Review from Week 11

Jared Goff – Finished as QB26, excellent trim.  Continuing to be a run-first team, Jared finished under 200 passing yards and no touchdowns again.

Keenan Allen – Finished as WR29, decent trim.  Forced to go more than his limited snaps with Mike Williams getting reinjured right away, Keenan still ended up respectable on the week.  Hopefully, he will continue to stay healthy and perform.

Getting really close to playoffs, so options to trim are going to be very slim.  Good luck to everyone in their playoff runs, and continue to read Mike Reedy‘s Untangling the Wire articles for your playoff schedules!

Russell Wilson (QB – Denver Broncos)

Rostership Percentages:
Yahoo – 73% Ownership
ESPN – 59% Ownership
Sleeper – 73% Ownership (Includes dynasty)
Season Ranking – QB22
Week 8 Finish – QB21
Week 10 Finish – QB21
Week 11 Finish – QB20

We held on this long, and it hasn’t gotten better.  Some good matchups are coming up, but at this point, this offense is beyond repair.  Potentially he can come back next year with a new coaching staff but for this year, look to send Russell into the Danger zone, aka the waiver wire.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire (RB – Kansas City Chiefs)

Rostership Percentages:
Yahoo – 72% Ownership
ESPN – 72% Ownership
Sleeper – 73% Ownership (Includes dynasty)
Season Ranking – RB30
Week 9 Finish – RB43
Week 10 Finish – RB89
Week 11 Finish – RB64

Starting so strong in the season, Clyde slowly lost the starting role to Isiah Pacheco and Jerrick McKinnon. With his recent injury, this should also be an easy drop if you need someone for your playoff schedule.

Good luck to everyone in their playoffs, and if you don’t make it, it’s ok; there is always next year and DFS!  Please follow me on Twitter for all Redraft advice and my weekly articles at The Undroppables!

Untangling the Waiver Wire (Fantasy Football 2022 – Week 12)

Happy Thanksgiving!

I want to thank you, my readers, at this point. Thank you for your reading, for sharing my articles, and for your overall support.

Believe it or not, Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated on different dates in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and Liberia. Each country celebrates this holiday on other dates, but the bottom line is the same. It is a holiday for giving thanks and spending time with family and loved ones.

Please remember to reach out to family and friends and wish them a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

With that said, may all your Waiver Wire Dreams come true tonight!

NOTE: If you are new here, this column refers to players rostered in under 50% of Yahoo, ESPN, and Sleeper Leagues.

Quarterbacks

Ryan Tannehill

In Week 10, Ryan threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns. In Week 11, he threw for 333 yards and two touchdowns. He is healthy, and the Titans’ passing game is clicking. With 250 yards and multiple touchdowns in 2 straight games, I am willing to add and play him if I need a quarterback in Week 12. I have written about him a few times here, and that is because he tends to throw for two touchdowns a game in the home stretch of the season.

Other quarterbacks to consider if you are desperate:

  • Marcus Mariota – high floor play with two touchdowns in each of the last two games
  • Andy Dalton – 260 yards, 3 Touchdowns in Week 11
  • Trevor Siemian – For two-quarterback leagues, if Justin Fields misses time

Running Backs

Samaje Perine

Perine took over when Joe Mixon went into concussion protocol during the game in Week 11. I am still determining if Mixon will play or not in Week 12. I know that Perine had 30 yards rushing on 11 carries, four receptions for 52 yards, and three receiving touchdowns. If you need running back help for Week 12, he looks like he is stepping up to the plate to help you.

8% rostered on Yahoo

Latavius Murray

I am writing about him because I feel I must. I am not adding him myself. He has double-digit scores in 2 of the last three games. He had 21 total touches in Week 11. 17 carries for 49 yards, a touchdown, and four receptions for 23 yards. Suppose he can keep this volume; that makes him usable weekly. If you are needy or relatively needy at running back, I suggest giving him as an add. The rest of the season schedule is very easy. Murray is my top add at running back, with the Broncos waiving Melvin Gordon.

