The Shot Caller's Report - Wk 14 Wide Receivers

Tim Patrick

Grab a Helmet

1) A.J. Brown/Corey Davis at Jacksonville

We think of the Titans as a running team behind Derrick Henry and they do that really well, but Brown and Davis are both top-20 fantasy receivers. In fact, Brown is the most efficient wideout in the league despite his 14th rank only because he doesn’t get as many targets as the “big guys.” Davis is coming off a monster game (35.2 points). They both face a bottom-five Jaguars pass defense which has been even worse over the past five games allowing 46.2 FPts/G.

2) Tim Patrick at Carolina

Carolina’s pass defense was very good to start the season (31.7 FPts/G) over the first eight games, but over the last four games have allowed 44.6 FPts/G which ranks 30th. For that reason I like the Broncos’ most consistent receiver - Tim Patrick. Throwing out the Saints game where Denver didn’t have a quarterback on its active roster, Patrick has produced double-digits in four straight games and 7-of-8 games. He could go big here.

3) Mike Williams vs. Atlanta

The Atlanta defense is one of the worst in the league and only slightly better since November allowing 42.6 FPts/G to opposing wideouts. Obviously, Keenan Allen and running back Austin Ekeler will get their share of targets, but head coach Anthony Lynn did just say that rookie quarterback Justin Herbert was concentrating his targets on too few players (in other words spread the ball around please). Mike Williams is the next best option, particularly in the red zone.

Grab some Pine

1) Julio Jones at Los Angeles Chargers

Yes. He’s a great receiver when healthy, but despite his 6-94-0 effort in Week 13 he’s still dealing with a hamstring and even left the last game for a time with a new knee issue. Also, as in previous seasons, Jones doesn’t seem to know where the end zone is hiding. He’s scored just three times this season and once since Week 6. Teammate Calvin Ridley has seven scores. Meanwhile, the Chargers’ pass defense, led by Joey Bosa, has yielded the fewest WR fantasy points over the past five weeks, allowing just 27.1 FPts/G. Jones will get his targets, but will he do anything useful with them?

2) Christian Kirk at New York Giants

For a time, Kirk was a solid No.2 guy to DeAndre Hopkins. From Week 4-9 he produced double-digits and averaged 18.1 FPts/G. Since then, however, he’s averaged just 5.5 FPts/G and isn’t a viable option, particularly against a new and improved Giants defense.

3) Travis Fulgham vs New Orleans

Travis Fulgham was a surprise contributor to the Eagles for a five-week stretch in the middle of the season, but he’s managed just 7.2 fantasy points over the last four games. That’s total, not a per-game average. And he likely will see plenty of Marshon Lattimore in this game. Stay away, far away.
