Fantasy Football Player Notes

Week 9 Half PPR Rankings

Saquon Barkley Note
Saquon Barkley photo 1. Saquon Barkley RB - PHI (vs . JAC)
Saquon Barkley has continued to be a focal point of Philadelphia's offense since the team's Week 5 bye. He has had at least 20 opportunities (carries plus targets) in all three games. However, his fantasy results have been inconsistent. That is largely the product of Jalen Hurts vulturing five rushing scores in that span. Unfortunately, we as fantasy managers do not get to call the plays. All we can do is start the players who have a high likelihood of scoring, and Saquon Barkley remains at the top of that list. That should remain the case in a game the Eagles should dominate against a weak Jacksonville Jaguars defense. Barkley has as high a ceiling as any running back in the league this week.

Kyren Williams Note
Kyren Williams photo 2. Kyren Williams RB - LAR (at SEA)
Kyren Williams continues to be one of the safest bets for weekly production at the running back position. The Rams' running back has finished every week inside the top 20 and enters Week 9 as the overall RB3 on a per-game basis. This week's matchup with the Seattle Seahawks should provide Williams another opportunity to produce at a high level. Seattle has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. Keep Kyren Williams in the upper tier of RB1s this week.

Derrick Henry Note
Derrick Henry photo 3. Derrick Henry RB - BAL (vs . DEN)
Derrick Henry scored in an eighth straight game last week, though he fell a bit short of his lofty year-to-date fantasy scoring. This week the Ravens host the Denver Broncos. Denver has been an above-average run defense by most measures. Because of that, Henry may not have the upside that some of the other running backs inside the consensus top five possess this week. Having said that, Henry can go off on any defense at any time, so keep him entrenched as an RB1.
2 days ago
Bijan Robinson Note
Bijan Robinson photo 4. Bijan Robinson RB - ATL (vs . DAL)
Bijan Robinson has now eclipsed 20 fantasy points in three straight games. Each has resulted in a top-10 weekly finish. That outcome is certainly within reach this week when the Atlanta Falcons host the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas has given up the second-most fantasy points to opposing running backs and ranks 31st in DVOA against the run. Robinson has three or more receptions in seven of eight games this season, raising his weekly floor. He should be a solid RB1 in Week 9.
2 days ago
Alvin Kamara Note
Alvin Kamara photo 5. Alvin Kamara RB - NO (at CAR)
Alvin Kamara surpassed 100 scrimmage yards last week for the first time since Week 3. However, the lack of a touchdown prevented a top-12 weekly fantasy finish. Kamara has now gone four straight weeks without finishing inside the top 12. But a matchup with the Carolina Panthers could cure that for Kamara and his fantasy managers. The Panthers have allowed 15 touchdowns to opposing running backs this year. No other team has given up more than 11. With quarterback Derek Carr set to return, Kamara could return to his early-season form this week.

Justin Jefferson Note
Justin Jefferson photo 6. Justin Jefferson WR - MIN (vs . IND)
Justin Jefferson has been the polar opposite of a disappointment to fantasy managers this season. He enters Week 9 second overall among wide receivers in total fantasy points. He is fourth on a per-game basis among wideouts with at least four games played. But he has not had a weekly finish higher than WR5 and only has two top-10 finishes among his seven games played. Perhaps a Sunday night home date with the Indianapolis Colts can provide Jefferson with the spark to get him into the overall WR1 conversation. The Colts rank 26th in DVOA against the pass and could put up more of a fight on offense with Joe Flacco under center. Jefferson has one of the safest floors in all of fantasy football, and he will max out sooner or later. He remains an elite WR1 in all formats.
2 days ago
Joe Mixon Note
Joe Mixon photo 7. Joe Mixon RB - HOU (at NYJ)
Five games played, four games inside the top-six for Houston Texans' running back Joe Mixon. Mixon has handled at least 27 touches in three of his five games this season. On one hand, that volume seems unsustainable. But with Nico Collins still on Injured Reserve and Stefon Diggs out for the season, Mixon should continue to be heavily involved. A game on the road on a short week is not ideal, but a matchup with the New York Jets is a bit softer than may be perceived. New York has been a below-average run defense this season. Mixon is a volume-based RB1 on Thursday night in Week 9.
2 days ago
CeeDee Lamb Note
CeeDee Lamb photo 8. CeeDee Lamb WR - DAL (at ATL)
Though I alluded to it last week, I cannot say for sure that CeeDee Lamb will repeat this year what he did last season from Week 8 on. But he flashed some of that upside last week despite Dallas losing to the San Francisco 49ers. Lamb hauled in 13 catches for 146 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. Lamb should have the opportunity to build on that performance in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta has been a bottom-10 pass defense in most metrics, including ranking 26th in DVOA versus number-one receivers. It is safe to say Lamb qualifies considering he has 48.2 percent of all yardage accrued by Cowboys wide receivers this year. Lamb is a locked and loaded overall WR1 candidate this week.
2 days ago
Kenneth Walker III Note
Kenneth Walker III photo 9. Kenneth Walker III RB - SEA (vs . LAR)
Kenneth Walker III has been a victim of negative gamescript on more than one occasion in recent weeks. He carried the ball just nine times for 12 yards in a blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills. It is the second time in the last four games that Walker III was been held below 20 rushing yards on fewer than 10 carries. The expectation this week is that Walker III will be more involved. Seattle is a slight underdog, but they should remain competitive against the Los Angeles Rams. Los Angeles also has a poor run defense, which could benefit Walker III. Kenneth Walker has a wide range of outcomes but should justify his starting spot in fantasy lineups in Week 9.
2 days ago
Breece Hall Note
Breece Hall photo 10. Breece Hall RB - NYJ (vs . HOU)
Just when it looked like Breece Hall was back on track, he catches one pass and goes for 89 scoreless yards against a poor New England Patriots run defense. A matchup with the Houston Texans on a short week is a tough one for Hall on paper. The Texans rank fourth in the NFL in DVOA against the run. They are also third in limiting running backs as receivers out of the backfield. I do not think you can justify benching Breece Hall this week. But this feels like a week where he is closer to a fringe RB1 in 12-team leagues as opposed to an easy top-10 back.
2 days ago
Ja'Marr Chase Note
Ja'Marr Chase photo 11. Ja'Marr Chase WR - CIN (vs . LV)
Ja'Marr Chase remains fantasy's top-scoring wide receiver on the season after scoring for the seventh time in six games last week. This week he and the Cincinnati Bengals face the Las Vegas Raiders. This feels like a game where Chase will not be asked to put on the Superman cape. The Bengals should be able to dispatch the Raiders without a ton of downfield pass attempts. Chase can score from anywhere on the field, which is why he is still a WR1 this week. However, the volume is likely to be less than other wide receivers in this range, even if Tee Higgins remains sidelined.
2 days ago
Jahmyr Gibbs Note
Jahmyr Gibbs photo 12. Jahmyr Gibbs RB - DET (at GB)
After taking his second carry 70 yards to the house last week, Jahmyr Gibbs was relatively quiet afterward. But that explosive run was enough to vault him into the top 10 for the week. The Detroit Lions have averaged 43 points over their last four games and almost look to be toying with opposing defenses at times. Gibbs is one of several Lions skill players who have been in on the fun. Even though Gibbs splits touches with David Montgomery and faces an above-average Green Bay Packer defense this week, there is no reason to get cute and consider benching Gibbs this week. Treat him like a low-end RB1 who has the capability and the all-around game to post top-five numbers if everything breaks right.

