Fantasy Football Player Notes

We will finally get to see what Justin Jefferson and Kyler Murray can be this week. After Kyler suffered a concussion early in Week 1, we were left wondering "what could have been." This week, we get that answer as the 2-0 Vikings take on a floundering Buccaneers team. The Bucs defense has been a mess and even made the Cleveland QB look functional last week. In theory, Kyler should be a step up from Carson Wentz. Although he will be for the entire team, the fantasy manager did appreciate that Wentz would pepper Jefferson with the ball. Hopefully, Kyler will do the same and keep Jefferson as a high-end WR1 option.

Jordan Addison has done nothing over the last two weeks as the WR110 in fantasy points per game. Addison only has a 15.9% target share, 0.47 YPRR, one red zone target, zero deep targets, and a 16.7% first-read share. I wouldn't be shocked if he has a solid game, but I'm not projecting a massive outing. The Bucs have allowed the 12th-most yards per target and the 13th-most fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers. Tampa Bay has the second-highest single-high rate (70.8%). Since 2024, against single-high, Addison has a 19% target-per-route-run rate and 1.65 YPRR. Those are passable marks, but nothing to cut backflips over.
