Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 3 PPR Rankings

26.
Davante Adams
WR - (at DEN)
Davante Adams proved last week with his monster game that he still has plenty of gas left in the tank. I'll update his outlook on Friday. Puka Nacua's status will have a seismic impact on Adams outlook and usage and we need more info regarding Nacua's health before figuring out Adams' usage.

Kyren Williams
RB - (at DEN)
Kyren Williams is the RB14 in fantasy points per game, averaging 14 touches and 81 total yards. Williams has a 59% snap rate, 40.4% of the rushing attempts, a 54.8% route share, and an 8.5% target share. Williams has handled six of the eight running back red zone rushing attempts for the Rams. Among 43 qualifying backs, he ranks ninth in explosive run rate and 11th in missed tackle rate. Williams should have another nice outing in Week 3 against a run defense that has allowed the 13th-highest explosive run rate, the most yards after contact per attempt, and the highest missed tackle rate.

Blake Corum
RB - (at DEN)
Blake Corum's value is entirely based upon his rushing stats. He doesn't have a red zone carry through two games, but I expect that he'll start to work into that area of the field for the Rams eventually. Corum has averaged 11.5 touches and 73 total yards. Among 43 qualifying backs, he is second in explosive run rate and third-best in missed tackle rate. Corum is a strong flex play this week with a wonderful matchup. The Broncos have allowed the 13th-highest explosive run rate, the most yards after contact per attempt, and the highest missed tackle rate.

Terrance Ferguson
TE - (at DEN)
Last week, Terrance Ferguson exploded as the TE8 for the week. Yes, Puka Nacua was out, but that could easily be the case again this week. Through three quarters of last week's game, Ferguson was a full-time player (before the score got out of hand). In the first three quarters against the Giants, Ferguson had a 66.7% snap rate, a 71.4% route share, a 26.9% target share, 2.0 YPRR, and a 23.8% first-read share. I'll update Ferguson's outlook as we get more news about Nacua, but he could be a strong TE1 again this week. Denver has allowed the fourth-most yards per target and the 13th-most fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends.

Puka Nacua
WR - (at DEN)
Puka may have missed last week, but we now know that Matthew Stafford and Davante Adams haven't lost a step. In Puka's absence, Adams brought in eight catches for 195 yards and two scores against the Giants. This week, we hope that Puka will be back after suffering a groin injury last week. If he is available, it's not a great matchup against the Broncos. After getting embarrassed by the Chiefs, the Broncos defense stepped up and held the Jaguars to 13 points. The Rams will need Puka back as they are desperate for another receiving weapon with Patrick Surtain lining up against Davante Adams. If he is back, he remains a firm WR1. However, in a tough matchup and coming back from injury, expectations should be tempered.