De'Von Achane Note
De'Von Achane photo 13. De'Von Achane RB - MIA (at BUF)
The biggest beneficiary from last week's return of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was not Tyreek Hill or Jaylen Waddle. It was running back De'Von Achane. Achane totaled 23.4 Half-PPR points in four games without Miami's starting quarterback and scored 23.7 last week. Buffalo's defense has been a top-10 unit against the run this year, but Achane gashed them for 165 scrimmage yards and a score back in Week 2. Even if Achane does not approach that level of production this week, he should be a reliable fantasy starter.
2 days ago
A.J. Brown Note
A.J. Brown photo 14. A.J. Brown WR - PHI (vs . JAC)
A.J. Brown "only" had five catches for 84 yards last week in an easy victory versus the Cincinnati Bengals. Sarcasm aside, last week's game exhibits the massive difference that scoring a touchdown can make. Last week, Brown was the overall WR35. The week prior, he finished as the WR7 after catching five passes for 89 yards. The difference was a touchdown catch in Week 7 versus no touchdown last week. Brown is likely to find the end zone this week against a Jacksonville Jaguars squad that ranks dead last in the NFL in DVOA and EPA versus the pass. Much like Ja'Marr Chase, Brown is an efficiency-based WR1 as opposed to having to rely on an abundance of volume.
2 days ago
Aaron Jones Note
Aaron Jones photo 15. Aaron Jones RB - MIN (vs . IND)
Jonathan Taylor Note
Jonathan Taylor photo 16. Jonathan Taylor RB - IND (at MIN)
Jonathan Taylor returned from a three-week absence last week and stepped right back into the bell-cow role in the Colts' rushing attack. Taylor carried the ball 20 times for 105 yards against a good Houston Texans run defense. That type of volume will always keep Taylor in the RB1 conversation, but Taylor gets another tough matchup this week against Minnesota. The switch to Joe Flacco at quarterback should force the Vikings to respect the Colts' pass game, which could open up some running lanes for Taylor. Jonathan Taylor profiles as a low-end RB1 in this matchup.
2 days ago
James Cook Note
James Cook photo 17. James Cook RB - BUF (vs . MIA)
James Cook led all running backs in fantasy points last week on the strength of a 133-yard, two-touchdown performance in Buffalo's win in Seattle. Consistency has not been Cook's strong suit from a fantasy perspective. Cook has played seven games this season. He has placed in the top six three times, and placed outside the top 20 three times. Cook's Week 9 matchup with the Miami Dolphins should benefit him. Miami has allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks while ranking 28th in DVOA against the run. Cook has a relatively low floor, but he has top-10 potential in this matchup.
2 days ago
Amon-Ra St. Brown Note
Amon-Ra St. Brown photo 18. Amon-Ra St. Brown WR - DET (at GB)
Amon-Ra St. Brown pulled off quite a feat last week. He caught a touchdown and yet still finished as the overall WR48 in Half-PPR scoring. That is what a 2-7-1 line will get you. With how Detroit is keeping everyone involved, we are just not seeing the same volume consistently from St. Brown that we have been accustomed to in recent years. And yet, his upside is still elite, as evidenced by his overall WR1 outing in Week 7. Fantasy managers should continue to trust St. Brown despite his volume being a bit more inconsistent than usual.
2 days ago
Tyreek Hill Note
Tyreek Hill photo 19. Tyreek Hill WR - MIA (at BUF)
The good news is that the return of Tua Tagovailoa enabled Tyreek Hill to post his first double-digit fantasy scoring effort since Week 1. The bad news is that it still was not enough for him to post even WR3 production in 12-team leagues. Hill's weekly upside with Tagovailoa on the field is enough to treat him as an every-week starter. However, his Week 9 matchup is not conducive to a true breakout game. Buffalo has allowed the fifth-fewest points to opposing wide receivers this season. They also rank inside the top 10 in DVOA versus the pass. Hill profiles as a volatile WR1 based on this matchup.
2 days ago
D'Andre Swift Note
D'Andre Swift photo 20. D'Andre Swift RB - CHI (at ARI)
Malik Nabers Note
Malik Nabers photo 21. Malik Nabers WR - NYG (vs . WAS)
Malik Nabers has failed to crack the top 36 in two straight games since returning from a concussion. The issue has been the inability to connect with Daniel Jones down the field. Nabers has only been able to haul in 11 out of 21 targets over the last two games. And none of his 11 receptions have gone for longer than 16 yards. The sheer volume Nabers receives on a weekly basis will keep him in the WR1 group, but fantasy managers will have to hope that the efficiency improves.
2 days ago
Kareem Hunt Note
Kareem Hunt photo 22. Kareem Hunt RB - KC (vs . TB)
Hunt has been a top 24 back in each of his three full starts as "the guy" for Kansas City (RB5, RB11, RB23). He has averaged 24.6 touches with only 81 total yards. Volume has been king for Hunt, while efficiency has been harder to come by. Among 43 qualifying backs, he ranks 28th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 34th in yards after contact per attempt. He still hasn't managed one explosive run with his 84 rushing attempts. Hunt has another good matchup on the ground this week to rack up volume against. The Bucs have allowed the highest explosive run rate, the 13th-most rushing yards per game, and the 11th-highest missed tackle rate.
1 day ago
Drake London Note
Drake London photo 23. Drake London WR - ATL (vs . DAL)
Last week was just one of those weeks from a fantasy perspective for Falcons wide receiver Drake London. Quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 276 and four touchdowns. Yet London could only muster four catches for 34 scoreless yards. Fantasy managers will be expecting some positive regression out of London in Week 9 when Atlanta hosts the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas is a bottom-five defense against both the run and the pass, so Cousins will have options. And he has not shied away from getting others involved. London has only once in eight games exceeded six catches or 74 receiving yards. That makes London's floor a little lower than some other wide receivers in this range. Still, the talent and matchup are enough to trust London in Week 9.
2 days ago
Puka Nacua Note
Puka Nacua photo 24. Puka Nacua WR - LAR (at SEA)
Puka Nacua surprised many by returning to action last week for the first time since Week 1. Nacua looked like he hadn't missed a beat. He caught seven of nine targets for 106 yards and added two carries. With Nacua and fellow Rams wideout Cooper Kupp back in the mix, fantasy managers should view them as they had at the beginning of the season. That means both are firmly in the mix to be weekly WR1s more often than not.
2 days ago
James Conner Note
James Conner photo 25. James Conner RB - ARI (vs . CHI)
Josh Jacobs Note
Josh Jacobs photo 26. Josh Jacobs RB - GB (vs . DET)
Jacobs has been a volume monster as the RB18 in fantasy points per game. He ranks 13th in snap share, fourth in weighted opportunities, first in carries and tenth in red zone touches among backs. He has averaged 20.2 touches and 97.8 total yards. Among 43 qualifying backs, he ranks 17th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 14th in yards after contact per attempt. Jacobs will have a tough time this week against a stout Detroit Lions run defense that has shut down zone runs. Since Week 5, 62.2% of his Jacobs runs have been with zone concepts. The Lions have allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game, the seventh-lowest yards after contact per attempt, the lowest yards per carry, and success rate to zone runs.
1 day ago
Cooper Kupp Note
Cooper Kupp photo 27. Cooper Kupp WR - LAR (at SEA)
Cooper Kupp returned to action last week after being out since Week 2 with an ankle injury. Kupp caught a touchdown as part of a five-catch, 51-yard performance. However, he was upstaged by Puka Nacua to a degree. With their offense now looking whole again, the Rams can keep Kupp, Nacua, and running back Kyren Williams among the elite fantasy options at their respective positions. That means Kupp and Nacua are likely top-15 or so weekly options in all formats, especially those that incorporate scoring for receptions. That should remain the case this week versus a Seattle Seahawks defense that performs more poorly in zone coverage. Both recently returned Rams receivers should be able to find holes in Seattle's defense on Sunday.
2 days ago
David Montgomery Note
David Montgomery photo 28. David Montgomery RB - DET (at GB)
Montgomery keeps trucking as the RB11 in fantasy points per game, ranking 20th in carries and tenth in red zone touches. He has averaged 15.3 touches and 79 total yards per game. Montgomery ranks 20th in explosive run rates and 19th in missed tackles forced per attempt. He will have to deal with an improved Packers run defense this week. Green Bay has allowed the tenth-lowest rushing yards per game, the 11th-lowest missed tackle rate, and the 12th-lowest yards after contact per attempt.
1 day ago
Chase Brown Note
Chase Brown photo 29. Chase Brown RB - CIN (vs . LV)
Brown has been the leader of the Bengals' backfield since Week 6, averaging a 56% snap rate overall while handling 74% of the rushing play snaps, 46% of the passing downs, and 79% of the red zone snaps. He has averaged 14.3 touches and 50.3 total yards during this span. Among 43 qualifying backs, Brown ranks 13th in explosive run rate, seventh in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 23rd in yards after contact per attempt. Brown should post a big game this week against a suspect Raiders run defense. Las Vegas has allowed the fourth-highest missed tackle rate, the seventh-highest yards after contact per attempt, the sixth-highest yards per carry-to-zone runs, and the ninth-highest zone success rate (Brown 55.1% zone).
1 day ago
Brian Robinson Jr. Note
Brian Robinson Jr. photo 30. Brian Robinson Jr. RB - WAS (at NYG)
Robinson Jr. saw his snap rate increase last week (47%), which hopefully means he is getting healthier, and we can see him sniff the 60% snap range he was seeing earlier this season. Robinson Jr. is the RB22 in fantasy points per game, ranking 18th in carries and tenth in red zone touches. He should crush this week against the Giants' pitiful run defense. Robinson has averaged 15.7 touches and 77.2 total yards. He ravaged this defense in Week 2 with 133 rushing yards. Among 43 qualifying backs, he is 15th in explosive run rate and 20th in missed tackles forced per attempt. New York has allowed the highest missed tackle rate, the sixth-most rushing yards per game, and the third-highest explosive run rate.
1 day ago
Tony Pollard Note
Tony Pollard photo 31. Tony Pollard RB - TEN (vs . NE)
Pollard is the RB20 in fantasy points per game, ranking sixth in snap share, 11th in opportunity share, and seventh in weighted opportunities. He has averaged 19.3 touches and 86.2 total yards per game. Among 43 qualifying backs, he ranks 23rd in explosive run rate and eighth in yards after contact per attempt. He faces a New England run defense that he should slash this week. The Patriots have allowed the 11th-highest rushing yards per game, the fourth-highest yards after contact per attempt, the eighth-highest yards per carry-to-gap runs, and the 13th-highest success rate to gap runs (Pollard 63.2% gap).
1 day ago
Terry McLaurin Note
Terry McLaurin photo 32. Terry McLaurin WR - WAS (at NYG)
Terry McLaurin has methodically moved his way up the ladder among fantasy wide receivers following a slow start to the season. McLaurin has finished no worse than WR27 in his last six games and has been a top-20 fantasy wideout in five of those six outings. This week McLaurin gets a New York Giants defense which has performed at average levels across the board. New York did limit McLaurin to 22 receiving yards in Week 2. But that was before the longtime Commanders wide receiver solidified his connection with standout rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. I would be willing to bet that McLaurin has a much better game against the Giants this time around.
2 days ago
Garrett Wilson Note
Garrett Wilson photo 33. Garrett Wilson WR - NYJ (vs . HOU)
Garrett Wilson is shaping up to be this season's "Volume is King in Fantasy Football" flagbearer. Wilson enters Week 9 as the overall WR9 in total points despite finishing inside the top 18 just twice in eight games. Wilson has remained the top target of Aaron Rodgers even after the acquisition of Davante Adams. Time will tell if that holds over the next two months. For now, however, Wilson should at least continue to post starter-worthy numbers in most weeks. This week's matchup versus the Houston Texans has been difficult on wide receivers, however. I would lower expectations for Garrett Wilson a bit this week.
2 days ago
J.K. Dobbins Note
J.K. Dobbins photo 34. J.K. Dobbins RB - LAC (at CLE)
Dobbins is the RB17 in fantasy points per game, averaging 18.7 touches and 88.8 total yards. He is 14th in snap share, 19th in opportunity share, and 18th in weighted opportunities. Since Week 3, his tackle-breaking numbers have really taken a tumble. Among 60 qualifying backs in that span, he has logged the eighth-highest stuff rate while ranking 46th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 49th in yards after contact per attempt. As the volume has piled up, Dobbins has looked more like the back I thought we would see in 2024. I hope that he can reverse these numbers as we move through the season, but I'm not overly bullish that he will. We'll see if Dobbins can take advantage of a slightly above-average matchup against the Browns' run defense this week. Cleveland ranks 18th in yards before contact per attempt while giving up the fourth-highest explosive run rate and the tenth-highest missed tackle rate.
1 day ago
Chuba Hubbard Note
Chuba Hubbard photo 35. Chuba Hubbard RB - CAR (vs . NO)
Hubbard is the RB19 in fantasy points per game, averaging 17.8 touches and 87.6 total yards. He ranks tenth in snap share, 15th in opportunity share, and 17th in red zone touches. He could see his snaps cut into more this week by not only Miles Sanders but Jonathon Brooks if he is active. Among 43 qualifying backs, he is 16th in explosive run rate and 26th in yards after contact per attempt. Hubbard should have a solid day against a Saints' run defense that has allowed the 12th-highest explosive run rate, the fifth-most rushing yards per game, the fourth-highest yards per carry to zone runs, and the eighth-highest success rate to zone runs (Hubbard 66.1% zone).
1 day ago
Chris Olave Note
Chris Olave photo 36. Chris Olave WR - NO (at CAR)
In his first game back without Rashid Shaheed in the lineup, Olave was an absolute target hog with a 31% target share, a 57.9% air-yard share, 2.43 YPRR, and a 40.6% first read share. Olave should flirt with these amazing numbers weekly with Shaheed out. Among 98 qualifying wide receivers, Olave is 23rd in separation and 30th in route win rate. He should destroy the Carolina secondary team this week, which has allowed the second-most fantasy points per game and the fourth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
1 day ago
DeVonta Smith Note
DeVonta Smith photo 37. DeVonta Smith WR - PHI (vs . JAC)
Rhamondre Stevenson Note
Rhamondre Stevenson photo 38. Rhamondre Stevenson RB - NE (at TEN)
Stevenson is the RB23 in fantasy points per game, ranking 17th in snap share, 18th in weighted opportunities, and tenth in red zone touches. He has averaged 17.5 touches and 69 total yards. He was back to a workhorse-level workload last week with an 81% snap share. Among 43 qualifying backs, he ranks 13th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 12th in yards after contact per attempt. This will be another tough matchup for Stevenson this week. Tennessee has given up the ninth-lowest missed tackle rate, the fourth-lowest yards after contact per attempt, the fifth-lowest yards per carry to gap runs, and the ninth-lowest success rate to gap runs (Stevenson 58.7% gap).
1 day ago
Davante Adams Note
Davante Adams photo 39. Davante Adams WR - NYJ (vs . HOU)
After two games, Adams hasn't been the game-changing acquisition that the Jets thought they were making. He has averaged 42 receiving yards and 7.7 fantasy points per game. Adams has drawn a 17.9% target share, a 19.7% air-yard share, and a 22.5% first-read share with 1.31 YPRR. He has only one red-zone target and zero end-zone looks. Adams will look to bounce back in a middle-of-the-road matchup with Houston. The Texans are 16th in fantasy points per game and 17th in receiving yards per game allowed to perimeter wide receivers.
1 day ago
DJ Moore Note
DJ Moore photo 40. DJ Moore WR - CHI (at ARI)
Moore is the WR30 in fantasy points per game, ranking 13th in deep targets and seventh in red zone targets among wide receivers. He has seen a 22.9% target share, a 30.3% air-yard share, and a 27.7% first-read share while producing 48.7 receiving yards per game and 1.44 YPRR. In Week 8, it was very interesting that he was third on the team in target share (16.7%) and was second in first-read share (23.1%). We'll see if he reclaims his top spot in the pecking order in Week 9 or if this is the beginning of a trend. Arizona has been giving to perimeter wide receivers, allowing the fifth-highest PPR points per target and the fourth-highest passer rating when targeted.
1 day ago
Travis Kelce Note
Travis Kelce photo 41. Travis Kelce TE - KC (vs . TB)
Travis Kelce finally caught his first touchdown pass of the 2024 season last week. What is more encouraging is that it was the third game in his last four in which Kelce had at least seven receptions and at least 70 receiving yards. That volume should keep Kelce in the mix for overall TE1 honors again this week. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been decimated by tight ends in recent weeks. They have allowed six different tight ends to accumulate more than 40 yards in their last five games. Tampa Bay has also given up multi-touchdown performances to opposing tight ends in each of their last two games. Travis Kelce is set up for another huge game in Week 9 and will want to show out in front of big brother Jason on Monday night.
2 days ago
Jayden Reed Note
Jayden Reed photo 42. Jayden Reed WR - GB (vs . DET)
Reed has been quiet in recent weeks. He hasn't had more than 55 receiving yards in any game since Week 5. That could change this week. Reed is the WR18 in fantasy points per game. He has seven deep targets but only two red zone targets over his last four games. Reed has a 17.1% target share, 2.68 YPRR, and a 21.1% first-read share. I expect the Lions to utilize single-high heavily this week against Green Bay. In their two meetings last year, they utilized it with 59.9% of their defense snaps. This season overall, they have utilized single high with 55.6% of their defensive snaps. They had a brief dalliance with two high in Weeks 3-5, but they have utilized single high on at least 60.8% of their snaps in their four other games this season. Against single high, Reed has ranked third on the team in TPRR (20%) with 2.65 YPRR (second-best) and an 18.4% first-read share (second-best). Detroit has been victimized by slot receivers all year, allowing the most fantasy points per game and receiving yards per game to the position.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Note
Marvin Harrison Jr. photo 43. Marvin Harrison Jr. WR - ARI (vs . CHI)
Harrison Jr. popped up with a big game in Week 8, pulling up his season-long ranking to WR31 in fantasy points per game. That game was encouraging, as is his ranking of 13th in deep targets among wide receivers, but Harrison Jr. still only has four red zone targets this season. He hasn't seen a look inside the 20-yard line from Kyler Murray since Week 4. I've discussed his coverage splits weekly, so people shouldn't be surprised with this information. It could be another big week for Harrison Jr. against a Bears' secondary that has the fifth-highest rate of single high (59.8%). Against single high, Harrison Jr. has had a 25.5% target share, a 40.3% air-yard share, 2.92 YPRR, and a 28.9% first-read share. Chicago started the year hot but has since regressed into a middle-of-the-road matchup for perimeter wide receivers, ranking 16th in receiving yards per game and 19th in fantasy points per game allowed. The Bears have also recently had issues defending the deep ball. Since Week 4, they have allowed the 13th-highest adjusted completion rate, the 12th-highest passer rating, and the 11th-most passing yards per game to deep passing. Harrison leads the team in deep targets.

