Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 8 Rankings
|
1.
Derrick Henry
RB - TEN (at CIN)
Henry was able to produce in a tough matchup last week and he now gets to face off against the Bengals defense that is having problems slowing down anyone. Fire up Henry as a top-5 option this week.
|
|
2.
Alvin Kamara
RB - NO (at CHI)
Kamara's matchup proof. He can be started every single week as a top-3 option.
|
|
3.
Kareem Hunt
RB - CLE (vs . LV)
Hunt has a prime matchup this week against a Raiders defense that is currently allowing 25.4 fantasy points per game to the RB position. Hunt has No. 1 overall RB upside in this game.
|
|
4.
Jonathan Taylor
RB - IND (at DET)
Taylor should be plugged right back into your lineup as a solid RB1 in this matchup against the Lions defense that just gave up two touchdowns to Todd Gurley.
|
|
5.
Davante Adams
WR - GB (vs . MIN)
Adams is unstoppable with Rodgers throwing him the ball. The Texans refused to adjust their game plan last week to account for Adams and he absolutely torched them. While it's hard to say that Adams has another 200-yard performance in him this week, it's in the realm of possibilities against the Vikings corners. Adams should be viewed as a top-3 option at the WR position yet again.
|
|
6.
Dalvin Cook
RB - MIN (at GB)
Cook appears to be on track to play in this matchup, which is good news for the Vikings and fantasy managers alike. Cook should produce against the mediocre Packers run defense and can be viewed as a top-5 lock in week eight.
|
|
7.
Mike Davis
RB - CAR (vs . ATL)
Davis disappointed in week seven, but he's still seeing the clear majority of the touches in this backfield. Against the Falcons defense, Davis worth firing up as a low-end RB1 yet again.
|
|
8.
Josh Jacobs
RB - LV (at CLE)
Jacobs had a rough game last week. However, that was against a defense that is absolutely suffocating opposing RBs. Jacobs should get back to seeing his 15+ carries in this game against a Browns defense that is currently middle-of-the-pack in terms of fantasy points per game. Fire up Jacobs as a solid RB1 with upside in this matchup.
|
|
9.
Todd Gurley II
RB - ATL (at CAR)
Gurley was able to find the end zone twice last week - whoops - but put up pedestrian numbers on the ground otherwise. He simply doesn't have the athleticism anymore to beat defenders to the edge. It's probably best to temper your expectations for Gurley if it's a tough matchup, but this is not one of those times. Fire up Gurley as a locked-in RB1 yet again against the Panthers run defense.
|
|
10.
Ezekiel Elliott
RB - DAL (at PHI)
Zeke has been one of the most consistent fantasy options for a long time, but there's no way you can keep him up at the top of your rankings with the offensive situation surrounding him. He's a risky low-end RB1 play that you're hoping gets a ton of volume this week in a tough matchup.
|
|
11.
Tyreek Hill
WR - KC (vs . NYJ)
Hill was the clear target leader this past week against Denver. Hill saw a total of 10 targets and the next closest was CEH with four. This is a good sign moving forward for fantasy managers that were starting to have concerns over Hill and his usage. He's a locked-in WR1 every single week in this offense that could go off in this matchup against the Jets corners.
|
|
12.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire
RB - KC (vs . NYJ)
CEH saw the majority of the work on the ground last week, but it wasn't by much. Bell figures to be more of a part of this offense than fantasy managers anticipated and CEH takes a hit because of it. CEH can be viewed as a mid-range RB2 this week that will need to score to crack the top-12.
|
|
13.
D.K. Metcalf
WR - SEA (vs . SF)
Metcalf took a back seat to Lockett's nuclear performance in week seven, but he should be plugged right back in as a low-end WR1 with upside.
|
|
14.
A.J. Brown
WR - TEN (at CIN)
Brown's been on fire ever since he got back into the lineup. He belongs in your starting lineup every week as a low-end WR1 with upside. In this matchup, he could push for a top-5 finish.
|
|
15.
Tyler Lockett
WR - SEA (vs . SF)
Are all of our concerns about Lockett's fantasy outlook put to rest after last week? I would venture to say so due to 20 targets going Lockett's way against the Cardinals. There are going to be some games where the targets go Metcalf's way and then there are going to be some games where they all go to Lockett. We just need to keep viewing Lockett as a low-end WR1 every single week and deal with the potential range of outcomes.
|
|
16.
Calvin Ridley
WR - ATL (at CAR)
Ridley continues to tear it up and he's been utterly dominant for fantasy football this season. Even though the Panthers have been tough on opposing WRs, Ridley should have no problem putting up a dominant day.
|
|
17.
Julio Jones
WR - ATL (at CAR)
Jones didn't appear to be 100% last week, but he was still out there soaking up targets. As long as Julio's on the field, he belongs in your lineup as a locked-in WR1.
|
|
18.
James Conner
RB - PIT (at BAL)
Conner was everywhere for the Steelers last week and ended up touching the ball 23 times. While he didn't find the end zone on the stat sheet, he did lose a score due to an offensive penalty. With all the injuries to the other RBs in fantasy football, Conner's a solid low-end RB1 start this week even in a tough matchup. He's simply going to see too much work to not view him in that light.
|
|
19.
Kenny Golladay
WR - DET (vs . IND)
Golladay's an amazing NFL receiver. If you haven't seen his catches from last Sunday, please go watch them. Each one is an acrobatic catch that defies logic. Anyway, Golladay continues to produce solid high-end WR2 numbers each week. He's doing this all without finding the end zone the past two weeks either. Golladay brings a safe floor with ridiculous upside if he can get back to scoring touchdowns. In this matchup, he's a solid mid-range WR2.
|
|
20.
Adam Thielen
WR - MIN (at GB)
Thielen's a locked-and-loaded start every single week. He can be viewed as a mid-range WR1 against the Packers corners
|
|
21.
Travis Kelce
TE - KC (vs . NYJ)
He's coming off a game where he totaled just three receptions and 31 yards. Sure, it was in the snow, but you know what he did the last time he came off a three-catch performance? He caught eight passes for 108 yards and a touchdown. This is one of those matchups where if you simply look at fantasy points allowed, you'll see the Jets rank 13th against them, which is not great, but also not bad. When you see they've faced the eighth-fewest targets despite playing all seven games, that's the giveaway. From an efficiency standpoint, they've allowed 2.42 PPR points per target to tight ends, which ranks as the third-most in the NFL, behind only the Jaguars and Falcons. Kelce leads the NFL in both red zone targets and targets inside the 10-yard line. Well, the Jets have allowed 5-of-11 red zone targets to tight ends go for touchdowns. Start Kelce as an elite TE1 and expect game-breaking upside.
|
|
22.
George Kittle
TE - SF (at SEA)
He's now totaled 40 targets in the four full games he's played, which amounts to a ridiculous 10.0 targets per game. He's been a bit up-and-down production-wise, but with all the injuries on the 49ers (Samuel, Mostert, Wilson, Coleman), we should expect a big game out of him this week. If there were a game we could guarantee 10-plus targets for a tight end, it has to be this one, right? However, there are some things I see that just stand out in my research for the week, and one of those things in this game was that teams have targeted their tight ends just 11.5 percent of the time against the Seahawks, which is easily the lowest mark in the league; no other team is under 13.5 percent. That's led to them being one of just four teams who've allowed less than 10 percent of fantasy production to tight ends. It's odd though because they've allowed 8.55 yards per target to the position when targeted, which is the seventh-highest number in the league, and usually most telling when it comes to tight ends. Kittle is going to steal a lot of those 31.3 targets per game that go to wide receivers against the Seahawks. Kittle has seen a 29.0 percent target share since returning to the lineup, and that was with Samuel in the lineup. He's the best tight end on the slate.
|
|
23.
Mike Evans
WR - TB (at NYG)
When Godwin is in the lineup, Evans is essentially irrelevant. However, now that Godwin is out and Antonio Brown is not yet able to join the active roster, Evans is back in the WR2 conversation. He should see plenty of targets in this matchup and he can be viewed as a solid WR2 with upside.
|
|
24.
Boston Scott
RB - PHI (vs . DAL)
If Sanders sits, Scott becomes an intriguing option to plug into your lineup as a high-end RB2.
|
|
25.
Robby Anderson
WR - CAR (vs . ATL)
He ranks fourth in the league while averaging 2.76 yards per route run, which is typically a great indicator of future success. He's been the opposite of the receiver he was in New York, as he's been as consistent as they come, racking up at least 55 yards in every game, including 74-plus yards in 6-of-7 games. He's a legitimate borderline WR1 with his production this year, which is not something anyone expected to say. Now he heads into a matchup with the Falcons who have allowed 10.55 yards per target to receivers, which is the highest mark in the league, and it's amounted to 223.0 yards per game for them. Anderson will primarily see A.J. Terrell in coverage, a rookie cornerback who's allowed a ridiculous 21-of-24 passing for 287 yards and two touchdowns in his coverage. Anderson hit them up for 8/112/0 in the first game, so there's no hesitation starting him as a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 here.
|
|
26.
Stefon Diggs
WR - BUF (vs . NE)
