Fantasy Football Player Notes

Hill opened this week with a DNP (ankle). Hill has played through several other injury designations this season, so currently, I'm projecting him to suit up in Week 13. Hill is the WR1 in fantasy, ranking third in deep targets and second in red zone targets. Since Week 8, Washington has utilized man coverage at the second-highest rate (42.0%). Against man coverage, Hill has a 32.9% target share, a 50.4% air-yard share, 4.77 YPRR, and a 36.4% first-read share. Those numbers are absolutely bonkers. Since Week 7, Washington has allowed the eighth-most PPR points per target and the second-most receiving yards to perimeter wide receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: THE WR1

Waddle has raised his season-long stock recently to WR20 after posting top 15 wide receiver finishes in three of his last six games (WR13, WR6, WR15). The problem is in his other three games in that sample, he has finished as the WR27, WR39, and WR36. Waddle still has a similar weekly ceiling as last year, but in 2023, the weekly floor can bottom out at any time. Hill is absorbing so much target oxygen from the passing room weekly that it crushes Waddle's fantasy stock at times. Since Week 8, Washington has utilized man coverage at the second-highest rate (42.0%). This is likely one of those weeks where Waddle has a middling game. Against man, Waddle has an 18.9% target share, a 26.5% air-yard share, 2.57 YPRR, and a 20% first-read share. Since Week 7, Washington has allowed the eighth-most PPR points per target and the second-most receiving yards to perimeter wide receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: WR2/3