Brock Bowers Note
Brock Bowers photo 44. Brock Bowers TE - LV (at CIN)
It felt like Brock Bowers was the only elite tight end not to bust out on National Tight Ends Day this past Sunday. Bowers was not awful by any stretch. He caught all five of his targets for 58 yards. But he failed to score a touchdown, which has been the rookie's Achilles' Heel early in his career. Bowers will hope to turn that around against a Cincinnati defense that has given up four touchdowns to tight ends on the year. Only two NFL teams have allowed more. Even if Bowers does not score, he will be an elite fantasy option in this matchup.
2 days ago
Josh Downs Note
Josh Downs photo 45. Josh Downs WR - IND (at MIN)
Downs has been playing out of his mind this season as the WR20 in fantasy points per game while seeing seven red zone targets in his six games played. He's been a top 20 wide receiver in weekly scoring in four of six games. In Flacco's two starts, Downs has had a 25.3% target share, 2.14 YPRR, and a 31.7% first-read share. All of these metrics are elite. Minnesota has been gashed by slot receivers this season and will be again in Week 9 by Downs. The Vikings have allowed the third-highest fantasy points per game and the sixth-highest receiving yards per game to the position.
1 day ago
Zay Flowers Note
Zay Flowers photo 46. Zay Flowers WR - BAL (vs . DEN)
Flowers is the WR26 in fantasy points per game, ranking 20th in deep targets among wide receivers. He has not seen a red zone target since Week 2, so his chances of scoring a touchdown weekly are slim. We'll see how much he is impacted by the addition of Diontae Johnson moving forward, but I'm more worried about him receiving shadow coverage from Patrick Surtain this week. Surtain hasn't shadowed since Week 4, but that doesn't mean he won't this week, especially considering how consolidated the Ravens target tree is. Surtain followed D.K. Metcalf, Mike Evans, George Pickens, and Garrett Wilson on 60.4%-95.8% of their routes. None of them surpassed 30 receiving yards in his primary coverage. Flowers has had a 25.3% target share, a 30.1% air-yard share, 2.21 YPRR, and a 30.4% first-read share. These market shares will be dented moving forward once Johnson is up to speed, but again, the bigger worry for his Week 9 outlook is Surtain. Denver has allowed the tenth-lowest fantasy points per game and the sixth-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Nick Chubb Note
Nick Chubb photo 47. Nick Chubb RB - CLE (vs . LAC)
Last week, Chubb saw a big uptick in his workload with 59% of the snaps, 16 carries, and 52 rushing yards. He played 74% of the snaps on rushing plays, saw a 54% snapshare on passing downs, and handled 57% of the red zone snaps. His efficiency numbers still didn't look great, but they also trended up with a 6.3% explosive run rate, a 13% missed tackle rate, and 2.25 yards after contact per attempt. I also have to mention that Baltimore has been a top-five run defense, so it's not like Chubb posted these numbers in a wonderful matchup. The Bolts are a slightly above-average matchup for Chubb this week. They have allowed the 11th-highest yards after contact per attempt, the 12th-highest yards per carry-to-zone runs, and the 13th-highest rushing success rate to zone runs (Chubb 51.9% zone).

