Players to Buy
4 down weeks for Bijan Robinson. If you can somehow buy low…do it.
CeeDee Lamb once again commanded elite usage, drawing a 31% target share and 42% of the team’s air yards, but failed to find the end zone despite multiple end-zone targets and 117 incomplete air yards. He finished with 7 catches for 85 yards on 12 targets and remains a prime buy-low candidate given his consistent volume and elite route involvement.
Lamb is averaging a 28% target share since returning from injury in Week 7. If you can trade for him coming off his bye week…Full send.
Last five games, when healthy, London has averaged 11.6 targets, 7.4 receptions, and 106 receiving yards per game. He has a solid playoff schedule as well (TB, ARI, LAR).
Rookie running back Quinshon Judkins rushed for 75 yards on 22 carries and caught 2 passes for 10 yards in his Week 10 loss against the Jets. He forced eight missed tackles, the most in a game in his career, and gained 22 yards after missed tackles. Judkins has now totaled 28 missed tackles forced on rushing this season, tied for the 2nd-most among rookie running backs (along with Cam Skattebo) entering Sunday afternoon (Next Gen Stats).
He handled over 80% of the RB touches, reaffirming his role as the Browns’ clear bell cow.
If someone is asleep at the wheel…buy Judkins. The Browns have top-3 schedule ROS for RBs.
In Week 17 Trey McBride faces the Bengals. You might not win your fantasy football league this year if you don’t have McBride on your roster.
Tua Tagovailoa completed 15 of 21 passes for 173 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions, good for an 88.1 passer rating. He’s been inconsistent this season, but the schedule is great for a strong finish.
Jaylen Waddle matched up against Bills rookie CB Maxwell Hairston on 13 of his 18 routes, hauling in 3 receptions for 69 yards and a touchdown against the rookie. Hairston, who made his debut last week against the Chiefs, forced two tight-window targets including an interception on what was virtually an arm punt on 3rd-and-long midway through the fourth quarter. Waddle accounted for 80.0% of the Dolphins’ team air yards on the day and 33% of the targets. Since Week 5 (without Tyreek Hill), Waddle is 1 of 3 receivers to account for over half of their team’s air yards (Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are the others) – according to Next Gen Stats.
Waddle has stepped up as Miami’s top receiving weapon, catching 5 of 7 targets for 84 yards and a touchdown.
Waddle has now topped 82 yards in five of his six games this season without Hill, averaging over seven targets and 79 yards per contest when Hill plays fewer than 50% of snaps or misses entirely (10-game sample size). He’s cemented himself as an auto-start WR1 with Hill out.
Another W for Miami bodes well for Mike McDaniel’s future as the Dolphins HC for the rest of 2025.
The Dolphins’ final eight games feature four at home (one internationally — an ideal setup for fantasy production. With Achane commanding elite usage and Waddle thriving as the WR1 in Hill’s absence, this offense remains a sharp buying opportunity for savvy managers looking ahead to the fantasy playoffs.
The Steelers offense lacked vertical bite and cohesion, with most of Aaron Rodgers‘ completions coming near the line of scrimmage. His connection with DK Metcalf remains volatile — the two missed on multiple potential big plays, including a deep ball that traveled 74 incomplete air yards and a fourth-down end-zone fade that fell incomplete.
It’s easy to be frustrated with DK Metcalf‘s box scores lately, but the underlying metrics still scream buy-low. He commanded a 22% target share (seven targets) and was the focal point of Rodgers’ few downfield attempts — including a would-be long touchdown that just missed and another end-zone fade on fourth down. This was after a Week 9 game where he saw multiple red-zone targets but failed to score.
Through Weeks 15-17 (Fantasy Playoffs): Dolphins, Lions, Browns — the No. 2 WR schedule per FantasyPros’ SOS tool. Just a great schedule overall for fantasy WRs.
Metcalf’s peripherals suggest he’s still a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside once Rodgers connects on a few of these missed shots and targets in the end zone.
Rookie wideout Tetairoa McMillan continues to look like the offensive focal point, earning a team-high 32% target share. He caught 5 of 8 targets for 60 yards, working effectively in all areas.
