Fantasy Football Player Notes

Hubbard is the RB12 in fantasy points per game, but he didn't really take off until Andy Dalton got the starting gig. Since Dalton has been under center, Hubbard has been the RB5 in fantasy points per game, averaging 21.6 touches and 128.3 total yards per game. Overall, among 59 qualifying backs, Hubbard ranks 21st in explosive run rate and 16th in yards after contact per attempt. Hubbard should keep rolling along this week. Atlanta has allowed the fourth-highest missed tackle rate and rushing yards per game, the third-highest rushing success rate, and the seventh-highest zone rushing success rate (Hubbard 72% zone).

With Andy Dalton under center, Johnson has been reawakened as the WR11 in fantasy points per game with a 27.4% target share, a 46% air-yard share, 2.21 YPRR, and a 39.7% first-read share. Johnson should have a bounceback game this week after last week's letdown against a tough Chicago secondary. Atlanta has allowed the eighth-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Jonson is tied for the NFL lead in red zone targets. Johnson will run about 78% of his routes against A.J. Terrell (78.9% catch rate and 98.9 passer rating) and Mike Hughes (66.7% catch rate and 83.6 passer rating).

Legette sustained a shoulder injury in Week 5, but he opened this week with a full practice. In Week 4, Legette was a full-time player with a 24.4% target share, a 33.8% air-yard share, 1.89 YPRR, and a 31% first-read share. Atlanta has utilized single-high on 57.1% of their defensive snaps. Against single-high, Legette has a 19% TPRR, 2.00 YPRR, and a sexy 0.111 FD/RR. Atlanta has allowed the eighth-highest PPR points to perimeter wide receivers. Legette will run about 65% of his routes against A.J. Terrell (78.9% catch rate and 98.9 passer rating) and Mike Hughes (66.7% catch rate and 83.6 passer rating).