23% rostered on Yahoo

Other running backs to consider if you are desperate:

  • Cam Akers – 14 carries, 61 yards
  • James Cook – 11 carries, 86 yards

NOTE: I do not love these options at running back, and you need to pay attention to whether Mixon is playing. I don’t want anyone overvaluing Perine.

Wide Receivers

Treylon Burks

The odds were that 2 out of 10 people have been holding and waiting for this breakout game all season. In Week 11, Burks had eight targets which he turned in 7 receptions and 111 yards. The Titans’ passing game, as mentioned earlier in the article, is looking better. That may be because both Burks and Tannehill are not injured any longer. Burks had a 29% target share in Week 11. He is a GREAT add at wide receiver this week.

20% rostered on Yahoo
22% on ESPN

Darius Slayton

I talked about Slayton here last week. He has double-digit scores in 3 of the previous four games. That is a 24% target share in Week 10. He continued with a 23% target share in Week 11. Wan’Dale Robinson is now out with a torn ACL.  The Giants’ schedule is very friendly the rest of the way. Only two tough matchups on the schedule for the rest of the season. Slayton should be rostered everywhere.

51% rostered on Yahoo
21% on ESPN
57% on Sleeper

Demarcus Robinson

A massive 27% target share for the Ravens in Week 11. That was nine targets which he turned into nine receptions for 128 yards. His target share and snap counts have increased in the past three games in the past three weeks. This combination and a super easy schedule make him an add for the next six games. With 4 of the following 6 Ravens, opponents are bottom ten against defending wide receivers. I love him as an add this week.

5% rostered on Yahoo
0% on ESPN
10% on Sleeper

Other wide receivers to consider:

  • Donavan Peoples-Jones – 6 targets, five receptions, 61 yards, TD (here again)
  • Parris Campbell – 6 Targets, five receptions, 67 yards
  • Robert Woods – 7 Targets, six receptions, 69 yards
  • Richie James – 3 Targets, three receptions, 62 yards, TD

NOTE: I like all nine wide receivers I have mentioned here. I would order them for addition exactly the way I have them ordered here.

Tight Ends

Juwan Johnson

I am writing about Johnson again. Johnson has double-digit fantasy scores in four out of the last five games. He has five touchdowns over that span, which leads the Saints. Three straight weeks with double-digit scores, three consecutive weeks with over 40 yards and a touchdown. If Dalton stays at quarterback, Johnson will be his safety blanket. I am almost copying and pasting this right now.

30% rostered on Yahoo
19% on ESPN
31% rostered on Sleeper
15% Free Agent Budget

Austin Hooper

Tannehill throws the ball a lot to tight ends. I was high on Hooper this season because of that, then Tannehill got hurt. Well, things look good for this passing game right now. Hooper had 11 targets, nine receptions, 77 yards, and two touchdowns in the past two games. This is a massive uptick in usage. If you are TE needy, and we know you are, he could help you down the stretch. I also had him here last week as a tight end to consider.

12% rostered on Yahoo
6% on ESPN
10% rostered on Sleeper
10% Free Agent Budget

Other tight ends to consider:

  • Logan Thomas – 6 targets, five receptions, 65 yards
  • Jonnu Smith – 1 carry, 5 yards rushing, four targets, four receptions, 40 yards

NOTE: Due to injuries to teammates, guys like Dawson Knox and Tyler Higbee see a considerable uptick in targets. They each had 8 in Week 11. They are rostered in over 50% of leagues, but if available in your league, I would consider adding them based on their volume.

Money Makers and Heart Breakers (Fantasy Football 2022 – Week 11)

 

Week 11 is here. The air feels brisk and clean here in the far northern United States. The leaves have mostly fallen off the trees, and we are preparing for winter.

This week was tough with the bye week and teams not playing in the main slate. But I think I have you covered here with who to play and who to avoid this week (If you can).

