Week 2 Half PPR Rankings

MarShawn Lloyd
RB - (at NYJ)
Last week, MarShawn Lloyd finished with a disappointing stat line with 13 carries and 37 rushing yards (zero receiving yards, one target). He played only 44.8% of the snaps while handling 61.9% of the team's designed carries. He had only a 15.2% route share and 2.4% target share. I hope his playing time increases this week, but it's not a sure thing as Chris Brooks could remain involved. Lloyd had only 1.38 yards after contact per attempt and zero missed tackles forced, but it's a one-game sample. I'm not freaking out about him after one game. Lloyd should find more running room this week against a run defense that in Week 1 allowed the 12th-highest explosive run rate, the fourth-highest rushing success rate, and the seventh-highest EPA per rush.

Matthew Golden
WR - (at NYJ)
Last week, Matthew Golden came out firing as the WR17 for the Week with a 26.2% target share, 95 receiving yards (2.38 YPRR), three red zone targets, one deep target, and a 30.3% first-read share. This week, he'll face a Jets' pass defense that utilized two high at the tenth-highest rate in Week 1 (59%). Last year, Golden was more utilized against two high, with his target-per-route run rate climbing from 14% (against single high) to 21% and his yards per route run increasing to 1.60 (1.34 vs. single high). He won't have an easy matchup, but it's one that he can possibly overcome. Last year, the Jets allowed the eighth-fewest yards per target to perimeter wide receivers while ranking 16th in fantasy points per target allowed to the position.

Tucker Kraft
TE - (at NYJ)
If you just watched Tucker Kraft, you never would have thought he was returning from a serious knee injury. Playing limited snaps, when he was given the ball, he flashed his elite yards-after-the-catch ability. Not many tight ends can have only three receptions, play 66% of snaps, and walk away with 65 yards. As Kraft gets further removed from his injury, his involvement should only continue to go up. This week they face the Jets, whose defense was not tested by the Titans. It's tough to know if this is a good matchup, but the Packers' new pass-first approach is a great sign for Kraft's fantasy production.

Jayden Reed
WR - (at NYJ)
Last week, Jayden Reed remained a part-time player for the Packers. Reed had a 55.2% snap rate and 63% route share. He had only a 16.7% target share, 20 receiving yards (0.69 YPRR), a 21.2% first-read share, one red zone target, and zero deep targets. With his limited playing time and standing as the fourth option in the passing attack, he'll remain volatile week-to-week for fantasy purposes. This is a decent week to look at him as a flex option, though. Depending on what your options are at the flex. Last year, the Jets allowed the sixth-most yards per target and the 13th-most fantasy points per target to slot receivers.