Darnell Mooney Note
Darnell Mooney photo 48. Darnell Mooney WR - ATL (vs . DAL)
Mooney has turned out to be one of the best late-round picks you could have made in drafts this offseason. He is the WR21 in fantasy points per game with five top 36 fantasy scoring weeks among wide receivers (WR18, WR10, WR27, WR3, WR32). He has seen four red zone targets over the last four games and overall ranks tenth in deep targets among wide receivers. Mooney has a 20.5% target share, a 35.5% air-yard share, 1.92 YPRR, and a 27.2% first-read share. Since Week 2, Dallas has had the fourth-highest single-high rate in the NFL (61.4%). Against single high, Mooney has seen his target share fall to 16.9% with 0.95 YPRR and a 22.3% first-read share. While I don't project a huge day for Mooney this week, it only takes one converted deep target for him to prove me wrong, and the Dallas secondary has bled out production to wide receivers. Dallas has allowed the 14th-highest fantasy points per game and the ninth-highest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Alexander Mattison Note
Alexander Mattison photo 49. Alexander Mattison RB - LV (at CIN)
Since Week 5, Mattison has been the workhorse for Las Vegas, playing at least 57% of the snaps weekly, averaging 20.3 touches and 73.3 total yards. During this stretch he has been the RB29 in fantasy points per game. Mattison remains a volume bet only weekly because we're not getting efficiency here. Among 43 qualifying backs, he ranks 34th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 38th in yards after contact per attempt. This is a great matchup on the ground for Mattison this week, where his volume could carry him a bit further. Cincy has allowed the ninth-most rushing yards per game, the third-highest zone success rate (Mattison 62.7% zone), and the highest rushing success rate. We've seen Mattison pile up the volume and finish with a nice day (RB19 vs. LAR), and it easily could happen again this week.

Tank Dell Note
Tank Dell photo 50. Tank Dell WR - HOU (at NYJ)
In the three games Dell has played without Nico Collins, he has finished as a top 30 wide receiver in weekly scoring twice (WR16, WR29). Since Week 6, he has had an 18.9% target share, a 26.3% air-yard share, 1.10 YPRR, and a 28% first-read share. The explosive plays just haven't been there for Dell so far. Since Week 7, the Jets have ranked seventh in single-high rate (60.5%). Over the last three games, against single high, Dell has seen his numbers increase with a 22.6% target share, 1.56 YPRR, and a 31.3% first-read share. This will help Dell in a tough matchup this week. The Jets have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game and the seventh-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Ladd McConkey Note
Ladd McConkey photo 51. Ladd McConkey WR - LAC (at CLE)
McConkey has pulled his season-long status up to WR25 in fantasy points per game after last week's blow-up game. He has four weeks this season as a top-36 fantasy wide receiver. He has drawn four deep targets and six red zone looks (28th among wideouts). McConkey has a 22.2% target share with 2.14 YPRR and a 27% first-read share. Cleveland still has the highest single high rate in the NFL (69.5%). Against single high, McConkey has had a 23.7% target share with 2.85 YPRR and a whopping 29.7% first-read share. McConkey should get peppered again this week, but the matchup isn't as juicy as last week. Cleveland has allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points per target and ranks 18th in receiving yards per game allowed to slot receivers.

Trey McBride Note
Trey McBride photo 52. Trey McBride TE - ARI (vs . CHI)
Trey McBride continues to flash efficiency that is virtually unmatched at the tight end position. The Cardinals tight end has now hauled in 75 percent of his targets and has three top-five weeks on his ledger. It will be interesting to see if he can add another in Week 9. The Chicago Bears have one of the best pass defenses in the NFL. However, they are about league average in terms of limiting tight end production. McBride is another tight end who has been elite despite a lack of touchdowns. That is one trend that fantasy managers would like to see reversed this week.

Calvin Ridley Note
Calvin Ridley photo 53. Calvin Ridley WR - TEN (vs . NE)
Ridley is the WR49 in fantasy points per game, ranking seventh in deep targets. After this blowup game last week, he is the WR49 in fantasy points per game. That was only his second game of the season with more than 55 receiving yards. Ridley has commanded a 22.3% target share, a 47% air-yard share, and a 28.3% first-read share with 1.64 YPRR. Ridley is likely to see shadow coverage from Christian Gonzalez this week. Gonzalez has followed Ja'Marr Chase, Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams, D.K. Metcalf, and Tyreek Hill on 77.8-90% of their routes. Only Metcalf surpassed 60 receiving yards in his primary coverage, and only Wilson and Metcalf got in the end zone. Fade Ridley this week and sit him.
1 day ago
Jaylen Waddle Note
Jaylen Waddle photo 54. Jaylen Waddle WR - MIA (at BUF)
In Waddle's two full games with Tagovailoa under center, Waddle has only seen a 14.7% target share, a 29% air-yard share, and a 19.3% first-read share despite producing 0.130 FD/RR and 2.85 YPRR. Waddle remains a highly efficient player, but the Miami passing attack still flows heavily through Tyreek Hill. In those two games, Waddle hasn't seen a red zone target. Without volume to feed his talent, Waddle remains a WR3 with a wide range of weekly outcomes. Buffalo has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game and the fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
1 day ago
Tank Bigsby Note
Tank Bigsby photo 55. Tank Bigsby RB - JAC (at PHI)
Bigsby has operated as the team's workhorse over the last two weeks with at least 66% of the snaps while averaging 23 touches and 102 total yards. Bigsby could retain this role even if Etienne returns this week. While his snap share could drop to nearly 50% if Etienne is back, I do think Bigsby holds onto the lion's share of the early down work. Bigsby ranks fifth in explosive run rate, 16th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and first in yards after contact per attempt. Bigsby will need every ounce of efficiency this week against a tough Eagles run defense. Philly has allowed the seventh-lowest missed tackle rate, the eighth-lowest yards after contact per attempt, and the 11th-lowest gap success rate (Bigsby 50.4% gap).
1 day ago
Amari Cooper Note
Amari Cooper photo 56. Amari Cooper WR - BUF (vs . MIA)
In Week 8, Cooper saw his route share increase to 62.2%, but the production didn't follow, with only a 5.9% target share and a 9.5% first-read share. It's obvious Cooper is still working his way into this offense. That makes his weekly outlook and role volatile until we get that "ok, now he's cooking" game, which is eventually coming. Over the last two weeks, Cooper has had a 10.4% target share, 1.97 YPRR, and a 15.2% first-read share. This makes Cooper a volatile WR3/flex moving forward until he is fully up to speed with Josh Allen and the playbook. Miami has allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game and receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
1 day ago
David Njoku Note
David Njoku photo 57. David Njoku TE - CLE (vs . LAC)
David Njoku is tied for third among tight ends in total fantasy points over the last two weeks as the Cleveland Browns navigate life without Deshaun Watson and Amari Cooper. Quarterback Jameis Winston has targeted his tight end often, resulting in Njoku's recent hot streak. The volume does not figure to end anytime soon given the relative lack of pass catchers that the Browns have. This may not be the best matchup for Njoku, however. The Los Angeles Chargers rank in the top 10 in passing defense and against tight ends based on DVOA. Njoku's volume should keep him afloat as a TE1 in 12-team leagues, but the touchdown upside is less than it has been in recent weeks.
2 days ago
Khalil Shakir Note
Khalil Shakir photo 58. Khalil Shakir WR - BUF (vs . MIA)
Since Amari Cooper walked in the door, Shakir has finished as the WR18 and the WR10 in weekly fantasy scoring. In that two-game snippet, he has had a 23.9% target share, 3.07 YPRR, and a 30.4% first-read share. The big issue for Shakir hasn't been volume, as it has been high-leverage usage. He has seen only one deep target and three red zone targets, but I expect that to trend up if he remains this much of a focal point of the passing attack. Miami has flip-flopped between single high and two high all year (53.8% single high). Buffalo has faced the second-highest rate of single high this season (60.9%), so I'm projecting Miami to use single high this week to defend Buffalo. In their last meeting, Miami utilized single high on 60% of their defensive snaps. Against single high, leads the team in TPRR (26%) and first-read share (21.3%) while ranking second in YPRR (2.80). Miami has been more giving to slot receivers, allowing the ninth-highest passer rating when targeted and ranking 16th in fantasy points per game.
1 day ago
Jakobi Meyers Note
Jakobi Meyers photo 59. Jakobi Meyers WR - LV (at CIN)
Since Week 4, without Davante Adams, Meyers has been seeing alpha-level volume. He has had a 27.5% target share, a 36.2% air-yard share, 1.84 YPRR, and a 32.8% first-read share. He's had four red zone targets over his last three games, with weekly finishes of WR48, WR29, and WR20. He should crush again this week against a Cincy secondary that has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game and the 12th-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
1 day ago
Rachaad White Note
Rachaad White photo 60. Rachaad White RB - TB (at KC)
Over the last two weeks, White has been awesome, primarily splitting work with Bucky Irving. He has averaged 13.5 touches and 89 total yards with weekly finishes as the RB2 and RB17. Among 43 qualifying backs, White ranks 18th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 11th in yards after contact per attempt. Unfortunately, the fantasy points train gets derailed this week for White against a tough Kansas City defense. The Chiefs have allowed the lowest explosive run rate, the second-lowest rushing yards per game, and the sixth-lowest missed tackle rate. They have also held backs to the 11th-lowest receiving yards per game, so White likely can't use the passing game usage to save him in Week 9.
1 day ago
Courtland Sutton Note
Courtland Sutton photo 61. Courtland Sutton WR - DEN (at BAL)
Only Courtland Sutton had a route share above 48% last week. No other Denver pass catcher is viable in fantasy right now, as the team is running a full-blown committee with its receiving depth chart. Last week, Sutton finished with a season-high of 100 receiving yards and eight grabs as the WR21 for the week. He could follow that up with another box score stuffer in Week 9. Overall, Sutton has a 21.7% target share, a 38.6% air-yard share, 1.58 YPRR, and a 29.9% first-read share. He faces a Baltimore secondary that has allowed the most fantasy points per game and the second-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
1 day ago
Xavier Worthy Note
Xavier Worthy photo 62. Xavier Worthy WR - KC (vs . TB)
Worthy has been a hollow source of volume since Rashee Rice went down. Last week, it was much the same. He had a 64.3% route share, a 21.1% target share, a 29.5% air-yard share, and a 33.3% first-read share, with only 37 receiving yards to show for it. Maybe this is the week he finally converts the strong usage into fantasy points. Time is running out because once Hopkins is fully integrated into this offense, I think he will take the WR1 crown and compete weekly with Travis Kelce for the team lead in targets. Tampa Bay has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game and the tenth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
1 day ago
Bucky Irving Note
Bucky Irving photo 63. Bucky Irving RB - TB (at KC)
Over the last two weeks, Irving has been the RB16 and RB18 in weekly scoring, averaging 14 touches and 80.5 total yards. He has played 35-42% of the snaps. Among 43 qualifying backs, he ranks second in explosive run rate, fourth in missed tackles forced per attempt, and seventh in yards after contact per attempt. This is a good week to consider flexing another player over Irving. The Chiefs have allowed the lowest explosive run rate, the second-lowest rushing yards per game, and the sixth-lowest missed tackle rate. They have also held backs to the 11th-lowest receiving yards per game, so Irving likely can't use the passing game usage to save him in Week 9.

