The Shot Caller's Report - Wk 18 Wide Receivers



By Steve Schwarz | 1/6/22
Bye Weeks: N/A
QBs | RBs | WRs

Amon-Ra St. Brown

Grab a Helmet

1) Amon-Ra St. Brown vs. Green Bay

The fourth-round draft pick out of USC has continued to impress since Week 13. In the five games since then he’s seen double-digit targets and ranks No. 2 behind only record-setting Cooper Kupp averaging 24.6 FPts/G. Even receiving passes from backup Tim Boyle didn’t slow him down. The Packers will be using backups and practice squad guys all day having locked up the NFC bye in Week 17.

2) Darnell Mooney @ Minnesota

Mooney enjoys having Andy Dalton back under center, seeing 13 more targets in Week 17. In Dalton’s last four starts, he’s seen 41 targets and caught 22 for 340 yards and a couple of scores. The Vikings are the leagues’ worst defense against opposing fantasy receivers allowing 42.2 FPts/G.

3) Brandin Cooks vs. Tennessee

The Titans rank 30th in wide receiver fantasy points allowed (40.1 FPts/G). Meanwhile, Cooks continues to produce despite inferior quarterback play. He’s seen double-digit targets in three straight games and produced 24.4 FPts/G over that span. Good receiver plus bad pass defense equals “must start.”

Grab some Pine

1) Braxton Berrios @ Buffalo

Berrios stunned the fantasy world last weekend with 27.7 fantasy points, but the Bills are No. 1 against opposing WRs allowing just 25.2 FPts/G to all receivers. The Bills are playing for a division title, at home, in expected windy weather (39 degrees and winds 15-20 mph). Lightning won’t strike twice.

2) Keenan Allen @ Las Vegas

Vegas’ secondary has played very well this season and ranks No. 3 against opposing wide receivers while allowing just 10 touchdown passes. In their first meeting, the Raiders held Allen to seven catches for 36 yards. In Week 15 of 2020 they held Allen to one catch for 17 yards in Allegiant Stadium. They seem to have his number.

3) Jakobi Meyers @ Miami

Meyers, who entered the 2021 season with zero touchdown catches (but two touchdown passes), has two in the last six games, but this weekend isn’t likely to add to that total. Since Week 13, the Dolphins defense has allowed just 320 yards and zero touchdown receptions to opposing wideouts.