McMillan’s route dominance and steady volume give him one of the safest weekly floors on the team, even if Carolina’s offensive limitations are suppressing his ceiling.
The rookie WR is 13th in XPPG this season. Also, the Panthers have a top-10 schedule ROS for WRs.
Jaylen Warren (RB18 in Expected Points Per Game) remains the most efficient of the group of Steelers RBs (14 carries for 70 yards) and is due for positive touchdown regression — he’s scored just two rushing TDs all year despite consistent red-zone involvement.
The schedule gets easy again (with some plus spots in the fantasy playoffs). Next four games, it’s the No. 1 schedule for RBs. Admittedly, the playoffs aren’t nearly as good, so Warren is a better win-now target than a postseason target in my opinion.
He only has two rushing TDs this season. The Bengals up next could change that.
If Ricky Pearsall starts practicing (ever), it’s possible he could return as a strong season finisher. Slick Rick was PFF’s 21st-highest graded WR in four games played. And he has a chance to practice/play this week.
Must-add/trade for dirt-cheap.
Rashid Shaheed ran a route on 62% of the dropbacks in his season debut with the Seahawks. 3 touches for 26 total yards (2 carries, 1 catch). Decent usage considering game script. In a back-and-forth game versus the Rams (who Shaheed just played and commanded a 36% target share catching 5 of 9 targets for 68 yards agaisnt just two weeks ago), I love targeting Shaheed after a meh debut. Not his fault. Coaches already talking up getting him more pass opportunites.
Jauan Jennings had solid usage. 23% target share, 35% air yards share with an end-zone target.
In the last four games, Jennings is the WR target leader for the 49ers. He has a real connection with Purdy, and every passing is seemingly improving his health. He’s “due” to produce, ranking 7th in xPPG, scored under expectation.
He’s been solid the last two weeks, scoring in both contests. Also finished 6-71-1 versus the Rams.
DJ Moore was held without a catch before exiting with an injury. Moore’s absence opened the door for Luther Burden, who logged season highs in snaps and routes.
Olamide Zaccheaus struggled with multiple drops, making Burden’s increased role likely to stick even when Moore returns. Moore’s injury status should be monitored closely — Burden is a priority add if Moore misses extended time. He is going to see more targets. Add him aggressively.
Kyle Pitts’s stat line (2 catches for 38 yards on 5 targets) doesn’t tell the whole story. He dropped a potential long touchdown, his most glaring mistake of the day, though his 18% target share was solid and consistent with recent usage (season-high with a 27% air yards share at 16.5 air yards/target). Still very involved (high % of snaps/routes)….and he’s been better than Darnell Mooney. He had another shot on a deep pass from Penix but the two failed to connect.
The ROS schedule is favorable for Pitts, ranking favorably in the next four games. If you are hurting at tight end…Pitts might be a sneaky trade-for target.
The Falcons’ TE has 3-plus receptions in all but one game this season (last week).
Minnesota has a solid stretch of matchups as the fantasy playoffs come into play for the Vikings.
Top-10 schedule rest of season for WRs and for QBs. No. 1 schedule for QBs ROS. Add JJ McCarthy.
In two of his four games played this season, the Vikings’ second-year QB has been a top-13 QB, averaging north of 20 PPG. He is also adding value as a rusher (two rushing TDs and 48 rushing yards last week).
Aaron Jones continued to operate as the offensive centerpiece, playing 72% of snaps and posting 9 carries for 47 yards and a touchdown, while catching 3 of 6 targets for 22 yards.
Jones has been a top-20 fantasy RB in all three of the games he has stayed healthy that McCarthy has started this season.
Trade for him.
The hope is that with McCarthy righting the ship offensively game after game, the Vikings RBs can take advantage of matchups versus the Ravens, Giants, Bears, and Cowboys – while being easy bench candidates in tougher spots.
Also makes sense for the Vikings to lean more on the run game and put less pressure on their struggling young QB. Also possible they get back center Ryan Kelly soon.
A better playoff buy than one for right now, given @ GB and @ SEA from Weeks 12-13.
