Russell Gage Week 6 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 15th 2020, 8:36am EDT

It's been a disappointing couple weeks for Gage, who has now seen just 11 targets over the last three games, which included a lot of time without Julio Jones on the field. He's also watched his yardage decline every week: 114, 46, 26, 22, 16. The Vikings did some shifting around last week and moved rookie Jeff Gladney into the slot, so that's who we should expect Gage to see in coverage. Gladney has done a good job in the slot this year, much better than he's been on the perimeter. On 12 slot targets, he's allowed just six receptions for 93 yards, which included a lot of Tyler Lockett in coverage last week. Knowing that veterans Lockett, Adam Humphries, and Randall Cobb have struggled to do much against the Vikings, it's probably wise to fade Gage in this matchup. The ceiling is not worth the risk you're taking on a receiver who's slowly being faded in the offense.