One of my favorite movies is Gladiator, starring Russell Crowe as Maximus Aurelius. The general who became enslaved. The enslaved person became a gladiator. The Gladiator defied an emperor.

One of the most famous lines from the movie is when Maximus gives a speech to his troops at the beginning of the film. I am tweaking it here for my purposes.

I will be harvesting my win and playing in the fantasy playoffs five weeks from now. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line! Stay with me! If you are alone, unable to make waiver moves, or set your roster, do not be troubled. You are in Elysium and already dead and out of the playoffs!

The good news is we will still have DFS until the NFL season ends. Stay with me!

Let’s move into Week 11 football.

If you are new here, this column can be used to help you handle some sit/start questions you might have, but its primary purpose is to take you through the main DFS slate weekly with players that will make you money and players that will break your heart.

Here is a brief definition of each of my terms for anyone that might be new:

💰 Money Maker – This player will perform better than expectations

💔 Heart Breaker – This player will perform lower than expectations

💰 Money Makers

Quarterbacks

Justin Fields

The Bears play the Falcons in Week 11. The Falcons give the tenth most fantasy points to opposing teams’ quarterbacks. Fields have had Top 10 quarterback finishes for five straight weeks. Top 5 quarterback finishes in fantasy for four consecutive weeks. And he was the top-scoring quarterback in fantasy two weeks in a row. That is going to be three weeks in a row after Week 11. This is the third game, a super simple three-game stretch for Fields. Please take advantage of it while you can. Play him everywhere you can.

$7,600 on DraftKings
$8,700 on Fanduel

Joe Burrow

In Week 1, Joe Burrow passed for 338 yards and two touchdowns against the Steelers. The Steelers give up the 6th most fantasy points to opposing teams’ quarterbacks. In Week 11, the Bengals play the Steelers. Are you picking up what I am putting down here? Quarterbacks average 279 yards and two touchdowns a week against the Steelers.

$6,800 on DraftKings
$8,300 on Fanduel

Russell Wilson

In Week 11, the Broncos play the Raiders. The Raiders give the second most fantasy points to opposing teams’ quarterbacks. In Week 4, Russell Wilson had his best game of the season. He threw for 237 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another 29 yards and a touchdown. These Raiders bleed fantasy points to quarterbacks. Quarterbacks average 280 total yards and two touchdowns per week against the Raiders. If Wilson is going to have a good day, this is the team it will come against.

$6,900 on Fanduel

Other quarterbacks for Week 11

Daniel Jones

Davis Mills

$6,500 on Fanduel

Dak Prescott

$6,600 on DraftKings

Running Backs

Saquon Barkley

Barkley has double-digit fantasy scores in every single game this season. Barkley has 931 yards and six touchdowns rushing this season. This week the Giants play the Lions. The Lions give up the 7th most fantasy points to opposing teams running backs. Running backs averaged 113 yards and a touchdown rushing per week against the Lions. Barkley will keep his double-digit scoring streak alive in Week 11.

$8,900 on DraftKings
$9,700 on Fanduel

Kenyan Drake

The Panthers give up the fifth most points to opposing teams running backs. Running backs averaged 145 total yards and a touchdown weekly against the Panthers. So guess who the Ravens play in Week 11. That is correct; it’s the Panthers. Drake has double-digit fantasy scores in three of the last four games. The biggest obstacle for him to produce regularly is Gus Edwards getting more carries. Ravens running backs are in heaven in Week 11.

$5,900 on DraftKings
$6,800 on Fanduel

Devin Singletary

In Week 10, Singletary scored two touchdowns. In Week 11, he plays against a Browns defense that has given up 12 double-digit fantasy scores to running backs this season. The Browns give up the second most fantasy points to running backs. With Josh Allen being a little dinged up, we could see Singletary active again, especially against a defense you can run on. Another double-digit score in 11 for Singletary.

$5,800 on DraftKings
$6,400 on Fanduel

NOTE: There may be a lot of snow on the ground in Buffalo for this game which probably means an increase work load for Singletary.