Diggs has come crashing back down to earth, along with the rest of the Bills offense, but he's still commanding a large target share. With Diggs' involvement in the offense, plus his talent, he's always worth rolling into your lineup as a high-end WR2/low-end WR1.
|
|
27.
Keenan Allen
WR - LAC (at DEN)
Allen continues to soak up targets with Herbert behind center. He's absolutely worth plugging into your lineup every single week as a high-end WR2.
|
|
28.
Ronald Jones II
RB - TB (at NYG)
Jones had been looking terrific on the ground the past several weeks, but his deficiencies in the receiving game reared their ugly head yet again last week. Jones now has four drops on 26 targets this season. With Fournette healthy now and right behind him on the depth chart, he can't afford to continue to drop the football. Jones is hanging on by a thread to this job and one more drop, or missed blitz pickup, and Jones could be riding the bench for a very long time. He's still worth rolling out as a mid-range RB2 due to the other available options, but he absolutely comes with risk.
|
|
29.
Myles Gaskin
RB - MIA (vs . LAR)
Gaskin continues to receive enough touches in this offense to be viewed as a safe start every single week. Against this defense, he gets a slight downgrade, but he should still be viewed as a solid RB2 start.
|
|
30.
D.J. Moore
WR - CAR (vs . ATL)
Moore continues to only see four to six targets when Samuel is in the lineup, but he's producing with his opportunity. Moore should be viewed as a low-end WR2 with upside in this matchup.
|
|
31.
David Montgomery
RB - CHI (vs . NO)
Playing Montgomery in fantasy football isn't going to be pretty if you end up watching the game. However, he's getting too many touches in this offense to hurt your fantasy roster. Last week, even though Montgomery did next to nothing, he still finished as the RB24 on the week. With his work in the receiving game, he's a safe option to roll out as a low-end RB2 in this matchup against the Saints defense.
|
|
32.
Darrell Henderson
RB - LAR (at MIA)
Henderson put up solid numbers last week and looked great running in between the tackles. While Brown will continue to be involved in this backfield, Henderson has guaranteed touches in this offense with Cam Akers seeing one or two snaps a game. Henderson can be started as a solid RB2 with upside this week against the Dolphins run defense.
|
|
33.
Justin Jefferson
WR - MIN (at GB)
Jefferson has emerged as one of the best fantasy wide receivers this season and he can be viewed as a mid-range WR2 with upside in this matchup that should see points go up on the board.
|
|
34.
Giovani Bernard
RB - CIN (vs . TEN)
At this point, it seems unlikely that Mixon suits up as he's dealing with his foot injury. With that being the case, Bernard shoots up to a top-15 option this week. This is a fine matchup for opposing RBs and points should go up on the board in this game. If you've still got Gio on your roster, make sure to get him into your starting lineup.
|
|
35.
Travis Fulgham
WR - PHI (vs . DAL)
Fulgham has emerged as one of the better fantasy WRs in this offense and should be viewed as a smash play this week. Against the porous Cowboys defense that is currently mailing it in, Fulgham should be viewed as a high-end WR2 this week with tremendous upside.
|
|
36.
Melvin Gordon III
RB - DEN (vs . LAC)
Gordon should receive the majority of the touches in this game if Lindsay is not able to suit up. Due to the volume, Gordon should be viewed as a mid-range RB2.
|
|
37.
D'Andre Swift
RB - DET (vs . IND)
Swift has stepped up nicely into his expanded role in this offense, but he's still second in this backfield to AP. Swift's finding the end zone regularly, which is boosting his fantasy production, but it's extremely unpredictable. With a tough matchup here against the Colts defense, Swift gets downgraded to a low-end RB2 that will need to score to finish much higher.
|
|
38.
Cooper Kupp
WR - LAR (at MIA)
Kupp wasn't exactly heavily targeted last week, but that's sort of been the theme of this entire season for him. He was extremely efficient though and still produced for fantasy managers that plugged him into their starting lineups in a tough matchup. In this game against the Dolphins, Kupp can be started as a low-end WR2 that will need to score to finish much higher than that.
|
|
39.
Robert Woods
WR - LAR (at MIA)
Woods didn't get much done through the air last week, but he was heavily involved as a runner. This was a tough matchup against the Bears defense, which had me downgrading Woods and Kupp all last week anyway. Now, the Rams passing attack should have more room to operate in this one and Woods should be viewed as a solid mid-range WR2.
|
|
40.
Brandon Aiyuk
WR - SF (at SEA)
With Samuel out for this game, Aiyuk gets a huge bump up in my weekly rankings. He's in line for a large workload here and can be viewed as a solid start against a terrible pass defense. Aiyuk should be viewed as a low-end WR2 this week with upside.
|
|
41.
Amari Cooper
WR - DAL (at PHI)
Every single Cowboys receiver gets a massive downgrade this week. Cooper should still see enough volume, but he has the QB situation to worry about and a tough matchup against Darius Slay. Cooper's a low-end WR2 this week.
|
|
42.
Tyler Boyd
WR - CIN (vs . TEN)
Boyd put on a show last week and he should be viewed as a solid low-end WR2 in this matchup with upside.
|
|
43.
Tee Higgins
WR - CIN (vs . TEN)
Higgins continues to get the job done for fantasy and can be viewed as a safe high-end WR3 this week.
|
|
44.
Darren Waller
TE - LV (at CLE)
Through six games, Waller is averaging 9.2 targets per game, which leads all tight ends. Yes, more than Kittle's 9.0 per game and Kelce's 8.0 per game. Waller has delivered for his fantasy managers, too, as he's totaled double-digit PPR points in 5-of-6 games. In fact, going back to last year (span of 22 games), he has just one game with less than 8.0 PPR points. A matchup with the Browns is definitely not a bad thing, either, as they've allowed five different tight ends to score 10.2 or more PPR points against them this year and have allowed at least four receptions to seven different tight ends. When you see the list of tight ends they've played, you'll be even more excited about Waller's prospects this week. Mark Andrews (who went for 5/58/2), Dalton Schultz, C.J. Uzomah, Drew Sample, Trey Burton, Logan Thomas, and Eric Ebron are the tight ends they've played, so hardly a tough schedule. Despite that, they've allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to the tight end position. Knowing their opponents have averaged over 40 pass attempts per game, Waller should be locked and loaded as an elite TE1.
|
|
45.
Mark Andrews
TE - BAL (vs . PIT)
He's been extremely hit-or-miss this year, as he's either totaled 55-plus yards and scored at least one touchdown, or he's totaled fewer than 30 yards with no touchdown. His fantasy finishes in half-PPR formats have been 1, 30, 35, 3, 3, 30. The Steelers have allowed just 48.9 percent of passes directed at tight ends to be completed. That's helped them allow a piddly 4.98 yards per target to the position, and they've allowed just one touchdown on 47 targets. Despite playing against Zach Ertz, Noah Fant, Jonnu Smith, Austin Hooper, Evan Engram, and Jordan Akins, they've yet to allow a tight end record more than 57 yards or finish better than the TE9. When the two teams met last year, he totaled five catches for 45 yards on seven targets. Bottom line is that Andrews is far from a sure thing to produce for his fantasy managers but you're going to play him in redraft leagues due to the upside he presents, which is top-three every week.
|
|
46.
JaMycal Hasty
RB - SF (at SEA)
This backfield is an absolute mystery to try and project week in and week out. However, it gets a bit easier this week with Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman, and Jeff Wilson all out of the picture. Hasty should see the majority of the work on the ground, but this is a tough matchup for opposing RBs. He should be viewed as a high-end RB3.
|
|
47.
Marquise Brown
WR - BAL (vs . PIT)
Brown has a tough matchup here this week against the Steelers secondary. With Lamar projected to struggle as a passer, Brown's probably best viewed as a low-end WR3 that has a wide range of outcomes. He can always break away a long play, but it's all about determining the probabilities of that happening.
|
|
48.
Diontae Johnson
WR - PIT (at BAL)
Welcome back to the lineup, Diontae! Johnson immediately jumped back into the leading receiver role for the Steelers offense and he delivered for fantasy managers that took a shot on him in his first week back. Moving forward, Johnson absolutely belongs in your starting lineup as a solid WR2 with upside every single week. With that being said, he does get a slight downgrade in this matchup against the Ravens corners, but his target volume should allow him to finish as a low-end WR2.
|
|
49.
Jarvis Landry
WR - CLE (vs . LV)
Landry should assume a larger workload in this offense with Odell Beckham out for the season with a torn ACL. He was merely a FLEX play previously, but he now gets a boost up to a high-end WR3 with upside in this matchup. The Raiders are currently the 9th easiest matchup for opposing WRs and Landry should put together a fine performance.
|
|
50.
Jamaal Williams
RB - GB (vs . MIN)
If he sits, Williams would become a must-play option again. Williams has been more involved in the offense recently and he delivered last week in Jones' absence. If Jones suits up this week, Williams should be viewed as a high-end RB3 that will provide more value in Full PPR formats. If Jones sits, Williams moves to a top-12 option.
|
|
51.
Leonard Fournette
RB - TB (at NYG)
Fournette stepped in last week and was heavily involved in this offense. He was explosive on the ground, averaging 4.5 yards per carry, and was also heavily targeted out of the backfield. Fournette is in strong FLEX consideration this week, or could even be rolled out as a low-end RB2/high-end RB3 if you're in need of a fill-in option. There's also the slim possibility that Fournette just simply outright wins this job sooner than later.
