Fantasy Football Player Notes

Out of Sherwood Park, Alberta, and straight into fantasy lineups, Hubbard is looking like a league Winner. With 19 carries and at least 80 rushing yards in four of his last five games, he has a great floor. Add in his 11 targets over the last two weeks, and there is no reason his great season shouldn't continue. Last week, the Broncos bottled up Kenneth Walker III, however, they allowed rookie Emmett Johnson to have 125 receiving yards and a score. With the Panthers offense struggling each of the last two weeks, the Broncos defense should have a field day against Bryce Young. So far, Hubbard has managed to survive the offense, that'll be tough this week. He has the yardage to keep him as a high-end RB2 in my rankings this week.

I'll lead this conversation with I don't know if Patrick Surtain shadows anyone this week. He didn't shadow last week, and I could easily see him not following anyone this week. Tetairoa McMillan is the WR14 in fantasy points per game, but with Bryce Young struggling he hasn't managed more than 11.8 PPR points in each of the last two weeks. McMIllan has a 22.6% target share with 2.14 YPRR, six red zone targets, eight deep targets, and a 32.7% first-read share. McMillan could see solid volume this week, but I worry about his floor and ceiling against Denver in a game where I worry that we will see Young struggle again. Over the last five games, Denver has allowed the seventh-fewest yards per target and the fourth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers.

As I started my discussion about Tetairoa McMillan, I'll lead this conversation with I don't know if Patrick Surtain shadows anyone this week. He didn't shadow last week, and I could easily see him not following anyone this week. Jalen Coker is the WR24 in fantasy points per game. Over the last two games, with Bryce Young falling apart, Coker has had 1.9 and 9.6 PPR points, and that latter mark was fueled by one big play and a touchdown. Coker has a 17.2% target share with 1.98 YPRR, six red zone targets, ten deep targets, and a 25.8% first-read share. I have serious concerns that Young will struggle again this week which drastically lowers Coker's ceiling and floor against Denver. This is also a tough matchup for Coker. Over the last five games, Denver has allowed the seventh-fewest yards per target and the fourth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers.