Other Running backs for Week 11

Brian Robinson

$5,300 on DraftKings

Cordarelle Patterson

$6,700 on Fanduel

David Montgomery

Wide Receivers

CeeDee Lamb

CeeDee has a 32% target share of the Cowboys’ passing game. He also has 41% of the air yards. In Week 10, he had a tough matchup. In Week 10, Lamb had 15 targets that produced 11 receptions, 150 yards, and two touchdowns.  In Week 11, he plays against the Vikings who give up the 4th most fantasy points to opposing teams’ wide receivers. The Vikings have given up 12 double-digit fantasy days to wide receivers. In Week 10, Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis scored 18 fantasy points against this Vikings’ defense. Wide receivers average 199 yards and a touchdown against the Vikings. We will be looking at a massive day for Lamb.

$7,500 on DraftKings
$8,100 on Fanduel

Tee Higgins

Fourteen wide receivers have had double-digit scoring days against the Steelers this season. The Steelers give the second most points to opposing teams’ wide receivers. Ja’Marr Chase is out, meaning Higgins and Tyler Boyd get the lion’s share of the targets. Higgins has double-digit fantasy scores in two of his last three games. It’s easy to pass on the Steelers. So it makes sense to play Higgins in a stellar match-up.

$7,100 on DraftKings
$7,600 on Fanduel

Nico Collins

Collins had ten targets, five receptions, 49 yards, and a touchdown in Week 10. In Week 11, the Texans play the Commanders. The Commanders give up the 9th most fantasy points to opposing teams’ wide receivers. Collins had a 27% target share in Week 11. The match-up is good, the target share is up, and the Texans’ passing game will produce in Week 11.

$4,100 on DraftKings
$5,900 on Fanduel

Other Wide Receivers for Week 11

Darius Slayton

$5,000 on DraftKings
$6,300 on Fanduel

Darnell Mooney

$5,400 on DraftKings
$6,000 on Fanduel

Christian Olave

$6,800 on DraftKings
$6,900 on Fanduel

Tight Ends

Tyler Conklin

In Week 11, the Jets play the Patriots. The Patriots give up the 6th most points to opposing teams’ tight ends. In Week 8 against this same Patriots defense, Conklin had six receptions, 79 yards, and two touchdowns. Conklin has the second most targets on the Jets with 51. He also leads the Jets in receiving touchdowns.

$3,400 on DraftKings
$5,000 on Fanduel

Tyler Higbee

I wrote about Higbee here last week. Higbee plays 80% of the snaps and has a 20% target share for the Rams on the season. The Rams lost Cooper Kupp to an ankle injury in Week 10. Higbee answered the call with eight targets, eight receptions, and 73 yards. The Rams play the Saints in the worst match-up for a tight end, but the volume will be there. Higbee is the player most involved in the Rams’ passing game, with Kupp being out.

$4,000 on DraftKings
$6,200 on Fanduel

Cole Kmet

The Bears play the Falcons in Week 11. Kmet has been on fire the past two weeks, coinciding with Fields being the best quarterback in fantasy. In these two games, Kmet leads the Bears in targets with 13. He turned those targets into nine receptions, 115 yards, and four touchdowns. Kmet has scored five touchdowns in total in the past three games. Kmet is someone I will be stacking with Fields often in Week 11.

$4,100 on DraftKings
$5,700 on Fanduel

Other Tight Ends for Week 11

Dalton Schultz

$4,30 on DraftKings
$5,900 on Fanduel

Greg Dulcich

$3,800 on DraftKings
$5,500 on Fanduel

💔Heart Breakers

Quarter Backs

Derek Carr

The Broncos give the least amount of fantasy points to opposing teams’ quarterbacks. In Week 4, the Raiders played the Broncos, and Carr passed for 188 yards with no touchdowns and ran for another 40 yards. Only three quarterbacks have even scored double-digit fantasy points against the Broncos this season. No one has surpassed 20 fantasy points. Therefore, I do not advise playing Carr anywhere.

