1) Emmanuel Sanders vs Miami

The Dolphins pass defense has been ugly this season, allowing 44.9 FPts/G (ranked 30th). They have allowed 16 double-digit receivers in just seven games, meaning more than just the WR1 is likely to produce big numbers. Sanders has seen consistent usage (6.5 targets per game) and is averaging 18.5 FPts/G since Week 3.

2) Courtland Sutton vs Washington

Against the worst pass defense in the league, it’s all hands on deck for the Broncos receiving corps. Everyone wants a shot at the WFT secondary. The return of Jerry Jeudy shouldn’t dissuade you from starting Sutton or Tim Patrick. Jeudy will likely be on a snap count so Sutton should still be the No. 1 option for Teddy Bridgewater. Sutton has averaged 20.1 FPts/G since Week 5.

3) Michael Pittman Jr. vs. Tennessee

With T.Y. Hilton likely still sidelined (isn’t he always?) and Parris Campbell on IR, the receiving work has been up to Pittman and the tight ends. Pittman has been hot since Week 2 except for a blowout win against Houston (31-3 in Week 6) in which he wasn’t needed. He’s averaging 15.5 FPts/G over the past six games. The Titans have allowed the most passing yards in the league to wideouts (1583 yards) along with 10 touchdowns.

Grab some Pine

1) Jakobi Meyers at Los Angeles Chargers

Meyers is the Patriots’ leading receiver this season in targets (59) and yards (390), but he’s still never reached the end zone (except as a passer) and that greatly limits his fantasy ceiling. Against the No. 1 defense, yielding just 25.8 FPts/G to opposing wideouts, that isn’t likely to change. Terry McLaurin couldn’t score on this defense. Neither could, CeeDee Lamb, Amari Cooper, OBJ, Marquise Brown or Tyreek Hill, so what chance does Meyers have?

2) Jaylen Waddle at Buffalo

Waddle has produced double-digit points in 5-of-7 games this season with a high of 29 points against Jacksonville, but the Bills defense is a little better than the Jaguars. They held Waddle to just 48 yards in Week 2 and have allowed only two touchdown passes to wide receivers all season.

3) Tyler Boyd at New York Jets

Boyd has become the “third wheel” of the Bengals receiving corps behind rookie sensation Ja’Marr Chase and second-year Tee Higgins. Against a Jets team that is No. 32 against RBs and No. 4 against wide receivers, it’s likely that he won’t be called upon to do much. This should be the “Joe Mixon Show” with Joe Burrows-to-Chase and Higgins only when needed. Sorry, Boyd gets left out in the cold.