|
|
52.
Chase Claypool
WR - PIT (at BAL)
Claypool came crashing back down to earth last week after a few solid performances and there are now serious questions about whether or not he can be trusted in your starting lineup. In this matchup, Claypool should be viewed as a FLEX play that will need to find the end zone to finish much higher than that.
|
|
53.
Justin Jackson
RB - LAC (at DEN)
We assumed that we had clarity on what this backfield was going to look like last week, but both options fell flat in a great matchup. Jackson's a safe bet every single week due to his involvement in the receiving game, but we cannot be confident in how the carry splits are going to break down between the two options in this backfield. Jackson can be viewed as a low-end RB2 this week.
|
|
54.
Le'Veon Bell
RB - KC (vs . NYJ)
Bell saw six carries in his first game with the Chiefs and showed some explosiveness that simply hasn't been there for the past few years. However, with CEH still above him on the depth chart, Bell's not worth looking at as anything more than a mid-range RB3.
|
|
55.
Rob Gronkowski
TE - TB (at NYG)
It appears we have Gronk back in our lives. He's now totaled at least six targets and 52 yards in each of his last three games and has scored in each of his last two games. He's seen more deep targets (20-plus yards down the field) than any other tight end with seven of them, so even though he's caught just three of them, it leaves the opportunity for one-play upside. With Chris Godwin out of the lineup, it should allow for more targets, too. The Giants have only faced 5.7 tight end targets per game, which is one of the lowest marks in football, and have held tight ends in check for the most part. They have allowed 7.60 yards per target and a solid 65.0 percent completion-rate, but they've allowed just one touchdown to them, keeping the overall numbers down. It's not a great matchup considering just one tight end has caught more than four balls against them, but considering the surge in his play as of late, it's tough to keep him out of lineups, because if Gronk is back, he's matchup-proof.
|
|
56.
DeVante Parker
WR - MIA (vs . LAR)
With the QB change, there's a ton of uncertainty as to what the target share distribution is going to look like in this offense. Parker's still a solid start, based on the assumption that he's still see the majority of the targets, but he gets a slight downgrade in the rankings until we see it happen on the field. He should be viewed as a WR2 this week.
|
|
57.
Devin Singletary
RB - BUF (vs . NE)
Singletary has been woefully inefficient the past couple of weeks and he's now seeing his snap count decrease as Moss gets acclimated back into the offense after his injury. I'd recommend sitting Singletary if you can this week. He's a risky RB3 play at best.
|
|
58.
Joshua Kelley
RB - LAC (at DEN)
Kelley's continuing to see enough work in this backfield to be considered for fantasy football, but it's not amount to much production at all. Kelley's a mid-range RB3 that will need to find the end zone to finish much higher than that.
|
|
59.
Darius Slayton
WR - NYG (vs . TB)
Slayton takes a huge hit with Shepard coming back into the lineup. While he can always hit the big play, he's an extremely risky option to plug into your lineup this week. Slayton should draw coverage from Jamel Dean, who has been solid all season. Slayton's a boom-or-bust FLEX option in week eight.
|
|
60.
JuJu Smith-Schuster
WR - PIT (at BAL)
Juju jumped back into relevancy in week seven and had a solid fantasy outing. In this matchup, Juju should be viewed as a low-end WR3 though.
|
|
61.
A.J. Green
WR - CIN (vs . TEN)
Green continues to see a ridiculous amount of targets in this offense and he's now producing enough to be viewed as a solid FLEX play with upside every single week.
|
|
62.
Jonnu Smith
TE - TEN (at CIN)
Smith disappointed in week seven, but he came extremely close to hauling in an end zone target. With Davis, Humphries, and Brown all on the field, there's reason to be concerned about Smith's involvement in this offense moving forward, but it's not enough to pull him from your starting lineup. The Titans should look to rectify their mistake from last week and work to get the ball in Jonnu's hands in this plus matchup. Keep plugging Smith into your lineup as a solid mid-range TE1 with upside.
|
|
63.
Mike Williams
WR - LAC (at DEN)
Rostering Williams has been a rollercoaster this season. He's had great games in matchups where we've sat him and then has disappointed mightily in matchups where we rolled him into our starting lineup. In this offense, it's appearing like Allen is the main target and Williams is a complete afterthought. He can remain on your bench this week.
|
|
64.
J.K. Dobbins
RB - BAL (vs . PIT)
Dobbins should get the nod here as the lead back with Ingram unlikely to suit up. With this offensive philosophy, it's hard to see Dobbins getting 75% of the touches out of this backfield, which could push him up into top-12 consideration against a very stout run defense. He should be viewed as a low-end RB2 that will need to score, or break away a long run, to finish higher than that.
|
|
65.
CeeDee Lamb
WR - DAL (at PHI)
No one else has taken a massive nose dive in the rankings like Lamb has this past week. Lamb slots in as a low-end WR3 in my weekly rankings.
|
|
66.
Hunter Henry
TE - LAC (at DEN)
You'd think that with the way Herbert's been playing, that Henry's value would be through the roof. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case. He's now totaled less than 40 yards in three straight games, including terrific matchups against the Jaguars and Saints. The targets are there, as he's seen at least seven targets in 5-of-6 games, so that's not it. Things should even out over time, but he's been extremely inefficient with his targets to this point. Will a matchup with the Broncos change that? They have allowed a 76.2 percent catch-rate to tight ends, which is among the highest in the league, but those receptions have gone for an average of just 9.72 yards, which is the sixth-lowest mark in football. Despite playing against some very good tight ends (Jonnu Smith, Rob Gronkowski, Eric Ebron, and Travis Kelce), there hasn't been a single tight end who's topped 49 yards against them. Just two of those tight ends topped five targets, which is a number that Henry sees regularly, so we can't automatically say he won't produce. His targets will keep him in the TE1 conversation no matter what, but he's more of a mid-to-low TE1 this week in what's a tough matchup.
|
|
67.
Jerick McKinnon
RB - SF (at SEA)
McKinnon should be involved in this offense, but Kyle Shanahan has simply ignored him the past couple of weeks. This makes McKinnon a risky RB3 play. He could receive all of the touches in this one or he could see four total touches. We simply just have no way of knowing what Shanahan is going to do.
|
|
68.
Corey Davis
WR - TEN (at CIN)
Davis was able to find the end zone last week, but he's nothing more than a FLEX play. Granted, he has upside in this matchup, but he comes with a wide range of outcomes in this matchup where Tennessee should be able to run the ball all over Cincinnati.
|
|
69.
Cole Beasley
WR - BUF (vs . NE)
Beasley has a consistent floor every single week, but with Brown most likely back in the lineup here, he's only worth looking at as a FLEX option in Full PPR leagues.
|
|
70.
Damien Harris
RB - NE (at BUF)
At this point, none of the Patriots RBs are really worth looking at from a fantasy perspective. With the way this offense is looking right now, scoring opportunities simply are not there. Harris is a fine dart throw, but you need him to score in order to be fantasy relevant.
|
|
71.
Carlos Hyde
RB - SEA (vs . SF)
Hyde was set to take on a large workload if Carson missed this game, but he's also been dealing with some hamstring tightness. With the news that Carson might play, Hyde's nothing more than a mid-range RB3 if he suits up.
|
|
72.
Rashard Higgins
WR - CLE (vs . LV)
Higgins is the next man up in this offense and he's shown previously that he can be an effective fantasy asset when he's given an opportunity. He should be viewed as a low-end WR3 this week due to the matchup.
|
|
73.
Henry Ruggs III
WR - LV (at CLE)
Ruggs hasn't been able to do much in this offense recently, which bumps him down my rankings this week. He always has the potential to break off a huge play, but he's nothing more than a FLEX play due to his wide range of outcomes.
|
|
74.
T.Y. Hilton
WR - IND (at DET)
Hilton's essentially irrelevant in this offense. He's seeing guys like Marcus Johnson outproduce him, which is never a good sign. Hilton's worth dropping if you're still rostering him.
|
|
75.
Jared Cook
TE - NO (at CHI)
We figured we could rely on six-plus targets with Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders out of the lineup... but no. Cook has now seen 15 targets over his last four games, which is far from ideal. They have been okay in fantasy because he's scored on three of them, but his yardage leaves something to be desired (32 yards or less in three of those games). There are just five teams who've seen more targets directed at tight ends than the Bears. That's led to 52 yards and/or a touchdown to 6-of-7 tight ends. The only tight end who failed to hit one of those markers was Ian Thomas, who saw one target. It's not that the Bears are a smash spot, as only two of those tight ends were able to hit top-12 numbers. Going back to the start of last year (span of 23 games), they've allowed just three tight ends to top 56 yards against them. But again, with the receivers ailing, we should expect targets for Cook, and that puts him in the TE1 conversation this week.

