The Shot Caller's Report - Wk 15 Wide Receivers

Van Jefferson

Van Jefferson vs SEA


Jefferson has been hot over the last three weeks, racking up 20 targets and 3 scores. With OBJ at risk of missing the week on Covid IR, Jefferson could be the No.2 receiver for the Rams against a beatable Seattle secondary. He’s become the defacto deep threat with the release of DeSean Jackson and makes for a quality upside WR3 for the opening of the fantasy playoffs.

Chase Claypool vs TEN

The last time we saw Claypool he was celebrating a first down while the time ticked down in a close loss to the Vikings. After being pounded relentlessly on social media, the news cycle moved on, and now the Titans loom in a must-win game for Pittsburgh. With only 1 touchdown on the season (a far cry off his rookie year pace), I think Claypool works to make amends against a secondary that lacks the talent to shut him down. If he can stop being his own worst enemy, the upside is tremendous.

Christian Kirk @ DET

With the news that DeAndre Hopkins is likely to miss the remainder of the regular season, Kirk, who was already having the best season of his career, vaults up a spot in the Arizona pecking order. He serves as the big play threat between an aging vet and a rookie who catches every pass near the line of scrimmage. With the league in disarray, Kirk has a decent floor and potentially massive ceiling.

DK Metcalf @ LAR

Has a mysterious foot injury really been the reason Metcalf has disappeared over the last month-plus? While defenses have nearly totally eliminated the deep ball to Metcalf, teammate Tyler Lockett is the best, most efficient deep threat in the NFL. Metcalf hasn’t been over 100 yards since Week 3, and hasn’t scored since Week 8. With a rested Jalen Ramsay ready to rumble, I can’t trust Metcalf as more than a low floor WR3 right now.

Michael Pittman Jr. vs NE

Pittman has cooled a bit after a smoking hot stretch in the middle of the season, and the matchup is brutal. The last receiver to go over 55 yards in a game against the Pats was Keenan Allen’s 77 yards in Week 8. I think this is going to be a physical, low scoring game with both teams trying to assert their will in the trenches and Carson Wentz doing something dumb.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling @ BAL

With the passing game funneling through Davante Adams and Aaron Jones, MVS competes with Allen Lazard for the scraps. In a regular season game I might be willing to roll with the hyphenated one, but in the one-and-done world of the playoffs, I need more reliable options, even against a weak Baltimore secondary.