Matt Ryan

The Colts’ offense has struggled at times this season. The Eagles’ defense has excelled this season. The Eagles give up the second least amount of fantasy points to opposing teams’ quarterbacks. Ryan has only scored over 20 fantasy points twice this season, and the Eagles defense hasn’t allowed a quarterback to score more than 17. You probably aren’t playing him; keep it that way.

Kenny Pickett

This is me finding a super easy call to make. Sometimes I like to do that. You were probably only playing Pickett in two-quarterback or maybe a Superflex league, anyways. In fantasy, the Bengals give up the third-fewest points to opposing teams’ quarterbacks. Sit him everywhere; there is nothing to see here. Like, don’t even watch the game if you can help it.

Running Backs

Michael Carter

The Patriots give up the second-fewest points to running backs. The Patriots’ defense stops running backs from doing much of anything. You may have to play Carter or Robinson from the Jets backfield this week in season-long. I understand, do not play them in DFS, and keep your expectations low.

Dameon Pierce

In a tough matchup last week, Pierce still managed double-digit fantasy points. He has another tough match-up in Week 11 with the Commanders’ defense. I do not doubt that he will score double-digit fantasy points again. He seems to find a way, but we are looking at low double digits here. As a result, I am playing him for season-long and avoiding him in DFS.

Dalvin Cook

The Cowboys give up the fifth-fewest points to running backs in fantasy. However, the Cowboys’ defense is an excellent real-life defense. Aaron Jones did manage to scorch this Dallas defense, so there is hope. And yes, if you have him in season-long, you are playing. But I am not willing to roll the dice in DFS. Only four running backs have had double-digit fantasy days against this defense.

Wide Receivers

DeVonta Smith

The Colts give up the second-fewest points to opposing teams’ wide receivers. Combine that with AJ Brown potentially out, and I wouldn’t say I like the matchup at all for Smith. Smith has been up and down as it is this season. This is a down week. A bad match-up where he may get all of the defensive attention in the secondary.

Terry McClaurin

McClaurin is getting some heavy volume since Heinicke has taken over for the Commanders at quarterback. I like him a lot. I wouldn’t say I liked the matchup. The Texans give up the third-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers. The Commanders will likely do like everyone else and run the living daylights out of the ball against the Texans. Which will take away the volume from McLaurin.

Dionte Johnson

The Bengals’ defense is tough against the pass. In Week 1, Johnson only managed 55 yards on seven receptions against the Bengals’ defense. Johnson also is having a very down season with Pickett at quarterback. He misses Big Ben’s noodle arm like a mom misses her child on the first day of kindergarten. YUCK!

Tight Ends

Jordan Akins

Someone may have thought it cute to play Akins based on what he did in Week 10. He had 72 yards against the Giants. The Commanders give up the second-fewest points to opposing teams’ tight ends. Akins isn’t exactly a world-beater. I doubt we see that yardage or anything else from him in Week 11.

Juwan Johnson

The Saints play the Rams in Week 11. The Rams are one of the toughest teams against tight ends there is. Only two tight ends have got double-digit fantasy days against the Rams. Of course, they needed a touchdown to do it. Neither of them scored more than 15 points. I have liked Johnson’s usage as of late. But this isn’t the week to stream him or plug him into a DFS lineup.

Dawson Knox

Dawson Knox saw six targets in Week 10. That tied his season high. The Browns are a top 5 defense against tight ends. There isn’t much to see here. Knox isn’t seeing six targets and isn’t scoring a touchdown. Don’t get cute. Just avoid this one all the way around.

Good luck this week!

Review from Week 10

Justin Herbert – Finished QB24 on the week, excellent trim.  He has no weapons, but his schedule improves so that he may improve for the rest of the season.

Nyheim Hines – Finished RB58 on the week, excellent trim.  James Cook is looking like the complimentary back for this offense.

