The struggles of the Tampa offense have been well documented,
but a hidden positive has been Godwin’s improvement as he
continues to get all the way back from his ACL tear. He hasn’t
found the endzone yet in 2022, but it’s only a matter of
time, as he’s seen 36 targets over the last three games,
and has at least 6 receptions in every game since the opener.
As he operates closer to the line of scrimmage, his floor is higher,
and a couple of scores will make him a serious asset down the
fantasy stretch.
The Baltimore secondary has improved since being consistently
torched early in the season, but they didn’t have an answer for
Mike Evans last week, and yielded a double 70 spot to Cooper and
DPJ in Week 7 against the Browns. Olave has carried this passing
game since Week 1, and should find room to roam against a defense
keyed on stopping Alvin Kamara.
The Bengal passing attack looked quite meager in their first
game sans Ja’Marr Chase. They clearly missed his run after
the catch ability, and there wasn’t nearly the room in the
secondary for Higgins and Boyd to work. I think Burrow and the
coaching staff will adjust, and Higgins has week winning talent.
Carolina has been scrappy, but they’ve been prone to giving
up big plays.
London has all but disappeared from the fantasy radar after a
strong start to the season. After seeing 25 targets over the first
three games, London has only seen 10 over the last three games.
He hasn’t crossed 54 yards since Week 2, and I think Atlanta
pounds the ball on the ground this week against a soft Charger
front.
Injuries and a different offense have sunk Renfrow’s value after
a breakout 2021. Even the loss of Darren Waller hasn’t elevated
Renfrow’s role. Mack Hollins is hogging the scraps left over from
Davante Adams and Derek Carr has peaked, so Renfrow’s value, even
in PPR, is a mirage.
Jets WRs vs BUF
Injured, disgruntled, and catching passes from a frantic QB,
this position group from the Jets leaves much to be desired, especially
against an elite Bills pass defense. Even with injuries in the
back end, Buffalo leans on a ferocious pass rush to force quarterbacks
into uncomfortable situations. Breece Hall was the MVP of this
team, and he isn’t waking back through the door.
