Fantasy Football Player Notes

Last week, without Adams in the lineup, Meyers had a 41.7% target share, a 53% air-yard share, 2.04 YPRR, and a 45% first-read share. How much does all of this volume matter in Week 5? Very little. Without Adams in the lineup again this week, Meyers will be shadowed by Patrick Surtain, who is a coffin nail for his fantasy value. Surtain has followed D.K. Metcalf, Mike Evans, George Pickens, and Garrett Wilson this season on 60-95% of their routes, and none of them eclipsed 30 receiving yards in his coverage. Sit Meyers this week.

Last week without Adams, Tucker had a 25% target share, an 18.4% air-yard share, 1.64 YPRR, and a 30% first-read share. He's likely to see substantial volume again this week with Meyers locked up with Surtain. This means Tucker will match up with Riley Moss (64% catch rate and 92.9 passer rating) for most of the day. Denver is fifth in single-high rate (57.9%). Tucker's numbers against single-high aren't great, as he has logged a 13% TPRR and only 1.05 YPRR. Tucker does hold some deep PPR league flex appeal if you're in a pinch.