Robert Woods – Finished WR80 on the week, excellent trim.  He got seven targets but only two receptions for 10 yards.  Things might start opening up for him if Tannehill gets healthier, but I still don’t want any pass catchers in this offense.

This is when every position on your roster counts, as every win and point matters now. Tiebreakers and playoff push become important now, so make sure you follow Mike Reedy’s Untangling the Wire to get in some excellent players with excellent playoff schedules.

Jared Goff (QB – Detroit Lions)

Rostership Percentages:
Yahoo – 57% Ownership
ESPN – 38% Ownership
Sleeper – 62% Ownership (Includes dynasty)
Season Ranking – QB17
Week 8 Finish – QB16
Week 9 Finish – QB19
Week 10 Finish – QB22

Not the same as it was at the beginning of the year; the Lions’ offense has been mainly through the run game as of late.  On top of that, the Lions have a brutal schedule that will make it tough to start Goff confidently. Look to streaming with others going forward.

Keenan Allen (WR – Los Angeles Chargers)

Rostership Percentages:
Yahoo – 93% Ownership
ESPN – 93% Ownership
Sleeper – 95% Ownership (Includes dynasty)
Season Ranking – WR139

It is time we move on from Keenan Allen for the NFL 2022 season.  He hasn’t played since Week 7, and you can’t trust him to finish a game at this point.  He said he wouldn’t play unless he is 100%, but who knows when that is? He clogs your roster if you can’t place him on an IR spot.

There are so many other options to put on here with all the injuries, so I’ll keep it short and sweet since most of us will be trimming involuntarily.  Good luck to everyone making their playoff push!

Untangling the Waiver Wire (Fantasy Football 2022 – Week 11)

It’s one of the most magical times of the year. The time of year when people argue over whether or not you can play Christmas music or put up a Christmas tree because Thanksgiving hasn’t happened yet. There is nothing like listening to family and friends argue about something that doesn’t matter as if it is the end of the world.

If you want to put your tree up, please do it. Play that Christmas music if you like it so much. If you want to wait until after Thanksgiving, please wait until after Thanksgiving. It’s more than OK if everyone does what makes themselves happy here, not what makes you happy.

I laugh at family members who get upset about what someone else is doing in their house. Do you know why I laugh? Because it just doesn’t matter.

It doesn’t matter if you put your tree up or if I never put mine up. It doesn’t matter if you listen to Christmas music in November or wait until December. It doesn’t matter if you wish me Happy Holidays, Thanksgiving, or Merry Christmas.

What does matter? What matters is that you are good to people you care about and let them know you care. Not just this magical time of year but all year long.

May your Waiver Wire Dreams come true tonight!

NOTE: If you are new here, this column refers to players rostered in under 50% of Yahoo, ESPN, and Sleeper Leagues.

Quarterbacks

Ryan Tannehill

Tannehill was back in the lineup in Week 10. The Titans played against the Broncos, who have given up the least amount of points to quarterbacks in fantasy this season. Tannehill scored the most fantasy points against the Broncos for any quarterback this season. He threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns. The schedule is tough, but if you are QB-needy, we have seen Tannehill be valuable down the stretch in the past season, as he tends to throw multiple touchdowns weekly.

Matt Ryan

Jeff Saturday decides to put Ryan back in as the starter for the Colts. Jonathan Taylor is finally healthy. Immediately Parris Campbell becomes fantasy relevant again, and the Colts win the game in Week 10. Ryan gave us 222 yards, a passing touchdown, another 38 yards, and a rushing touchdown. He will be usable if you need a quarterback.

Other quarterbacks to consider if you are desperate:

  • Marcus Mariota – Super easy playoff schedule.
  • Kenny Pickett – The schedule from Week 13 through the playoffs is the easiest.

Running Backs

Rachaad White

White played 80% of the snaps after Fournette was injured in the third quarter. For the game in Week 10, he had 22 carries which he turned into 105 yards. The Buccaneers are on bye in Week 11, but I would add him if I needed a running back, as he is starting to trend up.

