Fantasy Football Player Notes

We all know the Bears are a pass-happy team and that Robinson is among the league leaders in targets, right? When you take that and add in his playoff schedule, Robinson should be a top-10 receiver for the fantasy playoffs. He'll go against the Texans, Vikings, and Jaguars in Weeks 14-16. None of those matchups scare you. Instead, they entice you.

If you're looking to trade for a running back, or add some depth before the trade deadline, making a move for Montgomery would make sense. He's not someone fantasy managers are excited to roster, as he just doesn't offer any upside. However, we constantly look at rankings and think, "I really don't love this player, but given the state of the running back position, he's ranked as a top-25 option." Montgomery's schedule from Week 13-16 is among the best in football, going against the Lions, Texans, Vikings, and Jaguars in that time. He can be a role player on a fantasy championship team.

It's hard to imagine Graham clawing his way back into being fantasy relevancy this year. Despite the lack of a second option behind Davante Adams, Graham barely made any noise last year for the Packers, finishing 22nd in 1/2 PPR points among tight ends. Now in what was a stagnant offense last year and with several other tight ends on the roster, it would be surprising if Graham found a way to factor in significantly. Ignore him in all leagues but deeper formats that award bonus points to tight ends.

Miller had a big first game but was entirely shut out in Week 2 against the Giants. But the real takeaway from his first two games is that he's played on just 40% of the snaps or so, making him as unreliable as can be for fantasy purposes. Unless and until Miller plays more, feel free to move on.