76.
Jerry Jeudy
WR - DEN (vs . LAC)
Jeudy is simply not someone that you can trust right now with the way that this offense is looking in Denver. He's not seeing enough targets to be relevant and he's being outproduced by Patrick. If Patrick misses this game with his injury, Jeudy gets a slight boost, but it's not going to be enough to view him as anything more than a low-end FLEX play.
|
|
77.
T.J. Hockenson
TE - DET (vs . IND)
His targets have consistently ranged from 4-7 per week, and he's been mighty efficient, as he's totaled at least 53 yards and/or a touchdown in every game. Despite ranking 17th among tight ends in targets, Hockenson is currently the No. 7 tight end in PPR formats. His next challenge is a tough one. The Colts are one of just two teams who've yet to allow a touchdown to tight ends. Of the fantasy production they've allowed to skill-position players, just 8.4 percent has gone to the tight end position, which is the lowest mark in the league. To this point, they've allowed just 3.72 yards per target to them, which ranks No. 1 in the NFL. Through six games, the Colts have allowed 134 yards to tight ends. That's bananas. The 0.84 PPR points per target is easily the lowest mark in the NFL, so it's probably best to be cautious with what you expect out of Hockenson this week. He's still in the low-end TE1 conversation but is far from a lock for top-12 production.
|
|
78.
Sterling Shepard
WR - NYG (vs . TB)
Shepard entered back into the lineup last week and immediately saw a large percentage of the targets go his way. He's always soaked up targets in this offense, but his health has been the main concern for his long-term fantasy outlook. In this offense, it's hard to trust any one receiver, but Shepard should be the Giants WR that we're looking to start this week. It's not going to be pretty, as the Giants offense is projected to struggle mightily, but Shepard should see enough volume to be viewed as a mid-range WR3.
|
|
79.
Malcolm Brown
RB - LAR (at MIA)
Brown was able to find the end zone last week, but Henderson heading to the sidelines temporarily with an injury may have assisted in that opportunity. He's a fine bye week fill-in option for desperate lineups, but otherwise it might be best to leave him on your bench.
|
|
80.
Latavius Murray
RB - NO (at CHI)
Murray continues to see around 11 carries per game and he's putting up fine numbers on the ground. However, he hasn't been finding the end zone recently, which makes him an average fantasy play. He's simply a bye week fill-in option at this point that you're hoping is able to find the end zone. He can be viewed as a mid-range RB3 this week.
|
|
81.
Gus Edwards
RB - BAL (vs . PIT)
Edwards should see plenty of carries in this game too, but it's hard to trust him as anything more than a bye week fill-in option.
|
|
82.
Scotty Miller
WR - TB (at NYG)
Miller has been pulled in and out of the starting lineup all season and there's a possibility that we never see him on the field again once AB joins. However, he is looking like an extremely solid play this week with Godwin out. Miller will line up against Ryan Lewis and Miller should be able to win that matchup regularly. He's a low-end WR3 play with upside this week.
|
|
83.
Marvin Jones Jr.
WR - DET (vs . IND)
Jones was able to finally make an impact last week, but the matchup may have played a large role in that. This week, Jones isn't worth considering as anything more than a low-end FLEX play.
|
|
84.
Michael Gallup
WR - DAL (at PHI)
Gallup's off the redraft radar in this offense and can be dropped to your waiver wire.
|
|
85.
Tre'Quan Smith
WR - NO (at CHI)
It was certainly a disappointing to watch Smith finish with just four catches for 54 yards against the Panthers, though it wasn't really his fault, as he caught all four of his targets. With Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders out of the lineup, you would've thought he would've had more. That may be the case again this week against the Bears, who've been brutal on opposing receviers. Through seven games, they've allowed just four receivers to top 58 yards against them. They've also allowed just a 57.3 percent catch-rate to receivers, so the targets absolutely need to be there in order for a receiver to succeed. He's moving all over the formation, including the slot almost half the time, which does get him away from Kyle Fuller and Jaylon Johnson. The Bears have Buster Skrine in the slot, and he's allowed 28-of-39 passing for 279 yards and a touchdown in his coverage, so he is the weakest link. Still, it's a brutal matchup. If Thomas and Sanders are out again, Smith should still be in the high-end WR4 conversation, as even backup receiver Marquez Callaway suffered an ankle sprain last week. If Thomas plays, Smith would move down into WR5 territory.
|
|
86.
Zack Moss
RB - BUF (vs . NE)
Moss has started to become more involved in this offense the past couple of weeks as he works his way back from an injury. He's seen his snap counts go from 25% in week six to 46% in week seven. Meanwhile, Singletary's are trending downward. Moss has the opportunity to score in this offense with his work inside the red zone and he should continue to see more opportunity with Singletary struggling mightily. Moss is worth rostering and potentially plugging into your lineup as a bye week fill-in option that could pay off.
|
|
87.
Curtis Samuel
WR - CAR (vs . ATL)
Samuel got more involved in the offense this past week and was able to find the end zone as a runner. He was a drop candidate early on in the season, but he's now played his way back into FLEX consideration. He can be viewed as a low-end FLEX play against Atlanta.
|
|
88.
Richard Rodgers
TE - PHI (vs . DAL)
With both Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert out of the lineup, Rodgers played as the primary tight end against the Giants, and he delivered. All in all, he played 69-of-81 snaps, saw eight targets, and netted 6/85/0 on them. We know how important the tight ends are in the Doug Pederson offense, so we shouldn't be all that surprised. The Cowboys have allowed 40 yards and/or a touchdown to six different tight ends this year, including a four-catch, 60-yard, one-touchdown performance to Logan Thomas last week. He did all of that on just four targets. The 2.06 PPR points per target the Cowboys have allowed to tight ends ranks as the ninth-highest mark in the league. They've allowed the 10th-most points per game to tight ends despite seeing just 6.4 targets per game to them. Meanwhile, the Eagles have targeted their tight ends 11.7 times per game. Rodgers is someone you should consider as a low-end TE1/high-end TE2 streamer.

