Fantasy Football Player Notes

Rhamondre Stevenson is the RB22 in fantasy points per game, averaging 13.9 touches and 69.8 total yards. Among 42 qualifying backs, Stevenson is 16th in missed tackle rate and 24th in yards after contact per attempt. Stevenson is a strong RB2 again this week. Over their last five games, Miami has allowed the 13th-highest explosive run rate, the eighth-most yards after contact per attempt, the seventh-highest gap yards per carry, and the sixth-highest gap rushing success rate (Stevenson: 68.8% gap).

Ok, let's start this off with A.J. Brown isn't fully healthy. I don't care what New England says. Brown doesn't pass the eye test. Since his return to the lineup, he has been the WR60 and WR35 in weekly scoring. In those two games, Brown had a 23.8% target share, 1.17 YPRR, three red zone targets, three deep targets, and a 39.5% first-read share. Maybe this is the breakout game, but I worry about that actually happening in Week 8. Over their last five games, Miami has allowed the eighth-most yards per target and the 11th-most fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers. Brown has a wide range of outcomes this week.

Since Week 4, Hunter Henry has been the TE9 in fantasy points per game. Since Week 4, Henry has had a 15.7% target share, 2.30 YPRR, four red zone targets, and a 14.8% first-read share. Henry could be a TE1 again this week as Miami has been unable to stop tight ends. Across their last five games, Miami has allowed the most yards per target and the most fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends.

Since Week 6, TreVeyon Henderson has continued to operate as Rhamondre Stevenson's change of pace with a 23.8% snap rate, 6.5 touches, and 31.5 total yards per game. Henderson is only a dart-throw flex with a good matchup. Henderson's rushing efficiency continues to be non-existent with only 1.79 yards after contact per attempt and a 12% missed tackle rate, but we know his home run speed is real. If he gets a crease, he can take any carry to the house. If you're flexing him this week, this is exactly what you're hoping for. Over their last five games, Miami has allowed the 13th-highest explosive run rate, the eighth-most yards after contact per attempt, the seventh-highest gap yards per carry, and the sixth-highest gap rushing success rate (Henderson: 65.4% gap).
