Fantasy Football Player Notes

Since Caleb Williams' return, Luther Burden has been the WR8 in fantasy points per game with a 20.4% target share, 4.32 YPRR, three red zone targets, a deep target, and a 28.6% first-read share. The only thing that has limited Burden from gaudier numbers is the fact that during that three-game span, he has had only a 56% route share. Burden just shredded Seattle's secondary, so I don't have a ton of concerns about his matchup this week. The Bucs have been quite good against slot receivers, though. Over their last five games, they have allowed the ninth-fewest yards per target to the position while ranking 18th in fantasy points per opportunity. Burden has the talent to overcome another rough-on-paper matchup this week.

Since Caleb Williams' return, Rome Odunze has been the WR43 in fantasy points per game with a 13.6% target share, 2.03 YPRR, one red zone target, four deep targets, and a 14.3% first-read share. Odunze has been squeezed for targets, with Colston Loveland operating as the alpha and Luther Burden as the number two option. Sit Odunze this week. Over their last five games, the Bucs have allowed the 12th-fewest yards per target and the sixth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers.
