Players to Buy
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ offense struggled with a limited rushing attack and a less effective passing game. Travis Etienne led the ground game with 9 carries for 35 yards, averaging 3.9 yards per attempt with a long run of 16 yards. D’Ernest Johnson contributed 12 yards on 3 carries. Etienne, in addition to his role in the rushing game, caught 2 passes on 4 targets for 9 yards. Tank Bigsby can probably be dropped as he’s not even the direct handcuff any more to ETN.
If you can buy-low on ETN after his worst game since Week 2, you go full force.
Breece Hall, with a 70% snap count, contributed 28 yards on 13 carries, while Dalvin Cook added 26 yards on just 4 carries. Hall also showed versatility, catching 3 passes for 47 yards (3 targets). More importantly, he ran a route on 56% of the dropbacks. Buy low after he got a TD score nullified due to a penalty.
The Jets have a very favorable schedule for RBs rest of season. The Jets’ schedule over the second half of the season is JUICY. Bills and Dolphins are up next followed by Falcons, Texans and Dolphins (again). Buy low on Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson.
Jonathan Taylor carried the ball 23 times for 69 yards, averaging 3.0 yards per carry, and scored the only rushing touchdown on one of his 4 red-zone rushing attempts. His longest run was 10 yards. Zach Moss had a minor role in the rushing game with just one carry for 2 yards. Taylor was targeted once in the passing game and made one reception for 6 yards.
It was a full-on takeover by JT. 88% snap share. Taylor is a top-5 running back rest of the season. Buy.
Rico Dowdle led the ground game with 12 carries for 79 yards, averaging an excellent 6.6 yards per carry and scoring a touchdown. His longest run was 21 yards. Tony Pollard added 55 yards on 15 carries. Didn’t score again. Sigh. He was CLOSE a few times yet again – 4 red-zone carries – but it didn’t matter. Everybody else scored rushing TDs expect for Pollard. Woof.
Don’t think Dowdle has a ton of standalone value – Cowboys won’t play Giants every week – but it’s hard to argue the plus-spot versus Carolina to make him FLEX-worthy. At worst he is a high-end handcuff for Pollard managers. In the first half of DAL-NYG, Pollard out-carried Dowdle 11 to 4.
And I sound like a broken record, but I still think buying low on Pollard is the move. The TDs have to come at some point, and the Panthers run defense is horrible. Managers are so sick of him at this point you should be able to get a decent deal.
Brandon Aiyuk also made a significant impact with 55 yards and a touchdown on 3 receptions (3 targets). He remains super efficient and needs to sought after in trades as a result before your league’s trade deadline.
Rinse and repeat folks. After Kittle BOOMs, you sell high. And the same can be said for Samuel if you can get a strong return on an injury prone WR. Because neither of these guys commanded high target shares in Week 10.
He continued his versatile role, catching all 4 of his targets for 30 yards. Kyle Juszczyk also contributed to the passing game, with him catching a touchdown pass.
The Buccaneers and Seahawks round out the next two weeks for the 49ers, followed by the Eagles, Seahawks (again) and Cardinals. It’s a top-5 rest-of-season schedule for QBs and WRs for the rest of the season per the FantasyPros Strength of Schedule tool.
Saquon Barkley finished with 13 carries for 66 yards, averaging 5.1 yards per carry with his longest run being 21 yards. Chipped in 3 targets and came close to scoring on three red-zone rushes. 61% snap share. However, the final stat line is super gracious to how ineffective the offense was. IN the first half, Barkley had 1 rushing yard on 7 carries. Still, the RB streets are tough out there. So, if you are desperate RB I get the buy-low approach to Barkley. Again, they don’t have to face Dallas anymore this season.
David Montgomery led the ground attack with 12 carries for 116 yards, averaging an outstanding 9.7 yards per carry and scoring a touchdown, with his longest run being an impressive 75 yards. Jahmyr Gibbs also had a significant impact, rushing for 77 yards and 2 touchdowns on 14 carries, including a long run of 35 yards. He saw red zone work. 4 red-zone carries to Montgomery’s 4 red-zone carries.
YLTSI. He was involved in the passing game with 3 catches for 35 yards on 5 targets. Also, out-carried Monty 10 to 8 in the first half. Monty had zero targets.
Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR) – 92%
Sam LaPorta (TE) – 80%
Josh Reynolds (WR) – 70%
Jahmyr Gibbs (RB) – 58%
Brock Wright (TE) – 52%
Jameson Williams (WR) – 52%
David Montgomery (RB) – 38%
Kalif Raymond (WR) – 26%
James Mitchell (TE) – 11%
Antoine Green (WR) – 11%— Andrew Erickson™ (@AndrewErickson_) November 13, 2023
All in all, the Lions shocked me by sticking with the rookie as the lead back. Gibbs played 58% of the snaps to Montgomery’s 38%. It’s truly turning to a Mark Ingram/Alvin Kamara circa 2017 where both guys can be used. Considering Montgomery is the cheaper of the two (despite the fact he started) and had two goal-line rushes stuffed at the 1-yard line, he’s the Lions RB to target. It was also Monty’s first game back…so it’s possible this may not be the case moving forward.
DeVonta Smith received 3 targets and caught all 3 passes for 51 yards, including a touchdown.
Goedert had 4 targets, catching 3 passes for 50 yards (hurt toward the end of the game). Goedert is set to miss time and is an injured reserve candidate after suffering a fracture in his forearm.
We saw last year that the Goedert injury fueled Smith to a fantasy WR1 overall finish. Rinse and repeat folks. Buy Smith while he is coming off the bye week and get a fantasy WR1 for the remainder of the season.
Philly has KC, Buffalo, SF and Dallas in their next five weeks. Shootouts as far as the eyes can see.
Cooper Kupp had 1 target. Puka with 4 targets. 8 pass attempts. 3 completions. In the first half of Week 9. Woof.
Kupp and Nacaua would finish with 7 targets each (26% Target share), as did Tutu Artwell. Brett Rypien also had a tough outing, completing just 13 of 28 passes for 130 yards. Kupp was the primary target, but he could only secure 2 receptions for 48 yards.
Kupp’s targets have been solid in back-to-back weeks before the bye week, but the efficiency has been waning dramatically.
Let’s get Matthew Stafford healthy, please. And adding Carson Wentz as insurance is a MASSIVE upgrade over Rypien, despite the overall negative perception around Wentz.
Therefore, all Rams are buy lows, specifically with Nacua who can be acquired at a cheaper cost than Kupp. Just a strong bet on an uber-talented rookie WR. He also technically saw a team-high 8 targets in Week 9 due to penalties. Also owns a 32% Target share on the year.
The Rams post-bye host Seattle. Then it’s Arizona, Seattle (again), Baltimore and Washington
Tyreek Hill was a significant target for Tagovailoa, receiving 10 targets and catching 8 passes for 62 yards. 29% Target share. Jaylen Waddle contributed with 3 receptions for 42 yards on 6 targets (29% target rate per route run, nearly 100 air yards).
Cedrick Wilson played more because of the injury to Waddle early on in the game. He’s a rare WR handcuff for Waddle/Hill.
Waddle’s a buy after a down game because his per-route efficiency was still fantastic. Should be able to get closer to 100% healthy coming after the bye week. Waddle also had a 17-yard gain wiped off the board by a penalty.
Miami has a Las Vegas, New York (Jets), Commanders, Titans, Jets (again) and Cowboys in the next 7 weeks.
DK Metcalf was the primary target for Seattle, making 7 receptions for 98 yards on 12 targets (29% Target share) including the one that set up the game-winning field goal. Saw 53% of the team’s air yards (137) – so there’s meat left on the bone for Metcalf in the stat sheets.
Through 9 healthy games this year, Metcalf still leads the Seahawks in receiving yards. Also has seen 8-plus targets in four of his last 6 games.
Tyler Lockett contributed significantly as well, catching 8 passes for 92 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets (24% Target share).
Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Will Dissly also added to the receiving efforts, with Smith-Njigba catching 4 passes for 53 yards (5 targets) and Dissly adding 22 yards on 2 receptions. JSN’s route participation came back to earth at 67%. Hold with the schedule easing up.
The Rams, 49ers, Cowboys and 49ers again are on deck for Seattle for the next four weeks.
Isiah Pacheco carried the ball 16 times for 66 yards (68% snap share) and dominated the route share back in Week 9. CEH missed the game, and the other Chiefs RBs combined for two carries. The team gained a total of 93 rushing yards with Patrick Mahomes also chipping in ground yardage.
Buy Pacheco. No. 1 SOS for RBs.
The Lions and Vikings are the next 2 matchups for Chicago before a Week 13 bye week.
D.J. Moore emerged as a primary target with 5 receptions for 58 yards on 9 targets (28% Target share, 50% air yards share). Tight end Cole Kmet also played a significant role, securing 5 receptions for 45 yards from 7 targets.
Moore’s production has fallen off a CLIFF since he lost Justin Fields. Buy low with Fields coming back for Week 11. Super underpriced on DraftKings at $5,600.
I like buying low on the Bears especially as we look ahead to DFS. Fields is priced at $6,900 despite being $7,000-plus for the most of 2023.