Michael Pittman Jr. Note

Evan Engram Note
Evan Engram photo 65. Evan Engram TE - JAC (at PHI)
Last year without Christian Kirk, Engram went nuts as the TE3 in fantasy points per game, drawing a 25.5% target share and 25.6% first-read share with 1.79 YPRR. Engram has more target competition this season, but his usage is about to spike massively starting in Week 9. Since Week 3, Philly has transitioned to a two-high heavy secondary with the sixth-highest rate (54%). Against two high, Engram has led the way with a 22.6% target share, 1.70 YPRR, and a 23.8% first-read share. Engram should be the first person Lawrence is looking for this week when he drops back to pass. Philly has allowed the fourth-fewest receiving yards and the fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends, but it might not matter this week with how much volume Engram should see in Week 9.

Javonte Williams Note
Javonte Williams photo 66. Javonte Williams RB - DEN (at BAL)
Williams fell flat last week in a smash matchup with Carolina as Nix and the passing game stole the show. This week, Williams is headed toward a dreadful day against one of the league's best run defenses. Williams is the RB32 in fantasy points per game, ranking 20th in snap share, 11th in weighted opportunities, and fourth in targets among backs. He has averaged 14.7 touches and 64.9 total yards. Among 43 qualifying backs, he ranks 14th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 35th in yards after contact per attempt. Baltimore has allowed the fewest rushing yards per game, the third-lowest explosive run rate, and the fourth-lowest missed tackle rate.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Note
Jaxon Smith-Njigba photo 67. Jaxon Smith-Njigba WR - SEA (vs . LAR)
Smith-Njiba hasn't had the breakout season I was hoping for this year, but that doesn't mean he has been terrible as the WR37 in fantasy points per game. He has seen six deep targets and six red zone looks in his last five games. He has a 19.7% target share, 1.32 YPRR, and a 22% first-read share. Among 98 qualifying wide receivers, he is 51st in separation and 77th in route win rate. Neither of those metrics are great, and I don't think they will improve after this week's game. Los Angeles has held slot receivers to the fewest receiving yards per game and the fewest fantasy points per game.
1 day ago
Cade Otton Note
Cade Otton photo 68. Cade Otton TE - TB (at KC)
With Tampa Bay missing both Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, tight end Cade Otton became Baker Mayfield's go-to target. Otton posted the second multi-touchdown game of his NFL career while catching a career-high nine passes. Now Otton will face a Kansas City Chiefs team that serves up the second-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends on the year. Otton may not be the best tight end on the field Monday night, but he should be treated like a weekly fantasy starter until further notice.
2 days ago
Cedric Tillman Note
Cedric Tillman photo 69. Cedric Tillman WR - CLE (vs . LAC)
Tillman has been awesome over the last two weeks as the WR10 and WR3 in weekly fantasy scoring. He has drawn a 22.6% target share (tied for the team lead), a 36.8% air-yard share, and a 27.3% first-read share (team-leading) with 2.22 YPRR and 90 receiving yards per game. He also tied for the team lead with three end-zone targets over the last two games. The Chargers have the third-highest two high rate in the NFL (59.5%). Since Week 7, against two high, Tillman ranks third on the team with an 18.8% target share, first with 2.63 YPRR, and third with an 18.2% first-read share. Tillman could keep the train rolling this week, but he'll have to overcome a tough matchup. The Chargers have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game and the ninth-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Rico Dowdle Note
Rico Dowdle photo 70. Rico Dowdle RB - DAL (at ATL)
Dowdle was a surprise inactive last week as he fell ill quickly with a 102 fever. He opened this week with a full practice, so I expect him to resume his role as leader of this backfield after a week where Ezekiel Elliott and Dalvin Cook both looked washed. In his two games played prior to Detroit throttling Dallas, Dowdle played 45-50% of the snaps, averaging 17 touches and 87.5 total yards. He was the RB22 and the RB3 in weekly scoring. He hasn't managed an explosive run this season while only having a 7% missed tackle rate and 2.25 yards after contact per attempt. Those numbers don't inspire confidence, but there's no back on this depth chart that should be challenging him for the team lead in work. Atlanta has been giving to backs, allowing the 12th-most rushing yards per game, the sixth-highest missed tackle rate, and the 14th-highest explosive run rate.

Kyle Pitts Note

Brian Thomas Jr. Note
Brian Thomas Jr. photo 72. Brian Thomas Jr. WR - JAC (at PHI)
Thomas Jr. is the WR13 in fantasy points per game, ranking 15th in deep targets among wide receivers. He has four red zone targets across his last three games. Thomas Jr. has a 19.4% target share, a 28.1% air-yard share, 2.81 YPRR, and a 23.3.% first-read share. Since Week 3, Philly has transitioned to a two-high heavy secondary with the sixth-highest rate (54%). Against two high, Thomas Jr. has seen his target share decline to 15.2% with 2.15 YPRR and a 19.2% first-read share. The team will likely have to bump up his usage this week with Kirk gone, but the Jags passing attack will flow through Evan Engram this week. Philly has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers.
1 day ago
DeAndre Hopkins Note
DeAndre Hopkins photo 73. DeAndre Hopkins WR - KC (vs . TB)
Last week, Hopkins only had a 33.3% route share and a 7.9% target share. His route share likely climbs this week, but like with Amari Cooper, we can't be too aggressive with our ramp-up expectations. Asking wide receivers to absorb complex playbooks quickly and ascend to full-time roles immediately is a bit much. Could Hopkins have a 70% route share this week? It's possible. It's also possible that he is sitting in the 40-50% range with a target share in the mid-teens, and you're praying that he scores a touchdown to save you from a poor fantasy lineup decision. Sit Hopkins again this week, as we need to see how his role expands in Week 9 before starting him with confidence.
1 day ago
Romeo Doubs Note
Romeo Doubs photo 74. Romeo Doubs WR - GB (vs . DET)
Doubs is the WR39 in fantasy points per game with two top 15 wide receiver finishes in his last three games. Across his last four games, he has four red zone targets. Overall, he has had an 18.7% target share, a 29.9% air-yard share, 2.01 YPRR, and a 23.4% first-read share. I expect the Lions to utilize single-high heavily this week against Green Bay. In their two meetings last year, they utilized it with 59.9% of their defense snaps. This season overall, they have utilized single high with 55.6% of their defensive snaps. They had a brief dalliance with two high in Weeks 3-5, but they have utilized single high on at least 60.8% of their snaps in their four other games this season. Against single-high, Doubs ranks second on the team with a 22% TPRR and first in YPRR (2.78) and first-read share (30.1%). He should have another productive day against a secondary that has allowed the 11th-most fantasy points per game and the seventh-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
1 day ago
Jake Ferguson Note
Jake Ferguson photo 75. Jake Ferguson TE - DAL (at ATL)
Ferguson continues to move through the season as the uninspiring TE12 in fantasy points per game. He has only two red zone targets since Week 3 and hasn't scored a touchdown this season. He is the TE5 in expected fantasy points per game, so I guess we should start expecting a regression to the mean game incoming. That could be this week. Since Week 4, Atlanta has utilized two high with 58.3% of their defensive snaps. Against two high, Ferguson leads the team with a 23.2% target share, 2.04 YPRR, and a 26.9% first-read share. Atlanta is 15th in receiving yards per game allowed to tight ends, but they have also given up the tenth-most fantasy points per game to the position.
1 day ago
Keenan Allen Note
Keenan Allen photo 76. Keenan Allen WR - CHI (at ARI)
Allen hasn't produced like many had hoped this year. He is the WR54 in fantasy points per game, with only one game inside the top 24 wideouts in weekly fantasy scoring. He has seen better usage of late, with three red zone targets in his last three games. Overall, he has a 20.1% target share, 1.26 YPRR, and a 25.9% first-read share. We'll see if he can take advantage of a solid matchup in the slot this week, but it's tough to trust him as anything more than a dice roll WR3/flex. Arizona has allowed the eighth-highest PPR points per target and the 13th-highest passer rating when targeted to slot receivers.