89.
Mecole Hardman
WR - KC (vs . NYJ)
|
|
90.
Noah Fant
TE - DEN (vs . LAC)
Fant returned to the lineup last week and ran a tight end team-high 26 routes, though they only netted three catches for 38 yards, and he appeared hobbled at times throughout the game. Meanwhile Okwuegbunam ran 18 routes and racked up seven catches for 60 yards. Suddenly, Fant may have competition for targets, as "Albert O" has totaled 13 targets over the last two weeks. Don't forget that him and Drew Lock were teammates at Missouri and connected really well. The Chargers have not been a dominant defense against tight ends, and in fact, they are below average, allowing 2.10 PPR points per target, which ranks as the seventh-highest mark in football. Teams have targeted their tight ends just 6.5 times per game, which is far from ideal, but the Broncos have targeted their tight ends 10.2 times per game, so something has to give. With Tim Patrick looking extremely iffy, there may be even more targets to go around. There have already been three top-seven performances by tight ends against the Chargers, so as long as Fant practices in full at some point this week, he should be considered a top-10 play. If he doesn't, things get a bit dicier, so stay tuned here for updates. As for Okwuegbunam, he'd be a borderline TE1 if Fant were to sit out. If Fant plays and Patrick sits, he moves up into the TE2 with upside category. Clearly, there's a lot to sort out here as the week goes on.
|
|
91.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling
WR - GB (vs . MIN)
MVS failed to bring in any of his four targets last week in a fine matchup. Against the Vikings corners, MVS has low-end FLEX appeal, but he should be avoided if you have the chance.
|
|
92.
Allen Robinson II
WR - CHI (vs . NO)
With the offense performing the way it is and refusing to feature ARob, it's hard to trust him as anything more than a high-end WR2. Hopefully the Bears realize that targeting Robinson frequently is a recipe to success and we can cease having these questions regarding his fantasy outlook, but until that happens, we need to move him down our rankings slightly. He still belongs in your starting lineup, assuming that he clears concussion protocol in time, but he can't be viewed as a locked-in WR1 anymore.
|
|
93.
Nelson Agholor
WR - LV (at CLE)
With Bryan Edwards sidelined, Agholor has stepped up nicely and has been putting together some solid performances for fantasy football. It's hard to fully trust him in your lineup, but as long as Edwards is out, he should be viewed as a solid FLEX play with upside.
|
|
94.
Kendrick Bourne
WR - SF (at SEA)
If you're in need of a WR due to bye weeks or injuries, Bourne can be scooped up off of waivers and plugged into your lineup as a solid FLEX play in a fantastic matchup.
|
|
95.
Preston Williams
WR - MIA (vs . LAR)
Is he rounding into shape now over a year removed from his torn ACL? Some have blamed that as his reason for early season struggles, but his target shares are still nothing to get excited about, as he's seen just 13 targets over the last four games. He's scored in three of those games, propping up his fantasy totals, as he's topped 41 yards just once all season. Of the fantasy production the Rams have allowed to opponents' skill-position players, just 43.8 percent of it has gone to wide receivers, which is the third-lowest mark in football. Williams has generated a league-low 1.7 yards of separation at target, which doesn't provide Tagovailoa with a big window against one of the best secondaries in the league. In fact, Darious Williams has been just as good as Jalen Ramsey, allowing just 14-of-26 passing for 222 yards and one touchdown while intercepting two passes. The Rams have allowed just five top-36 wide receivers through seven games, and all of them have seen at least six targets. Williams is someone I'd fade as a WR5.
|
|
96.
Adrian Peterson
RB - DET (vs . IND)
AP's still receiving a ton of carries in this offense, but he's doing next to nothing with them. Against a stout Colts defense, AP's a sit candidate unless you're in an absolute pinch.
|
|
97.
Lamical Perine
RB - NYJ (at KC)
Perine continues to see his role increase in this offense, but it's not enough to warrant standalone fantasy value. He's a low-end RB3 this week.
|
|
98.
Hayden Hurst
TE - ATL (at CAR)
With the Atlanta offense back to being one of the better units in the NFL, Hurst can be viewed as a solid low-end TE1 every week.
|
|
99.
Demarcus Robinson
WR - KC (vs . NYJ)
Someone asked Watkins on Twitter during last week's game if he'd be back in Week 8 and he said yes, so it seems he's feeling better. The three full games he's played this year have netted 9, 8, and 7 targets, so he's certainly someone who needs to be on the fantasy radar. The Jets have been a decent matchup for receivers to this point, although the 1.81 PPR points per target they've allowed is right near the league average. That's kept them right in the middle of the pack when it comes to fantasy points allowed, as they rank 15th against wide receivers. Watkins primary matchup would be the best on the field, as Pierre Desir has allowed 24-of-33 passing for 299 yards and five touchdowns (most in NFL) in his coverage. We have to see how Watkins is doing in practice before playing him with any confidence, but this matchup isn't one that should cause you to be concerned. If he practices in full, he can be considered an upside WR4. If he doesn't play, Robinson would move into the WR4/5 conversation.
|
|
100.
Robert Tonyan
TE - GB (vs . MIN)
Remember when Tonyan was the No. 1 tight end in fantasy coming off his three-touchdown game against the Falcons? Since that time, he's seen six targets and caught five passes for 57 yards. He has been trying to play through a few injuries, so maybe he's getting healthier as the weeks go on? The Vikings don't look so bad on paper against the tight end position, as they've allowed the 14th-fewest fantasy points per game to the position, but when you look at their efficiency numbers, they're likely a top-five matchup for tight ends. They've allowed an 80.0 percent catch-rate (3rd-highest), 15.13 yards per reception (highest in NFL), 12.1 yards per target (most in NFL), and 2.41 PPR points per target (4th-highest). That doesn't seem like such a brutal matchup, does it? We should pay attention to the injury reports because if Tonyan practices in full, he should be a solid low-end TE1/high-end TE2 streamer.
|
|
101.
Denzel Mims
WR - NYJ (at KC)
The good news is that he saw seven targets in his NFL debut, which is more than most receivers can say on a weekly basis. He caught four of them for 42 yards, which isn't bad when you consider the matchup against the Bills. The Jets receivers have been targeted 22.9 times per game, so there are targets to go around, especially if Jamison Crowder sits out again. The unfortunate part is that the Chiefs are not a matchup to attack with wide receivers, as they've allowed just eight wide receviers to finish as top-48 options (WR4 or better), and five of them needed to score, which is something the Jets receivers have done just four times all season. All in all, the 911 yards the Chiefs have allowed to receivers ranks second in the NFL, though the 130.1 yards per game is the best in the NFL. Mims is someone who should be stashed, but he's nothing more than a WR5 this week.
|
|
102.
James White
RB - NE (at BUF)
At this point, none of the Patriots RBs are really worth looking at from a fantasy perspective. With the way this offense is looking right now, scoring opportunities simply are not there. White should be seeing way more targets out of the backfield than what he's been getting, which makes him a risky FLEX play at best in Full PPR leagues.
|
|
103.
Mike Gesicki
TE - MIA (vs . LAR)
Over their last two games, Gesicki has totaled eight targets and turned them into 5/91/0. Meanwhile, Adam Shaheen and Durham Smythe have combined for eight targets and turned them into 7/88/3. This is not great news. What is great news is that it's not likely to keep up. In those two games, Gesicki has run 50 routes, while Shaheen has run 14, and Smythe has run just four of them. Still, Gesicki's fantasy finishes have been maddening: 24, 2, 15, 45, 7, 76. That's extremely boom-or-bust, and now having a rookie quarterback under center isn't likely to help his consistency, as they're likely to go a bit more run-heavy. One bit that you should know is that Gesicki has been working with the scout team all year, so he should have chemistry with Tagovailoa from day one. The Rams aren't a team who's been great against tight ends, allowing both George Kittle and Tyler Kroft to finish as top-two options against them. Targets have been funneled to them due to their cornerback talent, and that's led to a league-leading 64 targets against them. They're allowing a pedestrian 1.61 PPR points per target, so it hasn't been a smash spot without a lot of volume, but Gesicki should be in the TE1 conversation this week.
|
|
104.
Greg Ward
WR - PHI (vs . DAL)
He falls under that category of wide receivers who never feel great to play, though he's delivered 12.6 or more PPR points in three of his last five games. Between DeSean Jackson, Zach Ertz, and Dallas Goedert being out of the lineup and Alshon Jeffery maybe not being a real person at this point, Ward should be in line for five-plus targets in this matchup against the Cowboys, a team that's allowed 2.18 PPR points per target. Tyler Lockett, Russell Gage, and Jarvis Landry all finished as top-24 options against them, though it's worth noting that each of them did see six-plus targets. Even Golden Tate was able to collect four catches for 42 yards against them. Ward is someone you can play as a WR5 in a pinch, especially in PPR formats.
|
|
105.
Jimmy Graham
TE - CHI (vs . NO)
