Fantasy Football Player Notes

He may have lost his streak of 100-yard games, but his 27-yard touchdown saved fantasy managers last week. Despite only having two targets and two receptions, the star wideout continued his streak of decent fantasy finishes. Just in time for the fantasy playoffs, Brown has arguably the best matchup for receivers in Week 15. Although the Commanders are only allowing the seventh most fantasy points to opposing wideouts, we have seen them be lit up by multiple weapons. In his two games against the Commanders last year, Brown combined for 23 targets, 13 receptions, 162 yards, and a score. With all the weapons on the Eagles, it's hard to know who is going to get home, but Brown has a great chance for a good game in Week 15.

DeVonta Smith is the WR29 in fantasy points per game with a 24% target share, a 34.9% air-yard share, 2.07 yards per route run, and a 30% first-read share. Smith is third on the team with eight red zone targets and tied with AJ Brown for the team lead in deep targets. Smith has had a slump only one game with double-digit PPR points since Week 11. During that span, he has had only two red zone targets and exceeded 55 receiving yards only once. This week's matchup offers a nice bounce-back opportunity. Since Week 10, Washington has allowed the tenth-most PPR points per target and the third-highest rating when targeted to perimeter wide receivers.