Keon Coleman Note
Keon Coleman photo 77. Keon Coleman WR - BUF (vs . MIA)
Coleman is the WR46 in fantasy points per game while ranking 18th in deep targets and 20th in red zone looks among wide receivers. Since Amari Cooper's arrival, he has had a 20.9% target share, a 34.9% air-yard share, 3.68 YPRR, and a 21.7% first-read share. He has seen three end zone targets over the last two games. Miami has flip-flopped between single high and two high all year (53.8% single high). Buffalo has faced the second-highest rate of single high this season (60.9%), so I'm projecting Miami to use single high this week to defend Buffalo. In their last meeting, Miami utilized single high on 60% of their defensive snaps. Against single high, Coleman has a 21% TPRR, 2.97 YPRR, and a 20.2% first-read share (second-best). Miami has allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game and receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Jerry Jeudy Note
Jerry Jeudy photo 78. Jerry Jeudy WR - CLE (vs . LAC)
Since Week 7, Jeudy has ranked fourth on the team with a 14% target share while posing 1.07 YPRR and an 18.2% first-read share (fourth). He has been hopped in the target pecking order by Cedric Tillman and it looks like Elijah Moore. The Chargers have the third-highest two high rate in the NFL (59.5%). Since Week 7, against two high, Jeudy has had a 9.4% target share, 0.60 YPRR, and a 13.6% first-read share. Hold him on your bench if you have the space, but I have no issues with dropping him to the waiver wire if you have to.

Jordan Addison Note
Jordan Addison photo 79. Jordan Addison WR - MIN (vs . IND)
Addison's touchdown luck from last season hasn't been replicated in 2024, and we've seen his fantasy stock plummet because of it. Addison is the WR44 in fantasy points per game with three deep targets this season and only one red zone look. Addison has a 16.9% target share, a 31% air-yard share, 1.83 YPRR, and a 23% first-read share. Indy has utilized single high with 57.1% of their defensive snaps. Against single high, Addison has seen his usage increase while his efficiency has taken a hit with an 18.4% target share and 26% first-read share, but he has had 1.65 YPRR against the coverage. Addison retains his WR3/4 or middling flex appeal this week against a Colts secondary that ranks 18th in fantasy points per game and eighth in receiving yards per game allowed to perimeter wide receivers.

Raheem Mostert Note
Raheem Mostert photo 80. Raheem Mostert RB - MIA (at BUF)
Last week, Mostert saved his fantasy day with two rushing touchdowns, but otherwise, it was a meh-level boxscore. Mostert played 46% of the snaps with ten touches and 30 total yards. He only played 45% of the passing down snaps, but he had a 67% snap rate in the red zone. It looks like age has finally caught up with Mostert this year. Among 69 qualifying backs, he ranks 64th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 67th in yards after contact per attempt. He's a touchdown-dependent flex only. Buffalo has allowed the 11th-highest explosive run rate, the fifth-highest yards before contact per attempt, and the seventh-highest yards per carry to gap runs (Mostert 51.1% gap).
1 day ago
Devin Singletary Note
Devin Singletary photo 81. Devin Singletary RB - NYG (vs . WAS)
Singletary likely draws the start this week with Tracy Jr. in the concussion protocol. In Weeks 1-4, with Singletary as the starter, he was the RB26 in fantasy points per game, averaging 16.5 touches and 73.3 total yards. Singletary has been impressive on a per-touch basis. Among 43 qualifying backs, he ranks 11th in missed tackles forced per attempt and sixth in yards after contact per attempt. He should eat this week against a Washington run defense that has allowed the second-highest explosive run rate, the eighth-most rushing yards per game, and the fifth-highest missed tackle rate.

Sam LaPorta Note
Sam LaPorta photo 82. Sam LaPorta TE - DET (at GB)
Last week without Jameson Williams, we saw Sam LaPorta get a usage boost with a 69.6% route share, a 31.6% target share, 3.00 YPRR, and a 33.3% first-read share. He was the TE8 for the week. Overall, he has a 10.7% target share, 1.85 YPRR, and an 11% first-read share. We'll see if the usage from last week carries over into Week 9, but the matchup is right for it, too. Green Bay has allowed the fifth-most receiving yards and the 12th-highest fantasy points per game to tight ends.
1 day ago
Tyler Lockett Note
Tyler Lockett photo 83. Tyler Lockett WR - SEA (vs . LAR)
Lockett looks like a wide receiver on the back nine of his NFL career as the WR51 in fantasy points per game. He has earned a 13.9% target share with 1.55 YPRR and an 18% first-read share. Among 98 qualifying wide receivers, he ranks 55th in separation and 67th in route win rate. However, this week's matchup could help boost his season-long numbers. The Rams have the eighth-highest single-high rate (58.2%). Against single-high, Lockett has seen his YPRR climb to 1.75. Los Angeles' struggles have been mainly against perimeter wide receivers, as they have allowed the fifth-highest fantasy points per game and receiving yards per game to the position. Lockett gets a boost in the flex ranks this week.

Wan'Dale Robinson Note
Wan'Dale Robinson photo 84. Wan'Dale Robinson WR - NYG (vs . WAS)
Robinson is the WR34 in fantasy points per game, ranking fourth among wideouts in red zone targets. He has soaked up a 23.3.% target share and a 26.4% first-read share with 1.29 YPRR. Washington has tightened up as a pass defense since Week 6, but Robinson could still rack up yardage in this game. Since Week 6, Washington has allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to slot receivers while still giving up the 11th-highest receiving yards per game. Robinson remains a decent flex, especially in PPR formats.

Jalen McMillan Note
Jalen McMillan photo 85. Jalen McMillan WR - TB (at KC)
Last week, McMillan had an 82.4% route share, a 14% target share, a 30.4% air-yard share, 0.83 YPRR, and a 21.2% first-read share. He didn't do much with the volume, with only 35 receiving yards. He didn't take over the "Chris Godwin role" as many hoped, as he played 71.4% of his snaps from the perimeter. This week, everyone should be sitting McMillan in a dreadful matchup with the Chiefs. Kansas City has allowed the fewest fantasy points per game and the second-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Rome Odunze Note
Rome Odunze photo 86. Rome Odunze WR - CHI (at ARI)
Odunze has had a rough rookie season as the WR65 in fantasy points per game. He has only one game with a WR2 or better weekly finish this week. His usage has been better recently in the red zone, with six targets inside the 20-yard line in the last six games. Did the Bears flip the script after the bye and install Odunze as the new WR1? It's a one-game sample, so I won't get ahead of myself and say that, but Odunze's Week 8 usage was interesting despite the snooze-worthy box score (three receptions and 41 receiving yards). Odunze led the team in Week 8 in target share (25%), air-yard share (41.1%), YPRR (1.71), and first-read share (30.8%). We'll see if that was a blip on the radar or a snippet of things to come. Odunze has just as good of a chance as Moore and Allen to pop off in Week 9. Arizona has been giving to perimeter wide receivers, allowing the fifth-highest PPR points per target and the fourth-highest passer rating when targeted.

Tyler Allgeier Note
Tyler Allgeier photo 87. Tyler Allgeier RB - ATL (vs . DAL)
Allgeier's blowup in Week 6 is an obvious outlier this season. Last week was the only other game this season where he has surpassed ten touches in a game. Allgeier finished with 12 carries and 33 rushing yards while playing 35% of the snaps. Over the last two weeks, Allgeier's touchdown equity has shriveled up to nothing, with only 9.1% of the red zone snaps. Allgeier will likely see 8-10 touches this week, and you're praying that he gets into the end-zone, which makes him a low-end flex. Dallas still can't stop the run, giving up the eighth-highest explosive run rate and the second-highest yards before contact per attempt and rushing success rate.
1 day ago
Jalen Tolbert Note
Jalen Tolbert photo 88. Jalen Tolbert WR - DAL (at ATL)
Tolbert is the WR42 in fantasy points per game, but he hasn't managed more than 8.3 fantasy points in three of his last four games. His usage has dried up some, as he also hasn't seen a red zone target since Week 5. The three red zone targets he saw against Pittsburgh were his only red zone targets in his last four games. Overall, he has a 13% target share, 1.37 YPRR, and a 15% first-read share. These aren't exactly eye-popping numbers. Since Week 4, Atlanta has utilized two high with 58.3% of their defensive snaps. Against two high, Tolbert has seen his usage increase with a 17.2% target share, 1.74 YPRR, and a 24.7% first-read share. This looks like a good spot to flex Tolbert, as Atlanta has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points per game and the 14th-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Xavier Legette Note
Xavier Legette photo 89. Xavier Legette WR - CAR (vs . NO)
In the six games this season, Legette has played at least 59% of the snaps, he has had a 16.3% target share, a 28.8% air-yard share, 1.38 YPRR, and a 20.1% first-read share. He has six red-zone targets and five end-zone targets in those games. Legette has disappointed on a per-route basis. Among 98 qualifying receivers, he ranks 79th in separation and 78th in route win rate. Since Week 3, New Orleans has had the fifth-highest two-high rate (54.2%). In that six-game sample, against two high, Legette has had a 21% TPRR and only 0.79 YPRR. New Orleans has allowed the sixth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. They also rank 16th in fantasy points per game allowed to the position. Legette is a volume-based, low-end flex play.

