Fantasy Football Player Notes

In Week 13, we thought that JSN proved he was human. However, with three straight 90-plus yard games and three touchdowns in three weeks, I'm not convinced it wasn't just a machine malfunction. This has been a ridiculous season from the third-year WR, and he is the core of this offense. In a huge game for both the Seahawks and Panthers, JSN will be relied on heavily. Even though the Panthers are solid against WRs, this is not a matchup that should scare fantasy managers.

After two strong games back-to-back, Shaheed faceplanted last week with one target and zero receptions. Yes, he did score on a 58-yard punt return and had 31 rushing yards, but that's flukey production and not something that anyone should be chasing. Since Week 14, Shaheed has had a 13% target share with 47 receiving yards per game, 1.88 yards per route run, and an 18% first-read share. In those three games, he has had one red zone target and three deep targets. Shaheed could pop off with a solid performance this week, and it wouldn't surprise me. He's a viable flex play this week. Since Week 12, Carolina has allowed the ninth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
