Slayton led the Giants in targets (7), receptions (6) and yardage
(79) last week in Green Bay. It was his best effort of the season
since returning from injury. With wideouts Kenny Golladay and
Kadarius Toney still missing in action, Slayton again should see
a heavy workload against a Ravens’ pass defense ranked next-to-last
(44.7 FPts/G).
The Rams’ run defense is excellent, but their pass defense has
been horrible. They are allowing 42 fantasy points a game. D.J.
Moore is still the guy to have over Robbie Anderson, who hasn’t
done anything since Week 1. P.J. Walker can’t be any worse than
Baker Mayfield (likely out 2-6 weeks with a high-ankle sprain).
Despite everything the Bears’ pass game has been through, Mooney
is still their best option, and led them in targets again last
weekend in Minnesota. The Commanders are a bottom-five pass defense
allowing wideouts 41.1 FPts/G. One of these days Mooney might
even score. Maybe this Sunday.
The Colts are No.1 against opposing wideouts allowing just 25.5
FPts/G. That’s not a lot to divide up between Kirk, Zay Jones,
Marvin Jones and Jamal Agnew. Kirk has produced just 10.4 fantasy
points the past two games. This isn’t the week he breaks out of
his slump.
The Broncos are one of three teams to have allowed just one touchdown
pass through five games (also Houston and Cincinnati). They also
allow just 26.7 FPts/G to opposing wideouts. Given that Mike Williams
will likely get his share, that won’t leave much for Palmer or
Carter. And none what-so-ever if Keenan Allen returns to action.
3) Any Arizona WR not named Hollywood @ Seattle
The Seattle pass defense is ranked fifth in fantasy points allowed
(28.8). And with Marquise Brown dominating the wide receiver targets
(55-of-121) that doesn’t leave Greg Dortch, A.J. Green or
Rondale Moore much to work with. Add in Zach Ertz getting double-digit
targets at TE in three of the last four games and the rest of
the wide receiver room is being phased out… at least until
DeAndre Hopkins returns.