Is Graham suddenly sharing the work with Cole Kmet and Demetrius Harris? He saw a respectable six targets last week but knowing Kmet and Harris combined for five themselves is worrisome. Looking at the routes, we shouldn't be too concerned, as Graham has run 59 routes the last two weeks, while Kmet has run 20, and Harris has run 15 of them. We have another revenge game narrative as Graham will be going against his former team. He's only played them once since his departure, totaling three catches for 34 yards. This year, it's been a good time to attack the Saints with tight ends, as teams have chosen to target their tight ends 27.6 percent of the time, which is the highest percentage in the league. Production has followed, as 24.8 percent of the production they've allowed to running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends has gone to the tight end position. They have already allowed five different tight ends to finish as top-10 options against them, with the only one who didn't was Ian Thomas, who saw one target. All in all, they've allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to tight ends, and Graham is seeing a respectable 15.1 percent target share. He can be considered a low-end TE1 this week, who can't be trusted as more than that with Foles' play as of late.
|
|
106.
Zach Pascal
WR - IND (at DET)
Pascal's seeing just enough work to be fantasy relevant. In this matchup, he can be rolled out as a fine FLEX play, but it's going to be hard to trust him as anything more than that.
|
|
107.
Evan Engram
TE - NYG (vs . TB)
You can't say the Giants haven't been trying to get him the ball, as he's averaging 6.3 targets per game, and they've even given him multiple carries in two of their last three games. He's totaled at least 9.5 PPR points in 4-of-7 games, which is a bit more stable than most realize, though he's yet to score more than 12.5 PPR points, so the ceiling has been non-existent. The Bucs have been similar to him, honestly. They've allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points to tight ends, giving up 6.81 yards per target (22nd), a 61.7 percent completion-rate (27th), and a touchdown every 15.7 targets (18th). So, they're a below-average matchup, though there have been five tight ends who've finished as top-15 options against them (Darren Waller was the only one who finished better than TE9). With the lack of run game, we should expect another game of six-plus targets for Engram, which keeps him in the high-end TE2 conversation.
|
|
108.
Frank Gore
RB - NYJ (at KC)
Gore is now splitting carries with Perine, which limits his fantasy outlook in a terrible offense. Gore's a RB4 this week.
|
|
109.
Wayne Gallman
RB - NYG (vs . TB)
Freeman does not appear like he's on track to play in this matchup, which means that Gallman will get the nod here. However, that doesn't exactly mean that you should be rushing out to start him in an extremely tough matchup. Gallman's a mid-range RB3 that should struggle to get things going on the ground, but could see some work through the receiving game to provide a safe floor. However, you almost certainly have better options available on your roster.
|
|
110.
Golden Tate
WR - NYG (vs . TB)
He's still yet to reach 50 yards in a game this year. He's caught at least four passes in 4-of-6 games, which provides a floor for PPR leaguers, but the ceiling is extremely limited. He probably has the best matchup on the field this week, as Sean Murphy-Bunting is the weakest link in the Bucs secondary, allowing 32-of-35 passes to be completed for 369 yards and two touchdowns in his coverage, good enough for a 129.6 QB Rating. Opposing teams have moved their receivers around to get them in the mismatch with Murphy-Bunting, but Tate is essentially the full-time slot receiver, so can he deliver? He's had other good matchups that he failed to deliver in this year and has seen just three targets over the last two games, so can we trust him enough to find out? Probably not, making him a WR5 with a limited ceiling.
|
|
111.
Darnell Mooney
WR - CHI (vs . NO)
He's playing a full-time role in the offense and has now seen at least five targets in five straight games, which puts him on the fantasy radar. He should've had a very long touchdown on Monday night, but Foles just missed him with no defender in sight. If Allen Robinson were forced to miss this game, Mooney's floor would go up, and he'd need that because just 46.7 percent of the targets against the Saints have been directed at wide receivers. They've seen just 93 targets to the position, which is a league-low, and amounts to just 15.5 per game. When receivers do catch the ball, it goes for A TON. They've allowed 15.7 yards per reception (1st), 10.44 yards per target (2nd), and a touchdown every 10.3 targets (1st). That all amounts to 2.29 PPR points per target. To put things in perspective, if Mooney saw just five targets and was an average receiver against them, he'd score 11.5 PPR points. He's not the worst hail mary play in this game, but he's still a boom-or-bust WR5 due to his lackluster quarterback play. If Robinson were to miss the game, it would bump his floor up a bit.
|
|
112.
Alexander Mattison
RB - MIN (at GB)
Mattison failed to deliver in his prime matchup in week six and now goes back to being a backup option behind Cook. He can be avoided this week.
|
|
113.
Hunter Renfrow
WR - LV (at CLE)
Renfrow hasn't done much the past few weeks, but he's still seeing enough targets to be plugged into your lineup as a bye week fill-in option in Full PPR leagues.
|
|
114.
Rex Burkhead
RB - NE (at BUF)
This backfield is a mess, we already knew that. It's only going to get worse if Michel is activated off the IR/COVID list this week, though I'd suspect one of him or Harris would be inactive. But one touch for White last week? What are they doing? White has had a semi-consistent role in the offense, which is why Week 7 was such a surprise. The Bills opponents have run the ball 43.5 percent of the time, which ranks as the 12th-highest mark, but we know Newton will steal some of those carries. The 113.9 fantasy points they've allowed on the ground ranks as the fifth-most in the league, while the 49.1 PPR points they've allowed through the air ranks as the sixth-fewest in the league. Expect the Patriots to try and run the ball quite a bit in this game, as three of the last four opponents the Bills have totaled at least 97 yards on the ground against them with running backs alone. For now, we'll assume that Michel remains out and play Harris as a low-end RB3 option who should net at least a dozen carries. We have to shake off White's big fat zero last week, as he's had a stable role in this offense for a while, but the matchup is not ideal. Consider him a low-end RB3/flex option this week. As for Burkhead, he's had a bigger role than most realize, totaling at least 47 yards in 4-of-6 games, but he's still not someone you should trust more than an emergency RB4 with everyone healthy.
|
|
115.
Eric Ebron
TE - PIT (at BAL)
Despite all the Steelers receivers being healthy last week, Ebron saw a season-high eight targets against the Titans. Sure, it helps that Roethlisberger threw 49 passes, but it's still a good sign for Ebron. The 42 routes he ran last week ranked second among tight ends, which is a great sign for production. The Ravens are a fairly dominant defense against almost all positions, but they're simply average against tight ends, allowing the 14th-most fantasy points to them. The 7.06 yards per target is close to the league average, while the touchdown every 15.7 targets is right there as well. They've allowed four tight ends hit double-digit PPR points against them, though it did require touchdowns for two of them. The concern here is Roethlisberger's struggles in Baltimore over the last five years, but Ebron's role is growing and he seems locked into five-plus targets. Consider him a mid-to-high-end TE2.
|
|
116.
Harrison Bryant
TE - CLE (vs . LV)
We all thought Njoku would be the starter with Austin Hooper out, but the Browns seem dead set on avoiding Njoku as a full-time player. Still, neither of them played massive roles compared to other tight ends in the league. Bryant ran 17 routes (ranked 26th in Week 7) while Njoku ran 12 routes. Let me be clear: If that remains the case, neither will be a reliable streamer. The Raiders have not been a matchup to avoid with tight ends, as we've seen Travis Kelce, Rob Gronkowski, and Jared Cook all score against them, though Kelce and Gronkowski were the only tight ends who topped 16 yards. Nothing about the matchup screams "must start" against the Raiders, as the 6.90 yards per target ranks 20th, the 61.9 percent completion-rate ranks 25th, and the 1.74 PPR points per target ranks 17th. Bryant would be the preferred option of the two but he's just a middling TE2 while Njoku is a touchdown-or-bust low-end TE2.
|
|
117.
Trey Burton
TE - IND (at DET)
Don't look now, but Burton is being used eerily similar to the way Eric Ebron was used with the Colts. Since joining the starting lineup, he's seen at least five targets in each game, and even got a goal-line carry last week. The Lions have been one of the better teams at defending tight ends, but it's an extremely small sample size for a team that was slightly below average against them last year, in the same scheme. Still, teams have chosen to target their tight ends just 14.2 percent of the time against them, which ranks as the third-lowest number in the league. Even worse, just 9.4 percent of fantasy production has gone to tight ends. Still, targets are all you can ask for from a streamer that's available in almost 80 percent of leagues, and Burton is getting them. He appears to be someone who'll be in the streamer conversation more than not, but this isn't a matchup that absolutely needs to be attacked. He should be considered a high-end TE2 with his steady flow of targets.
|
|
118.
Tim Patrick
WR - DEN (vs . LAC)
With the way Lock is playing right now, Patrick is the only Broncos receiver that you can look at for fantasy football. Even then, it's hard to trust him as anything more than a FLEX play. At the time of writing, it's unknown whether or not Patrick will be suiting up for this game against LA, but it might be best to sit him even if he does. The Chargers are neutralizing opposing WRs from a fantasy perspective, which makes Patrick a risky play.
|
|
119.
Damiere Byrd
WR - NE (at BUF)
At this point, all of the Patriots WRs can be avoided for fantasy football.
|
|
120.
John Brown
WR - BUF (vs . NE)
Brown should be back for this game and he deserves consideration as a low-end WR3. With him practicing in full on Wednesday, he should be fully recovered from the injury that's plagued him for a few weeks now. We'll need to continue to monitor the practice reports throughout the week, but he's a fine option to plug into your lineup.

