Fantasy Football Player Notes

Rice may be a great fantasy receiver, but last week we saw the issue of the Chiefs not having a true WR1 against the Texans. In a massive game for their playoff hopes, the Chiefs were dominated by the Texans' defense. Unfortunately, the road doesn't get a lot easier as they face the Chargers in Week 15. The Chargers have allowed teh fourth fewest fantasy points to opposing WRs over the last five weeks. Averaging less than 100 yards and 0.4 toucdowns per game to receivers, this defense is likely salivating at the chance to put the Chiefs' playoff hopes to bed. As Patrick Mahomes' top target, he will always see enough volume to come through for fantasy. Start him as a low-end WR1 this week.

Since Rashee Rice's return, Worthy hasn't finished higher than WR28 in any week, and he has only two top 36 weekly finishes (WR28, WR33). Since Week 7, he has had a 15.3% target share, 44.4 receiving yards per game, 1.36 yards per route run, and a 19.4% first-read share. In those seven games, he has had three red zone targets and seven deep targets. Sit Worthy this week. Since Week 10, the Bolts have held perimeter wide receivers to the tenth-fewest PPR points per target and the 12th-fewest receiving yards per game.
