Fantasy Football Player Notes

With Darnold under center, Moore has had a 29.9% target share, a 45.5% end zone target share, and a 57.3% air yard share. Since Week 12, Moore has been sixth in PFF receiving grade, fifth in yards per reception, and fourth in yards per route run (minimum ten targets). In that five-game span, he has four weeks with at least 73 receiving yards and six red zone targets (four touchdowns). Moore will run about 70% of his routes against Marshon Lattimore (55.6% catch rate, 57.6 passer rating) and Alontae Taylor (46.0% catch rate, 59.2 passer rating).

Last week was a down week in the Foreman rollercoaster saga. That means the train is due for one more exhilarating ride before returning to the station, right? As I've outlined in previous Primers, Foreman has been an all-or-nothing play. Since Week 8 (nine games), he has had four games with at least 21 carries and 113 rushing yards, but in four other games in this sample, he didn't reach 14 carries or 40 rushing yards. Foreman is 14th in yards after contact per attempt, 15th in breakaway rate, and 29th in PFF elusive rating (minimum 75 carries). Since Week 12, New Orleans has been 22nd in rushing success rate, 23rd in EPA per rush, and 19th in yards per carry allowed.

Tonyan has been a ghost for most of the season, with a 12.5% target share and only three TE1 weeks. Tonyan gets mentioned here because the matchup is mouthwatering. Detroit ranks 26th in fantasy points per game and 29th in catch rate allowed to tight ends. Detroit has surrendered the most touchdowns (11) to tight ends this season.
