>Contrary to the typical arc of a second-round rookie\u2019s workload, TreVeyon Henderson\u2019s carries dropped in Week 2. Despite averaging 5.4 yards per carry in Week 1, Henderson\u2019s opportunities dropped from five carries and six targets to three carries and two targets in Week 2.<\/p>\n<p>That may well have led to two lost weeks for fantasy managers who selected the New England Patriots rookie as an RB2 in drafts before the season. Meanwhile, Rhamondre Stevenson carried 11 times for 54 yards and caught all five of his targets for a further 88 yards against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Henderson is the most talented back on the Patriots by far, and with some friendly matchups on the horizon, he should be able to make his mark. Once the rookie earns the starting role, he should be a weekly high-end RB2 with RB1 upside.<\/p>\n<p><span>\u00a0<\/span><b>READ MORE: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballnetwork.com\/fantasy-football\/nfl-buy-low-sell-high-trade-targets-week-3\/\"><b>Fantasy Football Buy Low, Sell High In Week 3: Trade Targets Include Sam Darnold, D\u2019Andre Swift, and Travis Hunter<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Those who drafted Henderson won\u2019t necessarily be looking for a way out, but they\u2019ll be concerned enough to consider reasonable offers.<\/p>\n<h2>Football Trade Targets to Sell: Rhamondre Stevenson, New England Patriots<\/h2>\n<p>Having promoted Henderson as a buy-low, pushing managers to sell-high on Stevenson was inevitable. Henderson\u2019s rushing efficiency has dropped every year he\u2019s been in the league, and it won\u2019t be long before his rookie teammate overtakes him.<\/p>\n<p>With two games remaining in Week 2, Stevenson sits sixth among all running backs on the week, likely the highest he\u2019ll finish all season. You certainly won\u2019t get RB6-overall value for Stevenson in a trade, but plenty of managers will be looking for running back help after two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Stevenson has the veteran status and recent production to attract interest in leagues. And, given that he was drafted as an RB4 in fantasy this year, he should be an expendable asset on your roster.<\/p>\n<h2>Football Travis Etienne, Jacksonville Jaguars<\/h2>\n<p>Liam Coen transformed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers\u2019 run game in 2024, and immediately looks to be doing the same in Jacksonville. After exploding for 156 total yards in Week 1, Travis Etienne had 89 total yards and a touchdown in Week 2.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Travis Etienne had a good 1 week run.<\/p>\n<p>Bhayshul Tuten is here now though <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/o0ILaSbLyX\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/o0ILaSbLyX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Liam Murphy (@ChessLiam) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChessLiam\/status\/1967285188918202510?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\">September 14, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, there are two reasons for trying to move on from the Jaguars runner this week, starting with his teammate, Bhayshul Tuten. Tuten\u2019s carries almost tripled in Week 2, from three to eight, while his 5.25 yards per carry bettered Etienne\u2019s. He also caught both of his targets for 32 yards and a score, having not been targeted at all in Week 1.<\/p>\n<p>Not only does Etienne have an emerging rookie to hold off, but in the Cincinnati Bengals and the Carolina Panthers, he\u2019s faced two of the friendliest defenses he\u2019ll face all year. Two great weeks should be enough for many to believe in the former RB3 overall (2023), so get maximum value while you still can.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballnetwork.com\/fantasy-football\/nfl-trade-rb-week-3-2025\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a> Jason Katz<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first few weeks of fantasy football season create unique trading opportunities as initial performances often don\u2019t reflect a player\u2019s true season-long value.
