Due to injuries, the once feared Ravens’ defense has become vulnerable
to the pass, allowing opposing wideouts the most fantasy points
in the league by a wide margin (56.7 FPts/G). So it’s time for the
Bills offense to take advantage of the situation. Stefon Diggs will
always get his points, but the now healthy Davis (ankle) will become
what fantasy owners hoped he would be when they drafted him. He
produced on opening day against the Rams (18.8 points), missed Week
2 and was mostly a bystander in Week 3, but he should be back in
the spotlight in Week 4.
In Jimmy Garoppolo’s first start this season, he targeted Aiyuk
as many times as he did star wideout Deebo Samuel. Though Aiyuk
only caught three of the eight targets, I like the volume. In
seven of the final 10 games last season, Aiyuk produced double-digit
points and only once did he see more than eight targets.
CeeDee Lamb is the most talented of the Cowboys receivers, but
quarterback Cooper Rush has a lot of confidence in Noah Brown
too. Brown has produced more consistently than even Lamb, posting
double-digit fantasy points in all three games. Meanwhile, the
Commanders rank 30th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wideouts
(48.5 FPts/G), so both Lamb and Brown should be fantasy-worthy.
Grab some Pine
1) Any Rams receiver not named Cooper Kupp @ San Francisco
The volume simply isn’t there to sustain any receiver other than
Kupp. Ben Skowronek
(13 targets) and Allen
Robinson (12) are both well behind Kupp (35) and tight end Tyler
Higbee (24) in opportunities to produce and therefore must sit
until that changes. Also, the 49ers’ pass defense is ranked No.2
in fantasy points allowed (26.6) to opposing wideouts.
Lazard may be called the Packers’ No.1 receiver, but having watched
the progression of rookie Romeo Doubs, I believe he’s the guy
Aaron Rodgers will look to for the big play. The Patriots rank
No. 4 against wide receivers allowing just 28 FPts/G and Head
Coach Bill Belichick loves to take away a team’s first option.
The Bears’ offense has produced just 235 passing yards
in three games. That’s total yards, not average yards. By
contrast, the next worst team, the Carolina Panthers have 484
passing yards, more than twice the Bears total. Stop waiting for
Mooney and Justin Fields to find “it” and start someone
else.
