Fantasy Football Player Notes

In Jalon Daniels' first start, Emeka Egbuka found himself as the third option in the passing attack, finishing third on the team with a 14.8% target share and 19% first-read share behind Cade Otton and Chris Godwin. Egbuka finished with only 13 receiving yards and one red zone target. It was a disappointing showing for Egbuka. With Daniels still finding his footing, I'd love to craft a narrative that Egbuka immediately bounces back; I don't know if that happens, but it's possible. Dallas has been tougher against perimeter wide receivers, though, allowing the eighth-fewest yards per target and the 11th-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to the position. Egbuka is just a risky flex with upside this week.

Last week, in Jalon Daniels first start, Chris Godwin had a team-leading 25.9% target share with a 23.8% first-read share (second on the team). Now, Godwin did nothing with the volume, with only 31 receiving yards and 1.03 YPRR, but it's notable that he was the team leader in target share. Last week, Godwin didn't see a red zone or deep target. Godwin could see his best game of the season against Dallas, though, if this usage holds for Week 5. Dallas has been ripped to shreds by slot receivers, giving up the highest yards per target and the fourth-most fantasy points per opportunity.
