Corey Davis Week 8 Outlook -

Targeting your best receiver? Who would think of such a thing? Despite throwing the ball just 29 times, Tannehill managed to target Davis a season-high seven times where he caught six of them for 80 yards and a touchdown. It was his second top-10 performance of the year and now he gets to play a Bucs defense that has allowed 44.1 PPR points per game to wide receivers, which is the second-most in the league. They have faced 23.8 targets per game against them, so it's natural to expect them to allow some production, but allowing 12 receivers to reach 10.9 or more PPR points through six games? There have been eight wide receivers who've been targeted more than six times, and every one of them scored at least 13.1 PPR points, with four of them scoring 23-plus points and finishing as top-six wide receivers. Knowing the Bucs have stymied opponents on the ground (2.72 yards per carry), the Titans will be forced to lean on the pass. Knowing that Davis saw 27 percent of the team's air yards from Tannehill, he should be safe bet for WR3 production this week with upside among the top-12.
