Fantasy Football Player Notes

Since Week 13, Gainwell has been the RB10 in fantasy points per game, averaging 12.8 touches and 85.3 total yards with a 49.1% snap rate, a 48.1% route share, and a 16.7% target share. Overall, among 54 qualifying backs, Gainwell is 15th in explosive run rate and eighth in missed tackle rate. Gainwell is a solid RB2 with RB1 upside again this week. Since Week 12, Cleveland has allowed the 14th-most rushing yards per game, the second-highest rushing touchdown rate, and the 14th-highest yards before contact per attempt.

Last week, Tampa Bay condensed its starting wide receiver room to only Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. Only Godwin and Evans had route shares above 73% last week. Godwin logged a 76.7% route share with a 23.1% target share, 30 receiving yards, 1.30 yards per route run, and a 33.3% first-read share. Godwin maintained his role in the slot, running 65.2% of his routes from the inside. Since Week 13, Godwin has had an 18.6% target share, 45.8 receiving yards per game, 1.69 yards per route run, and a 24% first-read share. In those four games, Godwin has had four red zone targets and one deep target with three top-36 weekly finishes (WR33, WR27, WR24). This week, he's a strong play again. Since Week 10, Miami has allowed the third-most PPR points per target and the second-most receiving yards per game to slot receivers.

Last week was nightmare fuel for Emeka Egbuka stakeholders as his route share dipped to 50% and he became the clear third option in the passing offense, who was splitting snaps with Jalen McMillan. To make matters worse McMIllan had a higher target share and first-read share than Egbuka. Last week, Egbuka had only a 7.7% target share and 5.6% first-read share. It's impossible to start Egbuka with any confidence this week. If his playing time bounces back this week, I could be massively wrong about him, but we have no assurances that WILL HAPPEN. Sit Egbuka this week. Since Week 10, Miami has allowed the 13th-most PPR points per target and ranked 18th in fantasy points versus perimeter wide receivers.