Dalton Kincaid Note
Dalton Kincaid photo 90. Dalton Kincaid TE - BUF (vs . MIA)
Kincaid is the TE16 in fantasy points per game, but he has finished as a TE1 in three of his last six games. He would have four TE1 notches on the belt, but last week, the tight end position went nuts as Kincaid posted a healthy 13.1 PPR points (TE14). In any other week, that is a strong TE1 game. Kincaid does have issues in this passing attack, though, with only one red zone target in his last five games. Kincaid has a 19% target share, 1.84 YPRR, and a 20.7% first-read share. Temper expectations for Kincaid this week against a defense that has held tight ends to the 12th-fewest receiving yards per game and the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game.

Austin Ekeler Note
Austin Ekeler photo 91. Austin Ekeler RB - WAS (at NYG)
In his last two games played, Ekeler has averaged 49% of the snaps played with 7.5 touches and 40 total yards. He is a strong flex play this week in a great matchup. His rushing metrics haven't been amazing, with only a 10% missed tackle rate and 2.0 yards after contact per attempt, but he has made up for it some with his 7.7% explosive run rate. Ekeler could flirt with ten touches in this matchup, and if he gets into the end zone (13 red zone touches this season), he could flirt with RB2 production this week. New York has allowed the highest missed tackle rate, the sixth-most rushing yards per game, and the third-highest explosive run rate.
1 day ago
Elijah Moore Note
Elijah Moore photo 92. Elijah Moore WR - CLE (vs . LAC)
Moore has flashed a pulse over the last two weeks with an 18.3% target share, 1.85 YPRR, and an 18.2% first-read share. He has a red zone target in each of his last four games. The Chargers have the third-highest two high rate in the NFL (59.5%). Since Week 7, against two high, Moore has ranked second on the team with a 25% target share, had 2.09 YPRR, and had a 22.7% first-read share. He's a viable flex this week in deeper leagues in a tough matchup. The Chargers have allowed the eighth-lowest PPR points per target and the 12th-fewest receiving yards per game to slot receivers.
1 day ago
DeMario Douglas Note
DeMario Douglas photo 93. DeMario Douglas WR - NE (at TEN)
Douglas' usage has been all over the map this season. Just when you think it's safe to start him, then BOOM... nothing burger. It has been frustrating because he is a talented player that has crushed when he has been leaned on this season. Overall, he has a 15.2% target share, 1.43 YPRR, and a 19.6% first-read share. Even if he does get volume this week, his chances of scoring a touchdown are slim. Douglas has only one red zone target this season (none since Week 5). Douglas is an easy sit this week against a Tennessee secondary that has held slot receivers to 18th in fantasy points per game and the ninth-fewest receiving yards per game.
1 day ago
Mark Andrews Note
Mark Andrews photo 94. Mark Andrews TE - BAL (vs . DEN)
Last week, Andrews saw his highest route share since Week 2 (67.4%). Since Week 5, he has been the TE7 in fantasy points per game with a 14.1% target share, 2.48 YPRR, three end zone targets, and a 15.7% first-read share. Andrews could own more of the tight end route share in this offense if they transition to more 11 personnel with only one tight end on the field at a time. He faces a tough matchup this week against a Denver defense that has allowed the 11th-fewest receiving yards per game and the fourth-lowest yards per reception to tight ends. Denver has allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends.
1 day ago
Tucker Kraft Note
Tucker Kraft photo 95. Tucker Kraft TE - GB (vs . DET)
Kraft is the TE7 in fantasy points per game, ranking fifth among tight ends in red zone targets. He has commanded a 12.5% target share and 10.3% first-read share with 1.90 YPRR. Kraft remains a TE1 this week, but don't expect smash numbers against a Detroit defense that has allowed the second-fewest receiving yards and fantasy points per game to the position.
1 day ago
Christian Watson Note
Christian Watson photo 96. Christian Watson WR - GB (vs . DET)
This isn't the week to consider flexing Watson. He has been much better against two high this season. I expect the Lions to utilize single-high heavily this week against Green Bay. In their two meetings last year, they utilized it with 59.9% of their defense snaps. This season overall, they have utilized single high with 55.6% of their defensive snaps. They had a brief dalliance with two high in Weeks 3-5, but they have utilized single high on at least 60.8% of their snaps in their four other games this season. Against single-high, Watons ranks fourth on the team with an 18% TPRR, and he has had only 1.43 YPRR and a 13.7% first-read share.

Dalton Schultz Note
Dalton Schultz photo 97. Dalton Schultz TE - HOU (at NYJ)
Schultz is the TE28 in fantasy points per game, drawing a 13.2% target share with 1.00 YPRR and a 12.8% first-read share. He has only two red zone targets this season and hasn't seen one since Week 4. The Jets have been tough against tight ends, allowing the tenth-fewest receiving yards per game and the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game. Sit Schultz.

Zach Ertz Note
Zach Ertz photo 98. Zach Ertz TE - WAS (at NYG)
Ertz continues to surprise this season as the TE13 in fantasy points per game. He is fourth among tight ends in red zone targets. He has a 19% target share, 1.69 YPRR, and an 18.5% first-read share. Among 57 qualifying tight ends, he ranks third in separation and second in route win rate. Sit Ertz this week against a Giants team that has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game and the sixth-fewest receiving yards per game to tight ends.

Michael Wilson Note
Michael Wilson photo 99. Michael Wilson WR - ARI (vs . CHI)
Wilson is the WR55 in fantasy points per game with three weeks as a WR3 in weekly fantasy scoring this season. He has three red zone targets in his last four games. Wilson is second on the team in deep targets (six), which could come in handy this week. Since Week 4, Chicago has allowed the 13th-highest adjusted completion rate, the 12th-highest passer rating, and the 11th-most passing yards per game to deep passing. While his role in the deep passing game should help him, the coverage shell matchup this week doesn't do him any favors. Chicago has the fifth-highest rate of single high (59.8%). Against single high, Wilson has had a 17% target share, a 23.1% air-yard share, only 1.35 YPRR, and a 19.7% first-read share. Against single-high teams, the Cardinals' passing attack has heavily flowed through Harrison Jr. and McBride. This week, you're really hoping for him to convert a deep target against this secondary to pay off as a flex. The Bears are 16th in receiving yards per game and 19th in fantasy points per game against perimeter wide receivers.
1 day ago
Rashod Bateman Note
Rashod Bateman photo 100. Rashod Bateman WR - BAL (vs . DEN)
Bateman has been Baltimore's deep ball specialist this season. The math has been simple. If a team struggles versus deep passing, then he is in play as a flex. Well, Denver has been good versus deep passing, allowing the sixth-fewest deep passing yards per game with the sixth-lowest CPOE. Also, now with Diontae Johnson in town, Batemen's snap share weekly could be an issue if the team doesn't transition into a more 11 personnel heavy offense. If they still deploy multiple tight-end sets aplenty, Bateman's snaps will be hurt, and that could begin this week to an extent. Sit Bateman.
1 day ago
Cole Kmet Note
Cole Kmet photo 101. Cole Kmet TE - CHI (at ARI)
Kmet is coming off a down game, but he is still the TE8 in fantasy points per game, ranking fifth in deep targets and ninth in red zone targets among tight ends. He only has one red zone target in his last four games, though. Kmet has a 13.5% target share, 2.10 YPRR, and a 12.1% first-read share. This is a neutral matchup for Kmet as Arizona is 14th in receiving yards per game and 15th in fantasy points per game allowed to tight ends.

Zack Moss Note
Zack Moss photo 103. Zack Moss RB - CIN (vs . LV)
Moss has taken a backseat to Brown since Week 6, averaging only 8.4 touches and 31.3 total yards. He has been the team's passing down back. He isn't startable even in good matchups at this point. Hold him as a handcuff to Brown, but if you don't have the space, he's droppable.