Jaylen Warren

He is on bye in Week 9. He had six carries for 50 yards rushing and three receptions for 25 yards receiving. His snaps went up from 30% to 43% in Week 10. He had nine carries for 37 yards rushing and three targets which he turned into three receptions for 40 Yards. The Steelers are turning more into a running back by-committee team. I would add Warren if I needed a running back. I mentioned him here last week as well.

27% rostered on Yahoo
11% on ESPN
36% on Sleeper
5% Free Agent Budget

Other running backs to consider if you are desperate:

  • Isiah Pacheco – 56% of snaps in Week 10. 82 yards rushing.
  • Jerick McKinnon – 37% snap share in week 10. Eight targets, six receptions, 56 yards. Strong PPR add with the Chiefs wide receivers getting beat up.

Wide Receivers

Darius Slayton

Double-digit scores in 3 of the last five games. He led the Giants in targets with 4. That is a 24% target share. He also led the Giants in targets in Week 8 with 6, which was a 19% target share. He has 30% of the Giants’ air yards on the season. To top it off, the Giants’ schedule is friendly the rest of the way. Only two tough matchups on the schedule for the rest of the season.

Nico Collins

Collins has missed some time injured. The Texans have had a relatively tough schedule as well. Well, the schedule lightens up the rest of the way. If you were following me telling you to be all over adding Kirk if possible, for when the easy part of his schedule came, then you should understand guys like Collins and Brandin Cooks should start producing now as the Texan schedule for wide receivers is the easiest there is for the rest of the season. In the remaining seven games, they face five bottom-10 defenses against wide receivers and two mediocre defenses against wide receivers. The playoff schedule is exceptionally nice. He will be a flex play the rest of the way.

Parris Campbell

I am adding and playing Campbell if Matt Ryan starts the rest of the season. He shared the lead for targets in Week 10 with Michael Pittman, as they each had 9. That is a 32% target share for each one of them. The branches on this passing tree are essentially 2. The two guys had 64% of the total targets from Matt Ryan. I like him as the best add at wide receiver this week.

Other wide receivers to consider:

  • Nick Westbrook-Ikhine – 8 targets, five receptions, 119 yards, 2 TDs.
  • Kadarius Toney – 2 carries, 33 yards rushing, five targets, four receptions, 57 yards, TD.
  • Donovan Peoples-Jones – 9 targets, five receptions, 99 yards.
  • Christian Watson – 8 Targets, four receptions, 107 yards, 3 TDs.

NOTE: Watson is someone I feel like everyone will be writing about. The efficiency was terrific, with three touchdowns on four receptions for Watson. He is definitely worth the flyer. Watson had 40% of the target share as well. But, yes, there is a but, Aaron Rodgers only completed 14 passes on the day. Speculative add only.

Tight Ends

Juwan Johnson

Johnson has double-digit fantasy scores in three out of the last four games. He has four touchdowns over that span, which leads the Saints. He had seven targets for five receptions, 44 yards, and a touchdown in Week 10. He led the Saints in targets with 7, which was a 26% target share. If Dalton stays at quarterback, Johnson will be his safety blanket.

Foster Moreau

I never thought we would be back on the island of Foster Moreau, but here we are. Darren Waller is out, and Hunter Renfrow is out. Both of those guys are on IR. That opens the door for Moreau to at least be helpful as the middle-of-the-field target for the Raiders. In Week 10, Moreau had four targets which he turned into three receptions, 43 yards, and a touchdown. He should at least be useful in fantasy for the next three weeks. He could be a good play with the Broncos, the Seahawks, and the Chargers.

Other tight ends to consider:

  • Austin Hooper – 7 targets, five receptions, 41 yards.
  • Hayden Hurst – Coming off the bye, he was dropped everywhere.

NOTE: Cole Kmet is only 59% rostered; if available, he should be your top add at the tight end position.
