Fantasy Football Player Notes

Courtland Sutton is the WR23 in fantasy points per game with an 18.5% target share, 59.5 receiving yards per game, 1.89 yards per route run, and a 23.4% first-read share. Sutton is second on the team in red zone targets (ten) and deep targets (13). Sutton is headed for a down game this week. Since Week 12, Green Bay has utilized two high at the second-highest rate (69.5%). Against two high, Sutton's numbers have suffered with a 14% target share with 1.37 yards per route run and a 17.4% first-read share. Since Week 10, Green Bay has allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points per game and the 14th-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Sutton needs a touchdown to save his fantasy day in Week 15.

Last week, Troy Franklin's route share fell off the table to 39.5% and he had only a 10.5% target share. Franklin hasn't been an 80-85% route share receiver this season, but even in Week 13, when people were worried about his usage, he had a 68.8% route share, which has been pretty much his baseline this season. Franklin is off the flex radar this week after the dip in his playing time and the tough matchup this week. Since Week 12, Green Bay has utilized two high at the second-highest rate (69.5%). Against two high, Franklin's target share has only been 14.8% with 0.95 yards per route run. That's not good enough to justify blind faith and playing him this week. Since Week 10, Green Bay has allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points per game and the 14th-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
