Fantasy Football Player Notes

Last week, Swift retook his lead back role with a 60.9% snap share, a 51.2% route share, and a 22.2% target share. He led the way with two red zone rushing attempts, 18 touches, and 98 total yards. Swift is the RB11 in fantasy points per game, ranking 16th in opportunity share and 13th in red zone touches. Among 64 qualifying backs, Swift ranks 12th in explosive run rate and 23rd in missed tackle rate. Swift should have another strong week. Since Week 6, Minnesota has allowed the 12th-most rushing yards per game, the 12th-highest missed tackle rate, and ranked 16th in stuff rate.

After last week's strong game, Odunze is the WR15 in fantasy points per game, ranking first among wide receivers in deep targets and 17th in red zone targets. Odunze has a 22.4% target share with 62.1 receiving yards per game, 1.96 yards per route run, and a 26.6.% first-read share. This week, he faces a Minnesota pass defense that leads the NFL in two high rate (69.4%). Against two high, Odunze is third (tied) on the team with a 22% target per route run rate and 1.83 yards per route run. Against two high, he does lead the team with a 25.7% first-read share. Odunze should have another nice game this week against a secondary that, since Week 6, has allowed the most PPR points per target and the third-most receiving yards to perimeter wide receivers.

Last week, Kyle Monangai returned to being the 1B in the backfield with a 39.1% snap rate, a 34.1% route share, and a 2.8% target share. He did have one red zone rushing attempt, which he converted into a touchdown, finishing with seven touches and 28 total yards. Monangai is a touchdown-dependent flex play this week. Since Week 6, Minnesota has allowed the 12th-most rushing yards per game, the 12th-highest missed tackle rate, and ranked 16th in stuff rate.

D.J. Moore is the WR42 in fantasy points per game with three top-36 weekly finishes this season (WR29, WR31, WR4). Moore could post a wonderful stat line this week. He has had a 15.4% target share with 44.8 receiving yards per game, 1.50 yards per route run, and a 16.3% first-read share. Moore has seen four red zone targets and seven deep targets. This week, he faces a Minnesota pass defense that leads the NFL in two high rate (69.4%). Against two high, Moore's target share has jumped to 19% with 1.95 yards per route run with an 18.9% first-read share. Moore should excel this week against a secondary that, since Week 6, has allowed the most PPR points per target and the third-most receiving yards to perimeter wide receivers.

Last week, with Cole Kmet back in the lineup, Loveland led the way with a 51.2% route share, but he only had an 11.1% target share with 55 receiving yards and an 8.7% first-read share. With that type of usage, he's only a low-end steaming option this week. Loveland is tied for third on the team in red zone targets (four) while also seeing two deep targets. Minnesota has allowed the 12th-most receiving yards and the tenth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.