Adam Humphries
WR - TEN (at CIN)
Humphries is nothing more than a low-end FLEX play in Full PPR formats now with the full allotment of Titans pass-catchers in the lineup.

Russell Gage
WR - ATL (at CAR)
Gage looked to be a solid play last week due to the matchup. He was injured in the first quarter, but he came back in and put up a respectable fantasy outing. However, Gage is still nothing more than a low-end FLEX play.

Nyheim Hines
RB - IND (at DET)
Hines has been seeing just enough work out of the backfield to be in the fantasy football conversation, but he has yet to deliver a solid performance after his week one explosion. Hines is a low-end RB3 this week.
|
|

Josh Reynolds
WR - LAR (at MIA)
Reynolds was featured last week, but his usage has been too sporadic to rely on for fantasy this week. He's a dart throw option for your lineup at best.

Tony Pollard

129.
Marcus Johnson
WR - IND (at DET)
He saw eight targets in Week 6, putting him on the fantasy map. He's run 75 routes over the last three weeks, which isn't a whole lot, as it's less than 75 percent of the routes that Hilton and Pascal are running. He's averaging double the yards per route they are, though his efficiency is unlikely to continue with how unpredictable Rivers has been. The Lions have been a solid matchup for receivers, though they've been better on the perimeter than they have in the slot. The perimeter duo of Amani Oruwariye and Jeff Okudah have combined to allow 38-of-65 passing for 552 yards, but they haven't allowed a touchdown in their coverage. Let's make sure that Johnson wasn't just a flash in the pan for one week, as I'm guessing that Hilton and Pascal are still ahead of him in the pecking order.

Dalton Schultz
TE - DAL (at PHI)
After looking what might be a solution to tight end problems has turned into... well, another problem. Schultz has totaled just 63 yards over the last three games combined. His targets have dipped as well, which should be expected considering they can't sustain drives on offense and their defense can't get off the field. It is worth noting that the Eagles have been pretty awful at defending tight ends this year, allowing an 81.1 percent catch-rate and 2.29 PPR points per target to them. They've already allowed six different tight ends to finish with at least 9.3 PPR points against them, which is actually a stable floor this year. Included in that bunch is a 39.3-point performance to George Kittle and a 28.4-point performance to Tyler Higbee. Just like the rest of the Cowboys pass catchers, Schultz comes with bad quarterback risk, but this matchup has been one to look forward to with tight ends. He should be considered a middling TE2 who could find his way into the top-10 with some competent quarterback play.
|
|
131.
Braxton Berrios
WR - NYJ (at KC)
Crowder seems unlikely to suit up in this matchup. With that being the case, Berrios is someone that you can plug into your starting lineup if you're desperate and need a FLEX play. Otherwise, it's probably best just to avoid this receiving corps altogether.

DeeJay Dallas
RB - SEA (vs . SF)
This is certainly a situation to monitor as the week goes on, as we're hearing that Hyde is dealing with a hamstring injury. If he's not able to go, Dallas would have the backfield practically all to himself, as Carson is out for a few weeks and Travis Homer has a bone bruise on his knee. It's not the greatest week to walk into a workhorse role, as the 49ers have allowed a league-low 0.67 PPR points per opportunity to running backs this year. There's been just one running back who's totaled more than 63 yards on the ground against the 49ers, and it was Darrell Henderson, who totaled 88 yards and failed to hit 10 PPR points. They've allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points on the ground to running backs and that's despite not having their bye week out of the way. The 5.70 yards per target is right around the league average, which does benefit Dallas, whose receiving abilities are one of the better parts of his game. There has been just one running back who's finished better than RB17 against the 49ers, so even in a workhorse role, either of these running backs will be nothing more than a low-end RB2. If Hyde is held out, Dallas would be someone to start because he'd be locked into 15-plus touches. I'll be coming back later in the week (by Saturday morning the latest) to update my projections on these two backs as we get more information.

Greg Olsen
TE - SEA (vs . SF)
We're starting to see more of a timeshare between these two tight ends, as we watched Dissly trail Olsen in routes 36-29 last week, which is a very small gap. It's something to monitor, as Dissly hadn't run more than 14 routes in the first five games. Don't forget, he was coming off an Achilles injury, so the recovery was a long one. It's not a shock to see Dissly see a season-high four targets last week. The 49ers have faced an average of just 6.0 targets per game to tight ends, and on those targets, they've allowed just 1.55 PPR points per target, which ranks as the eighth-lowest mark in the league. There have been five tight ends who've seen four-plus targets, but just two of them have topped 22 yards. I'm not big on either of these tight ends until we see one emerge as the clear-cut leader, and from the trend we saw last week, it might be Dissly.

