Allen Lazard Week 3 Outlook - Jets at Colts

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 24th 2020, 10:27am EDT

There were back-to-back plays in Week 2 where Aaron Rodgers likely lost some confidence in Lazard, as he threw the ball back-shoulder on what should have been a 28-yard touchdown, but Lazard turned around too late. The very next play, he dropped a pass over the middle. He has nine targets through two games, which isn't the end of the world, but it's also not the range we were hoping for. The Saints perimeter cornerback duo of Marshon Lattimore and Janoris Jenkins is among the best in the NFL, so it means a lot to know that Lazard is playing 63 percent of his snaps in the slot. That will match him up with Chauncey Gardner-Johnson most of the time. He's allowed 7-of-8 passing in his coverage for 46 yards through two weeks. It's not a matchup you actively target, but it's the best of the Packers bunch. Lazard should be on the WR4/5 radar for this game, especially if Adams is held out, as it would raise his target floor.
