Fantasy Football Player Notes

So, apparently his ankle is just fine, eh? Jeffery has seen at least five targets in every game but has seen eight-plus targets in five of the last seven games. With the Giants run defense playing as well as they are, the Giants have allowed six top-24 receivers in their last three games. Demaryius Thomas, Jamison Crowder, Allen Robinson, Anthony Miller, Davante Adams, and Allen Lazard were the ones to get there, so it's not like they were playing Michael Thomas and Julio Jones in each of those games. There have been 12 receivers who've seen eight-plus targets against them, and Randall Cobb was the only one who failed to score at least 13.7 PPR points (he scored 9.5, so it wasn't a complete waste). The Giants have kind of given up the whole Janoris Jenkins shadow bit, as he's just not a dominant player anymore. If the Eagles were wise, they'd line Jeffery up on the left side of the formation much more often to get him matched-up with DeAndre Baker, who's allowed a 135.3 rating in his coverage this year. Jeffery should be in lineups as a low-end WR2 for this contest and has some upside.

Despite the fact that he's averaged 6.2 targets over the last six games, Agholor hasn't topped 42 yards in any of them. He's one of the least efficient receivers in football while averaging just 5.3 yards per target this season. By comparison, the Patriots have allowed 5.5 yards per target to wide receivers. Can the Giants incompetent secondary allow him to get back on the radar? As a team, they've allowed a league-high 10.0 yards per target to receivers and have allowed six different receivers finish as top-24 options over their last three games. The worst finish that a receiver had while getting more than five targets against them was six catches for 35 yards, which isn't lineup-killing. It's incredibly hard to trust him in season-long leagues as anything more than a low-end WR4/high-end WR5, even if this matchup does suggest he should be more.