Matt Breida
RB - MIA (vs . LAR)
With a rookie quarterback making his first NFL start, you'd better expect a run-heavy game plan out of the Dolphins, though that may not last as long as they'd like considering the spread on the game. Going into their bye week, Gaskin ranked 13th among running backs in weighted opportunity, and that's only been rising since they started making Jordan Howard inactive. Over their last two games, Gaskin has totaled 43 total touches, which is obviously great for trust in fantasy lineups. Opponents have averaged 26.0 running back touches per game against the Rams, though they haven't had much success, as they've allowed the 10th-fewest points to the position. There have been three running backs who've been able to crack the top-20 against them, and all of them totaled at least 17 touches. It's also worth noting that all three of those running backs came over the first three weeks of the season, while David Montgomery's 69 scoreless yards for 11.9 PPR points were the best performance against them since Week 3. The area where Gaskin may be able to do some damage is through the air, as he's seen at least four targets in every game, and the Rams have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points through the air to running backs. Gaskin is getting enough touches to get into RB2 territory, though his ceiling isn't very high in this matchup. Breida's role has grown in the two weeks that Howard has been inactive, totaling 18 opportunities in the two games combined, which is enough to consider for desperation RB4 potential, though there are likely better options on your roster.

Gerald Everett
TE - LAR (at MIA)
With Higbee a late scratch last week, Everett stepped into a slightly bigger role, running 20 routes, which is a number Higbee hasn't hit since Week 1. It's still not a lot of routes, as the Rams essentially let Johnny Mundt run 14 routes as well in Higbee's role. The Dolphins are one of just two teams who've yet to allow a touchdown to tight ends. It's not just that, either, as they've yet to allow a tight end more than 44 yards. It's impressive when you see that George Kittle was one of the tight ends they played when he caught four passes for 44 yards on eight targets, so he wasn't short on volume, either (that was the game Jimmy Garoppolo was benched). This is a Rams tight end group that hasn't had a single player get more than five targets in a game all season, so don't feel the need to play any of them, though Everett is on the TE2 radar if Higbee is out again. If Higbee plays, I wouldn't aim to play either of them.

Drew Sample
TE - CIN (vs . TEN)
Sample saw an increased target share last week, but his usage is too unpredictable every single week. You can leave him on your league's waiver wire.

Deonte Harris
WR - NO (at CHI)
|
|
144.
Irv Smith Jr.
TE - MIN (at GB)
He's now seen five targets in back-to-back games, but what you really need to know about is the trends in his playing time. His routes run have gone: 16, 17, 17, 12, 31, 28. It's almost like a lightbulb went off and the Vikings started playing him more. His 59 routes in Weeks 5-6 ranked eighth among tight ends. It's paid off, too, as he's turned those 10 targets into eight receptions for 119 yards. The only concern is that opponents have targeted tight ends just 13.5 percent of the time against the Packers, which ranks as the second-lowest mark in the league. However, when targeted, they have allowed a massive 10.04 yards per target to tight ends on the season, including a 77.8 percent completion-rate. In a game where the Vikings are likely to have 35-plus pass attempts, Smith should be a quality high-end TE2 streamer (and maybe rest of season) option.

David Njoku
TE - CLE (vs . LV)
We all thought Njoku would be the starter with Austin Hooper out, but the Browns seem dead set on avoiding Njoku as a full-time player. Still, neither of them played massive roles compared to other tight ends in the league. Bryant ran 17 routes (ranked 26th in Week 7) while Njoku ran 12 routes. Let me be clear: If that remains the case, neither will be a reliable streamer. The Raiders have not been a matchup to avoid with tight ends, as we've seen Travis Kelce, Rob Gronkowski, and Jared Cook all score against them, though Kelce and Gronkowski were the only tight ends who topped 16 yards. Nothing about the matchup screams "must start" against the Raiders, as the 6.90 yards per target ranks 20th, the 61.9 percent completion-rate ranks 25th, and the 1.74 PPR points per target ranks 17th. Bryant would be the preferred option of the two but he's just a middling TE2 while Njoku is a touchdown-or-bust low-end TE2.

Albert Okwuegbunam
TE - DEN (vs . LAC)
Fant returned to the lineup last week and ran a tight end team-high 26 routes, though they only netted three catches for 38 yards, and he appeared hobbled at times throughout the game. Meanwhile Okwuegbunam ran 18 routes and racked up seven catches for 60 yards. Suddenly, Fant may have competition for targets, as "Albert O" has totaled 13 targets over the last two weeks. Don't forget that him and Drew Lock were teammates at Missouri and connected really well. The Chargers have not been a dominant defense against tight ends, and in fact, they are below average, allowing 2.10 PPR points per target, which ranks as the seventh-highest mark in football. Teams have targeted their tight ends just 6.5 times per game, which is far from ideal, but the Broncos have targeted their tight ends 10.2 times per game, so something has to give. With Tim Patrick looking extremely iffy, there may be even more targets to go around. There have already been three top-seven performances by tight ends against the Chargers, so as long as Fant practices in full at some point this week, he should be considered a top-10 play. If he doesn't, things get a bit dicier, so stay tuned here for updates. As for Okwuegbunam, he'd be a borderline TE1 if Fant were to sit out. If Fant plays and Patrick sits, he moves up into the TE2 with upside category. Clearly, there's a lot to sort out here as the week goes on.

Cam Akers
RB - LAR (at MIA)
Fun fact I found while doing research this week: Akers has averaged 4.15 yards after contact, which is one of the best marks in the NFL, though it is a very small sample size (26 carries). Henderson appears to have a stranglehold on the job, though don't get too comfy as a fantasy manager, as continually on a short leash. Still, his weighted opportunity is up there with guys like Jonathan Taylor. Of the production the Dolphins have allowed to skill-position players, 40.4 percent of it has gone to running backs, which is the third-highest mark in the league. But here's one of the craziest stats you might read this week: The Dolphins have faced just one running back all season who's totaled more than 11 carries. That running back was Chris Carson, who went for 80 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries. Still, the Dolphins have allowed at least 93 rushing yards to running backs in 5-of-6 games this year. If Henderson gets volume, he'll produce like a high-end RB2, as the Dolphins have allowed the third-most fantasy points per opportunity to running backs, behind only the Packers and Raiders. He's totaled at least 14 opportunities in five of the last six games, so we must assume he'll be in that range again, so start him as an RB2 until McVay gives us a reason not to, but I'm not touching him in DFS cash games. After the Week 1 game where Brown had 22 opportunities, he's finished with 11 or less in five of the last six games. He hasn't been forgotten, as he's still received at least seven carries in 6-of-7 games and has 19 targets on the season, so he can be thought of as a last-minute RB4 replacement. Akers hasn't had a touch the last two weeks, so it's hard to recommend him to even be rostered at this point.

Tyler Kroft
TE - BUF (vs . NE)
There is not a Bills tight end you can play with any confidence. We're almost halfway through the season, and no Bills tight end has topped five targets in a game. In fact, there have been just two occasions where a tight end has seen more than three targets. Nevermind the fact that the Patriots are one of the best in the league at stopping tight ends.

Chris Herndon IV
TE - NYJ (at KC)
Over the last two weeks, the Jets tight ends have combined for five targets (Ryan Griffin 3, Herndon 1, Wesco 1). That's not going to appeal to anyone, especially when they had one of the best matchups in the league last week when they played the Bills. None of them caught a single pass in that game. You cannot start a Jets tight end right now, and it's not like the Chiefs have been extremely giving to them.

Even in a plus-matchup with the Saints, Thomas saw one target. He's now seen two or less targets in 6-of-7 games and hasn't topped 16 yards. You're not going to consider him, even against a Falcons team that's allowed more fantasy points to the tight end position than any other team in the league.

With the news that Reagor will be back in the lineup on Sunday night, he's someone that fantasy managers should consider plugging into their lineup as a solid FLEX play. While there are some unknowns as to what his role in the offense will exactly look like, this matchup is simply too good to not consider Reagor. Start him this week as a solid FLEX option that comes with ridiculous upside due to the matchup.

At this point, Carson has to be considered superhuman, right? Carson is now considered a game-time decision against the 49ers after reportedly being out for 1-2 weeks. Sound familiar? Carson's a risky RB2 play, especially when you factor in the late afternoon game timing, but he's better than some of the other options in this range. We'll need to see if he practices Thursday or Friday, but this is a situation to keep monitoring.

Avoid.
