Fantasy Football Player Notes

Ashton Jeanty is the RB11 in fantasy points per game with 18.7 touches and 73.8 total yards per game. His offensive line has crushed his rushing output, but his passing game usage has been saving him weekly. Jeanty has eight targets in each of his last three games. Since Week 9, he has had an 18.3% target share with 33 receiving yards per game, 1.30 yards per route run, and a 12.8% first-read share. Among 55 qualifying backs, he ranks tenth in missed tackle rate and 35th in yards after contact per attempt. Jeanty will have to lean on volume and his receiving prowess again this week. Since Week 9, Denver has remained a nasty run defense, allowing the third-fewest rushing yards per game, the lowest explosive run rate, the 12th-lowest missed tackle rate, and the 12th-lowest yards after contact per attempt.
