Fantasy Football Player Notes

Expectations need to be altered for Nacua, but not necessarily in a bad way. Sure, he does not have the top-end upside that we saw at the start of the season. However, he is one of the most consistently productive receivers for fantasy. We also saw him make a ridiculous grab last week, showcasing his ability to make jaw-dropping plays. With Davante Adams and Matthew Stafford looking like prime Aaron Rodgers and Adams, Nacua has been held out of the endzone for three consecutive weeks. Thankfully, he has averaged 6.4 receptions and 80 yards over his last five games. He remains one of the best receivers in the league, but has become the best WR2 you could ask for. It's only a matter of time before we see him find pay dirt once again, providing fantasy managers with a WR1 week.

This is incredible. If anyone doesn't believe football can be art, they need to watch Matthew Stafford and Davante Adams in the red zone. Move over Mona Lisa, because the Louvre needs to make room for a highlight reel of these two at work. Reminiscent of prime Aaron Rodgers and Adams, these two are leading the league in passing touchdowns and receiving touchdowns. Typically, when a player has scored in all but three games on the season, they are risky for fantasy. However, this is one of those special situations alongside LaGarrette Blount's 18 touchdowns in 2016, Jimmy Graham's 10 touchdowns in 2017, Eric Ebron's 13 touchdowns in 2018, Jamaal Williams' 17 touchdowns in 2022, you get the point. With eight or more targets in all but three games, Adams also provides a decent yardage floor in case he fails to convert in the red zone. Embrace the fact that not all touchdown production is equivalent, and continue to play Adams as a WR1 each week.
