Scouting report

IND RB Trey Sermon - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Atlanta Falcons

After Zack Moss was injured last week, Trey Sermon led the team in snaps, but shared touches with Tyler Goodson, ending up with 17 carries for 88 yards. Sermon has looked solid in this offense in limited opportunities, and if he starts this week against the Falcons, he has upside. However, watch the injury report carefully, as there are rumors of a return for Jonathan Taylor. If Taylor sits, consider Sermon an intriguing RB3 or flex option.

IND RB Trey Sermon - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Los Angeles Rams

Trey Sermon was a late addition to the roster last week and ended up with 21 yards from scrimmage on five carries and a reception in a backup role to starter Zack Moss. Sermon has a legit chance to stick around as a backup to Moss, but the return of Jonathan Taylor still looms over this backfield after this week. Sermon is a deep-league roster stash at best right now, with Moss getting so much more work.

SF RB Trey Sermon - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Trey Sermon has been relegated to backup duty behind a healthy Elijah Mitchell, so fantasy managers should leave him on the bench with Mitchell expected to be active against the Colts this week. If Mitchell is a late scratch, Sermon has RB2 potential, but if Mitchell is active – as expected – that completely negates Sermon’s value. Sit him.

SF RB Trey Sermon - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Arizona Cardinals

Trey Sermon had a decent enough day last week against the Seahawks, rushing for 89 yards on 19 carries. He’s done just enough to show he can be a capable starter, but not enough to unequivocally take the job away from Elijah Mitchell. If Mitchell plays, take a wait-and-see approach this week to see how the carries shake out.

If Mitchell is out again, Sermon has low-end RB2 upside against a tough Cardinals defense that ranks 11th in aFPA to opposing running backs. Watch the injury report carefully, and consider starting Sermon only if Mitchell is out.

SF RB Trey Sermon - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Seattle Seahawks

Trey Sermon go the start against the Packers on Sunday night with everyone else hurt, and he had mixed results. He had a couple of nice runs and scored a touchdown, but he ultimately averaged just 3.1 yards on 10 carries and was able to gain only three additional yards on a pair of receptions. He also had a pretty bad drop.

If Sermon starts again, he has RB2 upside against the Seahawks, who have really struggled defensively so far this season. They rank dead last in aFPA to opposing running backs, and gave up over 100 yards to Alexander Mattison last week after Derrick Henry abused them in Week 2. Watch the injury report carefully, however, as Elijah Mitchell will still likely be the guy if he can get healthy. Sermon has upside, but be ready with a backup play in case Mitchell is active.

SF RB Trey Sermon - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Green Bay Packers

Trey Sermon had only one touch before getting a concussion, but it sounds like he's cleared protocol and may be in line to start this week. Fantasy managers should be wary, but if Elijah Mitchell misses the game - he's doubtful - and Sermon is active, he should be considered a borderline RB2 option. Most managers would prefer to skip this backfield entirely, and that's completely understandable. But if Sermon is the last man standing, there could be some points to be had. At least pick him up if you have roster space, just in case he blows up and takes the job.

SF RB Trey Sermon - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Detroit Lions

Trey Sermon looked pretty good in the preseason and seems to be the number two back behind Raheem Mostert – or perhaps even the 1B to Mostert’s 1A. Sermon is hard to trust out of the gate since we don’t really know what the usage is going to be, but Head Coach Kyle Shanahan has had success deploying a 2RB attack in the past, with Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman both being fantasy relevant at times in Atlanta.

Should Sermon see some action, he has upside against the league’s worst defense in aFPA to opposing running backs a year ago. The Lions don’t look like they’ll be remarkably better this year, so Sermon could thrive if he gets action. Still, with Mostert active, it’s hard to bank on Sermon’s touches, making him a risky bet for production. Consider him a flex option at best, but a very interesting long-term asset for your fantasy roster.
