Allen Lazard

Lazard popped off for a huge game in Week 1. While we can poke holes in the fantasy finish (WR3), as one of his scores came in garbage time, the usage was fantastic. Lazard had a 90% route share with a 31% target share, a 48.4% air-yard share, 3.18 YPRR, and a 33.3% first-read share. Among 104 qualifying receivers, Lazard ranked ninth in separation and eighth in route win rate. Likely, neither he nor Garrett Wilson will see a shadow from L'Jarius Snead, who followed D.J. Moore on only 53% of his routes in Week 1. Lazard will run about 75% of his routes against Snead (60% catch rate and 77.1 passer rating) and Chidobe Awuzie (50% catch rate and 58.3 passer rating)

Allen Lazard caught 6-of-9 targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns in Monday's 32-19 loss to the New York Jets.

Fantasy Impact

Lazard surprisingly led the Jets in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns on Monday. He was one of their lone bright spots in a tough loss to the 49ers, and he even outshined Garrett Wilson, who many expect a big season from. He obviously won't be able to keep up this pace, but it's possible that he will find week-to-week streaming value this season.
