Fantasy Football Player Notes

Since assuming the starting job, Harvey has averaged 17.7 touches and 70.7 total yards with weekly finishes as the RB37, RB4, and RB2 in weekly scoring. Last week, he set season-highs with a 68.1% snap rate, a 48.8% route share, and a 15.8% target share. Since Week 11, Harvey has had a 10.7% target share with 24 receiving yards per game and 1.57 yards per route run. Since Week 11, among 45 qualifying backs, Harvey has ranked 32nd in explosive run rate, fifth in rushing success rate, and 15th in missed tackle rate. The Packers remain a hellacious defense to face for running backs. Harvey will need all of the volume and touchdown equity he can get his hands on this week. Since Week 10, Green Bay has allowed the 11th-lowest explosive run rate, the fourth-lowest missed tackle rate, and the tenth-fewest yards after contact per attempt.

Courtland Sutton is the WR23 in fantasy points per game with an 18.5% target share, 59.5 receiving yards per game, 1.89 yards per route run, and a 23.4% first-read share. Sutton is second on the team in red zone targets (ten) and deep targets (13). Sutton is headed for a down game this week. Since Week 12, Green Bay has utilized two high at the second-highest rate (69.5%). Against two high, Sutton's numbers have suffered with a 14% target share with 1.37 yards per route run and a 17.4% first-read share. Since Week 10, Green Bay has allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points per game and the 14th-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Sutton needs a touchdown to save his fantasy day in Week 15.

Last week, Troy Franklin's route share fell off the table to 39.5% and he had only a 10.5% target share. Franklin hasn't been an 80-85% route share receiver this season, but even in Week 13, when people were worried about his usage, he had a 68.8% route share, which has been pretty much his baseline this season. Franklin is off the flex radar this week after the dip in his playing time and the tough matchup this week. Since Week 12, Green Bay has utilized two high at the second-highest rate (69.5%). Against two high, Franklin's target share has only been 14.8% with 0.95 yards per route run. That's not good enough to justify blind faith and playing him this week. Since Week 10, Green Bay has allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points per game and the 14th-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
