Fantasy Football Player Notes

Last week, Justin Jefferson should have had two touchdowns, which would have quieted the narrative that he and JJ McCarthy's connection is worrisome at best. One score was called back by penalty, and the other sailed through Jefferson's hands. In the eight games Jefferson has played with McCarthy this season, he has two top 24 finishes in weekly scoring with a 29.1% target share, 43.9 receiving yards per game, 1.55 yards per route run, and a 34.7% first-read share. In those games, Jefferson has also had 11 red zone targets and ten deep targets. I'm still rolling out Jefferson there this week in a great spot. Since Week 10, New York has allowed the 13th-most receiving yards per game and the 12th-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

In Jordan Addison's six games with JJ McCarthy under center, he has had two top 36 weekly finishes (WR31, WR29) with a 16.4% target share, 38.5 receiving yards per game, 1.43 yards per route run, and a 21.9% first-read share. In that sample, Addison has had two red zone targets and nine deep targets. He's a decent flex play again this week with a nice matchup. Since Week 10, New York has allowed the 13th-most receiving yards per game and the 12th-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
