Even at less than 100%, Jordan Love brought the Packer pass game
back to life last week in a thrilling loss to the Vikings. With
Watson out with an ankle injury, the targets can be consolidated
between Dontayvion Wicks, Jayden Reed, and Romeo Doubs. Against
a floundering Rams defense all three receivers could realistically
find a place in lineups this week.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease in London, as Wilson seems
a bit unhappy with his role in this version of the Jets offense.
Yet to get on the same page with his HOF quarterback, look for
the Jets to feature him early and often against a Viking defense
yielding the 4th most points to fantasy receivers.
Cooper was a shaky holding penalty away from an 82-yard score
last weekend, and although he’s been a major disappointment
so far, the Commander secondary is a unit to target. Cooper has
seen a healthy 37 targets this season, but is being dragged down
by poor quarterback play. With the offensive getting healthier,
Cooper should see his efficiency increase, especially if the Browns
want to showcase him for a potential trade.
If you’ve waited this long to set sail on Pitts you are
a better person than I. Despite elite measurables, and a record
tickling rookie season, Pitts hasn’t been able to develop
as a football player. Despite the need for a WR3 in the offense,
Atlanta has gotten nothing from the former top-10 pick, and there
is absolutely no reason to believe it's going to happen Thursday
night.
The murderer's row of receivers that Denver corner Pat Surtain has
put on lockdown is becoming legendary at this point. Metcalf, Pickens,
Evans, and Garrett Wilson have all been bottled up, as none of them
could surpass 41 yards against the boundary defender. With no Davante
Adams, Surtain can lock down Myers and leave the rest for his teammates
to handle. This is a brutal matchup for Meyers any way to slice
it.
Don’t be so quick to assume Worthy will see an uptick in
looks with Rashee Rice down, as his role in the passing game is
much different than his teammate. He will continue to be schemed
a few touches a game, and will be good for a deep attempt or two,
but he’s still way too volatile to trust right now.
