Fantasy Impact: Jeudy left the game in the first half of Denver’s game against Houston after landing on his shoulder during an incomplete pass. He had one catch for 11 yards before departing. The extent of the injury will not be known until further evaluation takes place following the game.

Waiver Wire Replacements to Target

Garrett Wilson (NYJ): 45% rostered

• Next opponents: CIN, @PIT, MIA
• True value: $20
• Desperate need: $27
• Budget-minded: $15

Analysis: Wilson blew the doors off Week 2. He led the Jets with a massive 31.8% target share with a robust 14 targets, eight receptions, 102 receiving yards and two scores. With Braxton Berrios banged up, the team finally wised up and utilized Wilson more. He saw his route participation climb from 57.6% to 84% this past week. The upcoming schedule isn’t amazing, but if Wilson garners this type of volume, it doesn’t matter. Wilson could be who we all hoped Elijah Moore would be in 2022.

Jakobi Meyers (NE): 50% rostered

• Next opponents: BAL, GB, DET
• True value: $10
• Desperate need: $17
• Budget-minded: $4

Analysis: There is no reason a wide receiver with a 29.2% target share after two games should be on the waiver wire. This is a crime. That’s what nearly 50% of fantasy gamers have committed: a crime. The Patriots’ stink is real. I get it, but 9.5 targets per game. You’re going to let that languish on a waiver wire? Make it make sense.

Jahan Dotson (WAS): 23% rostered

• Next opponents: PHI, @DAL, TEN
• True value: $8
• Desperate need: $13
• Budget-minded: $3

Analysis: Dotson led the Commanders in WR snaps, and routes run in Week 2. He’s been incredibly efficient with his volume through two games. Dotson has only seen five targets in each game, but he’s averaged 3.5 receptions, 49.5 receiving yards, and 1.5 receiving touchdowns. This is a slippery slope of production, as the three receptions for 38 scoreless yards type of box score is coming. That’s the downside scenario for Dotson. The rosier outlook is that this type of production is a sign of talent, and talent earns more targets as the season progresses. I lean on the latter, as Dotson was a stout prospect and entered the NFL with draft capital commensurate with his talent level.

Treylon Burks (TEN): 51% rostered

• Next opponents: LV, @IND, @WAS
• True value: $8
• Desperate need: $13
• Budget-minded: $3

Analysis: By the time you read this, Burks may have already played for Week 2. Even before knowing the outcome of that game, Burks is a pickup. In Week 1, he only saw 36.4% route participation, but with his performance, that has to climb. He was targeted on 41.7% of his routes (fifth-highest) while ranking seventh in yards per route run. Pick him up.

Russell Gage (TB): 47% rostered

• Next opponents: GB, KC, ATL
• True value: $5
• Desperate need: $8
• Budget-minded: $2

Analysis: After a 63% route participation mark in Week 1, Gage saw it climb to 82.3% in Week 2. Mike Evans was knocked out of the game early after engaging in fisticuffs. The Bucs were left with Breshad Perriman, Scotty Miller and Jaelon Darden to catch passes from Tom Brady. Gage was less than stellar, with a 17.6% target share, five receptions and a measly 28 yards. With the entire roster banged up, he could easily be the best player left standing if Evans misses any time from injury (or fallout from the UFC experience), or if Julio Jones and Chris Godwin remain injured for multiple weeks.

Greg Dortch (ARI): 2% rostered

• Next opponents: LAR, @CAR, PHI
• True value: $4
• Desperate need: $7
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: With no return date in sight for Rondale Moore, Dortch has been a fun player to watch blossom. He’s seen a 15.6% target share, averaging 6.5 targets, 5.5 receptions and 59 receiving yards with one touchdown. Dortch has the best corner matchup inside for his team in each of the next three games, so he could easily be peppered weekly by Kyler Murray. Continue the feel-good story, Dortch.

Noah Brown (DAL): 1% rostered

• Next opponents: @NYG, WAS, @LAR
• True value: $3
• Desperate need: $6
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: The name isn’t sexy, but the production is. Brown has seen a 19.1% target share through two games with seven receptions and 79.5 receiving yards per game. With his stranglehold on snaps in Dallas and three juicy matchups upcoming, Brown is a decent flex option.

Joshua Palmer (LAC): 34% rostered

• Next opponents: JAC, @HOU, @CLE
• True value: $3
• Desperate need: $6
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Palmer woke up from his one-game hibernation. He saw a 16.6% target share in Week 2, rolling up 30 receiving yards and a touchdown dance. Operating as the weekly third(ish) option in one of the best offenses in football, he is rosterable, especially for as long as Keenan Allen remains on the shelf.

Robbie Anderson (CAR): 46% rostered

• Next opponents:NO, ARI, SF
• True value: $2
• Desperate need: $5
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Anderson saw a 32% target share in Week 1 that would never be sustainable, but his 17.5% target share in Week 2 is still valuable for fantasy. The Saints’ secondary has been up and down so far while dealing with injuries, and the Cardinals are a dumpster fire. While it might seem gross, this WR5 type might return WR3 production in each of the next two weeks.
