Keelan Cole Sr. Week 7 Outlook - Buccaneers at Raiders

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Wed, Oct 21st 2020, 11:07am EDT

We talk a lot about Chark and Shenault, but what about Cole? Did you know he leads this team in targets through six weeks? He's been the only consistent option in this receiver corps, totaling at least five targets while hauling in 43 yards and/or a touchdown in every game. Unfortunately, the Chargers have Desmond King in the slot, who's done a great job covering slot receivers over the years. He has allowed a sky-high 77.7 percent catch-rate in his coverage, but those receptions have only gone for 9.2 yards a pop with a touchdown every 30.1 targets. So, in other words, he's allowed the receptions to pile up but he'll keep the play in front of him. There have been just four top-36 wide receiver performances against the Chargers this year, and Tyreek Hill was the only slot-heavy receiver to get there. Cole should be considered a sturdy WR4 for the remainder of the season, but he's a relatively weak WR4 option this week.
