Fantasy Football Player Notes

Quinshon Judkins is the RB21 in fantasy points per game now after seeing a bump in the passing game last week and getting into the end zone. Judkins has averaged 18.6 touches and 68 total yards. Judkins has a 36% route share this season with a 13.9% target share. Last week, his route share was still in line with this usage with a 36.1% mark, but he had a 21.9% target share. I don't expect that type of passing game usage to repeat, but I could easily be wrong. Judkins did see a 16.7% target share in Week 2, so maybe he does see somewhere in this area code of passing usage weekly moving forward. Judkins remains inefficient with his workload. Among 46 qualifying backs, he is 43rd in explosive run rate, 31st in yards after contact per attempt, and 21st in missed tackle rate. Much like with Braelon Allen, Judkins is seeing enough volume that it doesn't matter most weeks, especially when he gets in the end zone. Judkins should have another solid RB2 week. The Jets have allowed the seventh-highest rushing success rate, the sixth-most yards before contact per attempt, and the third-highest missed tackle rate.

Denzel Boston is the WR20 in fantasy points per game, while commanding an 18.3% target share with 2.39 YPRR, three red zone targets, seven deep targets, and a 22.5% first-read share (second on the team). Boston has excelled so far this season, ranking 17th in separation and YPRR while sitting at seventh in route win rate among 77 qualifying receivers. This week, he'll tangle with a Jets' secondary that has the fifth-highest two-high rate (62.2%). Against two-high, Boston leads the team with a 21% target-per-route run rate against two-high while logging 4.47 YPRR. This is a tougher matchup for Boston, but I think he can overcome it. The Jets have allowed the tenth-fewest yards per target to perimeter wide receivers while ranking 15th in fantasy points per opportunity allowed to the position.

Harold Fannin is the TE8 in fantasy points per game with at least 10.4 PPR points in each of his last three games. Fannin has a 78.4% route share with a 20% target share, 1.40 YPRR, three red zone targets, one deep target, and a 16.3% first-read share. Temper your expectations for Fannin this week. The Jets have limited tight ends to the 11th-fewest yards per target and the seventh-fewest fantasy points per opportunity.

KC Concepcion leads the team with a 22.6% target share and 30% first-read share despite being the WR65 in fantasy points per game. Concepcion has been the higher-volume, low aDOT (4.96) receiver for Todd Monken's offense. He has 1.24 YPRR, three red zone targets (tied for the team lead), and two deep targets. The Jets have the fifth-highest two-high rate (62.2%). Against two-high, Concepcion is fourth on the team in target per route run rate (17%) and has only 0.67 YPRR. This isn't a great matchup for Concepcion, as the Jets have limited slot receivers to the tenth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity while ranking 15th in yards per target allowed to the position.