T.J. Hockenson Note
T.J. Hockenson photo 105. T.J. Hockenson TE - MIN (vs . IND)
Hockenson should be active this week, but there's no way to project how big of a role he will play. You've had him sitting on the bench or in your IR spot all season, so what's one more week? If you are in desperation mode in a deep league, or if you're a psycho and play in a start two-tight-end league and have to start him, I get it. Indy has allowed the ninth-most receiving yards and the seventh-most fantasy points per game to tight ends, so at least the matchup is conducive to him possibly paying off with a touchdown on a snap count.
1 day ago
Hunter Henry Note
Hunter Henry photo 106. Hunter Henry TE - NE (at TEN)
Henry is the TE14 in fantasy points per game with three TE1 games this season. He has seen four red zone targets in his last five games. Henry has a 16.9% target share with 1.67 YPRR and a 17.7% first-read share. All of these are wonderful metrics for a tight end. The problem for Henry is this is a terrible matchup. Tennessee has allowed the third-fewest receiving yards and the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Jalen Coker Note
Jalen Coker photo 107. Jalen Coker WR - CAR (vs . NO)
Since assuming a starting role in Week 5, Coker has had a 10.9% target share, 1.94 YPRR, and a 14.3% first-read share with two end zone targets. Since Week 3, New Orleans has had the fifth-highest two-high rate (54.2%). Since Week 5, against two high, Coker has had 1.88 YPRR and a 14.3% first-read share. His usage hasn't really changed versus two high, and he's remained efficient. The matchup this week is glorious for Coker. The Saints have been unable to stop slot receivers giving up the eighth-most fantasy points per game and the third-most receiving yards per game.
1 day ago
Alec Pierce Note
Alec Pierce photo 108. Alec Pierce WR - IND (at MIN)
Let's keep this simple. Pierce's role in this passing attack is as the deep ball specialist. 55.2% of his target volume has come from deep targets. Minnesota ranks 15th in deep passing yards allowed while giving up the 11th-highest passer rating and ranking 14th in adjusted completion rate on throws 20 yards or further downfield. Pierce has seen more than five targets in only two games this season, so if you're flexing him, it is with the belief that he can cash in with one or two deep shots this week. The avenue exists in this matchup for him to possibly do so.

Noah Brown Note
Noah Brown photo 109. Noah Brown WR - WAS (at NYG)
In his last five games played, Brown has had a 61% route share, a 14.6% target share, a 21.5% air-yard share, 1.82 YPRR, and a 16% first-read share. In that span, he has two red zone targets. Since Week 3, the Giants have had the fourth-highest single-high rate (63.9%). Against single-high, Brown is fourth in TPRR (19%) and second in YPRR (1.81) among Commanders receiving options. Brown is a decent flex play this week, squaring off against a New York secondary that has allowed the eighth-highest fantasy points per game and the 13th-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Darius Slayton Note
Darius Slayton photo 110. Darius Slayton WR - NYG (vs . WAS)
In the six games Malik Nabers has been active, Slayton has only an 11.8% target share, a 23.2% air-yard share, 1.24 YPRR, and a 9% first-read share. This isn't the matchup to consider flexing him. Since Week 6, Washington has allowed the ninth-fewest receiving yards per game and the fourth-lowest fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Sterling Shepard Note
Sterling Shepard photo 113. Sterling Shepard WR - TB (at KC)
Last week, Shepard played 54.3% of his snaps from the slot, which will come in handy this week. He sadly only drew an 8% target share and 6.1% first-read share with 0.51 YPRR, but that could easily change this week. The weakness in the Kansas City secondary has been with defending tight ends and the slot. They have allowed the second-most fantasy points per game and the fifth-most receiving yards per game to slot receivers this season. Shepard could explode with a healthy stat line this week and surprise people if he retains the primary slot role in Week 9.

Jonnu Smith Note
Jonnu Smith photo 114. Jonnu Smith TE - MIA (at BUF)
Since Week 6, Smith has had a 63.9% route share, a 20.3% target share, 2.52 YPRR, and a 22.7% first-read share. Last week, while his route share stayed stable, Smith's target share dropped to 15.8%, and his first-read share decreased to 17.2%. With Tua Tagovailoa back, the wide receivers got more work in the passing attack. Sit Smith this week in a terrible matchup. Buffalo has held tight ends to the tenth-fewest fantasy points per game and the fifth-lowest yards per reception.

Joshua Palmer Note
Joshua Palmer photo 115. Joshua Palmer WR - LAC (at CLE)
This doesn't project as a week to look at flexing Palmer. Cleveland still has the highest single high rate in the NFL (69.5%). Against single high, Palmer is fifth on the team with a 14% TPRR, third in first-read share (14.1%), and fourth in YPRR (1.80). This has been a quiet year for Palmer after he flashed upside last year. He is droppable at this point.

If you picked up Palmer off the waiver wire, I'm sorry, but he's droppable. Last week, with a 70% route share, he only managed to draw a 4% target share and an 8.1% air-yard share. He's Tampa Bay's new cardio king. Let him burn those calories on the waiver wire.

Hill is a great tight-end dice roll this week. Last week, he returned to the lineup, playing 40% of the snaps with four rushing attempts and 20 rushing yards. He even attempted a pass and completed it for three yards. Hill also had a 38.8% route share, a 9.5% target share, and 21 receiving yards. His full skillset could be on display again this week. Carolina has allowed the most rushing yards in the NFL while also giving up the most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Demarcus Robinson Note
Demarcus Robinson photo 121. Demarcus Robinson WR - LAR (at SEA)
Robinson flashed a nose for the end zone last week with two scores with a full-strength Rams offense. Outside of those two scores, though, his day wasn't very eventful, so I don't want people chasing touchdowns. This season, Robinson has a 12.4% target share, 1.11 YPRR, and a 14.3% first-read share. Since Week 4, Seattle has ranked 12th in single-high rate. Against single-high, Robinson has seen his YPRR increase to 1.46. It's not an overwhelming efficiency bump, but it's worth bringing up. Robinson is a deep league or desperation flex only. Since Week 4, Seattle has allowed the sixth-highest fantasy points per game and the seventh-highest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Isaiah Likely Note
Isaiah Likely photo 126. Isaiah Likely TE - BAL (vs . DEN)
Likely is a sit candidate with Baltimore's multiple tight-end personnel rate up in the air. If the Ravens utilize more 11 personnel from the jump this week, the easy candidate to see a possible snap cut is Likely. Last week, his route share dipped to 48.8%. While he compensated by converting all of his targets (four, 10.5% target share) into 47 receiving yards, if his route share dips into the 30% range, it will be a coffin nail to his already meager fantasy value.

Parker Washington Note
Parker Washington photo 127. Parker Washington WR - JAC (at PHI)
Washington steps back into the starting lineup this week after Christian Kirk's season-ending injury. Last year, in Weeks 13-18, as the Jag's starting slot, he had a 59.8% route share, an 8.2% target share, 0.80 YPRR, and a 7.9% first-read share. Nothing here screams that he is a player to be highly considered for a flex spot this week. If that isn't enough, since Philly made Cooper DeJean their starting nickel, they have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game and receiving yards per game to slot receivers.

Fant is a wonderful tight-end streamer this week. While his first-glance optics aren't great, bear with me here. He is the TE23 in fantasy points per game and hasn't seen a red zone target since Week 1. Since Week 6, he has had an 11.8% target share, 1.97 YPRR, and a 12.3% first-read share. His per-route efficiency really jumps off the page. The Rams also have been ripped to shreds by tight ends. They have allowed the fourth-most receiving yards per game and the second-most fantasy points per game to the position.

Johnson follows the same must-sit protocol as previously traded wide receivers this season. With a limited window of opportunity to learn the playbook and build rapport with Lamar Jackson, there's no way to start Johnson with any confidence this week, both from a snap share and target share projection. It's not like this is a wonderful matchup either, where he could still succeed on a limited workload. Denver has allowed the tenth-lowest fantasy points per game and the sixth-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

With Davante Adams in town, Conklin has seen an 11.8% target share with 0.96 YPRR and a 12.5% first-read share. He has two end zone targets in his last two games. Conklin is a must-sit this week. Houston has kept tight ends frozen in their tracks, giving up the third-lowest yards per reception, the fewest receiving yards per game, and the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game.

Mike Gesicki Note
Mike Gesicki photo 137. Mike Gesicki TE - CIN (vs . LV)
I'll update Gesicki's outlook on Friday because it is inherently tied to Tee Higgins' availability. Last week, Gesicki saw a big bump in usage with Higgins out as he operated as the team's WR2. He had a 60% route share, a 21.6% target share, 3.04 YPRR, and a 25.9% first-read share. If Higgins suits up, Gesicki will get shoved down the target hierarchy, but if he's out, he could reprise this high-value role in Week 9.

John Metchie III Note
John Metchie III photo 138. John Metchie III WR - HOU (at NYJ)
Metchie has been a ghost this season. After hitting the active roster in Week 4, he played 4-36% of the snaps from Weeks 4-7, drawing only one target. Last week, he hit the field after Stefon Diggs had gone down. In the second half, he had a 45.5% route share, a 27.3% target share, 5.80 YPRR, and a 40% first-read share that tied Tank Dell for the team lead. Metchie ran 60% of his routes from the perimeter. He could rotate back and forth from the perimeter to the slot this week. It's tough to feel confident about him this week, considering he has been so low on the depth chart and wasn't pressed into action until last week when the Texans had no other options. If the Texans had a better defensive matchup this week, my writeup might be a tad more hopeful, but he's a sit this week. The Jets have held wide receivers to the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game and receiving yards.

Xavier Hutchinson photo 147. Xavier Hutchinson WR - HOU (at NYJ)
Last week, Hutchinson had a 61.5% route share, but he only managed a 2.7% target share and a 6.8% air-yard share. While the increase in playing time is nice to see, this isn't the week to consider him as a deep league flex. The Jets have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game and the seventh-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Over the last two games, Tipton has had an 86.6% route share, a 13.6% target share, 0.70 YPRR, and a 12.5% first-read share. He's a deep-league desperation flex only. Carolina has the second-highest single-high rate this season (69.2%). Against single high, Tipton has only 0.38 YPRR and an 11% TPRR. Carolina is a giving secondary to perimeter wide receivers, so maybe that helps Tipton succeed this week. Carolina has allowed the second-most fantasy points per game and the fourth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
