Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 2 Half PPR Rankings

26.
David Montgomery
RB - (vs . CIN)
David Montgomery was a volume monster in Week 1 as the RB5 in fantasy. He finished with 23 touches, 79 total yards, and three scores. He played 57.5% of the snaps, handled all five of the team's red zone carries, had a 42.9% route share, and a 7.9% target share (three targets). Montgomery wasn't immensely efficient with his work, but some of this is on his offensive line. Among 33 qualifying backs in Week 1, Montgomery was 18th in success rate and missed tackle rate, but he had the tenth-fewest yards before contact per attempt. Montgomery could find more running room in Week 2 against a Cincy run defense that allowed the fifth-highest rushing success rate and yards after contact per attempt in Week 1 while also having the 11th-lowest stuff rate.

Dalton Schultz
TE - (vs . CIN)
Dalton Schultz had a predictable down week to open the season against the Bills as the TE19. Schultz was second on the team with a 21.1% target share and an 18.2% first-read share. Schultz turned that usage into four receptions and 35 receiving yards (1.13 YPRR). He didn't have any red zone, end zone, or deep targets in Week 1. Schultz could have a bounce-back performance in Week 2 against a defense that struggled last year to defend tight ends, giving up the third-most yards per target and the second-most fantasy points per opportunity to the position.

Nico Collins
WR - (vs . CIN)
The Texans-Bills game felt like the playoffs, yet it was only Week 1. These two teams duelled to the end in a game that could have gone either way. Even though the Bills' defense is not its strong suit, it was great to see C.J. Stroud lead this offense to 30 points. With Collins and Montgomery at the helm, this should be an improved unit each week. This week, they face the Bengals, whose defense stole the show in Week 1. Forcing four fumbles and returning one for a score, this was not the Bengals of old. Add in D.J. Turner locking down the perimeter, and Collins has a tougher matchup than expected. He is still a WR1; however, don't let this new Bengals team fool you into thinking it's a great matchup.

Kayshon Boutte
WR - (vs . CIN)
In Week 1, Kayshon Boutte had only a 64.3% route share, a 5.3% target share, and 21 receiving yards (0.78 YPRR) as he was the field stretcher (16.0 aDOT). This isn't the matchup to consider flexing Boutte, hoping that he converts a downfield target to fantasy goodness. Last year, Cincy allowed the fifth-lowest passer rating, the tenth-lowest passing success rate, and the tenth-lowest completion rate to deep passing.
