The Washington Commanders are yielding 52.1 FPts/G to opposing
wideouts, so not only will rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. thrive,
but so will the rest of the receiver room. Trey McBride, the talented
tight end is in concussion protocol, so expect to see a lot of
three wideout sets. Wilson has caught 11-of-13 targets and Dortch
11-of-16. They will get busy this weekend.
You can’t run against the Lions, but teams sure have been successful
throwing the ball. Detroit has yielded 44.9 FPts/G to opposing
wideouts, ranking them 31st in the league. DK Metcalf will obviously
get his, but “JSN” is second on the team in targets, ahead of
Tyler Lockett, and we expect big things from him in this primetime
Monday shootout.
Moore has been getting the target workload fantasy owners hoped
for (28), but he’s been inefficient with them. Just 167
receiving yards and zero touchdowns through three games. The Rams
have given up the big play (16.4 yards-per-reception) and the
second-most touchdowns to wideouts (6). This bodes well for Moore
and his rookie quarterback.
Garrett Wilson and his quarterback Aaron Rodgers have been lamenting
the fact he sees double teams almost 100% of the time. That might
not be the case in Week 4, but that doesn’t mean Wilson
will run free. Patrick Surtain II will likely shadow Wilson all
over the field and he’s one of the best. As a whole, the
Broncos rank No.1 against opposing receivers allowing just 19
fantasy points a game. Rodgers has shown that he won’t force
the issue and will find the open receiver anywhere.
The Seahawks have allowed a league-low 237 receiving yards to
opposing wideouts and are allowing just 19.2 FPts/G. If Amon-Ra
St. Brown gets his share, that doesn’t leave much for the
rest of the wideout room. If you start Williams, you are looking
for that one long touchdown pass, because he’s not the volume
guy.
Tua Tagovailoa is out with his usual concussion issues. Backup
Skylar Thompson is battling a rib injury. If they can’t
go, then you are hoping for a miracle from either Tim Boyle or
newly signed Tyler Huntley (he’s been in the system for
eight days). Either way, these Dolphins won’t be throwing
the ball all over the field. Mike McDaniel will keep the offense
simple and mostly on the ground. It’s hard to start either
given the situation. The Titans’ pass defense has yet to
allow a touchdown pass to an opposing receiver.