Rhamondre Stevenson carried the ball 20 times for 88 yards – 3 inside the 20-yard line – averaging 4.4 yards per carry, while Ezekiel Elliott added 54 yards on 13 carries, averaging 4.2 yards per attempt. Elliott, apart from his rushing duties, also caught 2 passes on 2 targets for 34 yards with 4 red-zone carries. Stevenson was involved in the passing game as well, with 5 targets and 3 receptions (19% Target share). His receiving role is keeping him upright and there’s a chance it continues to be fruitful.
67% snap share for Stevenson versus 33% snap share for Elliott. It was also the first game that Mondre reached 20 carries all season. Buy with the Giants smash spot coming up after the bye week.
Kyler Murray contributed significantly to the ground game, rushing for 33 yards and a touchdown on 6 carries, with his longest run being 13 yards. He had three total rushes in the red zone. Looks healthy to me.
Trey McBride was the top target in the receiving corps, catching 8 of his 9 targets (29% Target share) for 131 yards. Big game. Why it took a Zach Ertz an injury to get this man on the field is beyond me.
Rondale Moore contributed 43 yards on 5 receptions from 8 targets (26% Target share).
Michael Wilson and Marquise Brown also made contributions, with Wilson catching 3 passes for 34 yards (6 targets, 19%) and Brown adding 28 yards on a single reception (4 targets). Wilson came extremely close to scoring a TD, but it was overturned on review. Add him off waivers. Cheap DFS play at $3,400 on DraftKings in Week 11.
The Cardinals face Houston, Rams and Steelers over the next 3 games, followed by the bye week.
Then it’s SF, CHI and PHI.
Would use the Brown dud as an opportunity to buy low. Because we know what the Brown-Murray pairing can do. Hollywood was the first targeted player in the game and actually saw a 5th targeted wiped off due to a defensive pass interference call. The schedule is too good to pass on a potential WR1. He ran a route on 100% of the dropbacks. And he’s just $5.3K on DraftKings in Week 11.
In the receiving department, George Pickens was a key target, receiving 4 targets (18.2% Target share) and making 3 receptions for 45 yards. He still struggles to produce with Diontae Johnson healthy in the lineup. Got called for offensive PI in this contest, wiping off a 28-yard gain.
Connor Heyward also caught 3 passes on 4 targets for 32 yards. Diontae Johnson and Najee Harris each had 4 targets (18% Target share), with Johnson catching one pass for 17 yards and Harris making 3 receptions for 14 yards.
DJ had opportunities to make plays, as he commanded a whopping 62% air yards share (67 air yards). Pretty easy buy low candidate after a dud game with an excellent schedule coming up post the Browns. He drew penalties on two deep throws from Kenny Pickett which don’t show up in the normal box score.
The Steelers’ upcoming schedule: Browns, Bengals, Cardinals, Patriots and Colts
Tank Dell, was heavily involved in the passing game with 14 targets, catching 6 passes for 56 yards and a touchdown (35% Target share, 5 red-zone targets). Picked up another 41 yards on defensive pass interference call.
Led the team in routes run as he does every week. He’s still mispriced on DK at $5,900.
Tank Dell (WR) – 96%
Dalton Schultz (TE) – 88%
Devin Singletary (RB) – 81%
Noah Brown (WR) – 75%
Robert Woods (WR) – 60%
Eric Saubert (TE) – 32%
John Metchie (WR) – 25%
Mike Boone (RB) – 19%
Xavier Hutchinson (WR) – 13%
Dalton Keene (TE) – 11%— Andrew Erickson™ (@AndrewErickson_) November 13, 2023
Talked about Nico Collins as a sell high last week, before his injury. With him far from top of mind after missing last week, he’s probably a sharp buy low as a cheap access point to the Texans passing game.
Arizona and Jacksonville over the next 2 games followed by Denver, the Jets and Titans.
Jerome Ford led the ground game with 17 carries for 107 yards, averaging an impressive 6.3 yards per carry with his longest run being 28 yards. He earned 64% of the snaps. It was the first time Ford was efficient although it was somewhat bloated by a 28-yard run.
Quarterback Deshaun Watson contributed 37 yards on 8 carries, while Kareem Hunt added 32 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries (2 red-zone carries). Hunt played 36% of the snaps.
Ford, in addition to his rushing duties, caught one pass for 2 yards. Wouldn’t expect such a low number when he ran a route on 59% of dropbacks. Hunt had zero targets (1 negated by penalty).
Ford remains the back to own in Cleveland, while Hunt is super TD dependent.
Considering touches/targets/snaps are more predictable and sticky week over week, I’d likely be a buyer/holder of Ford while looking to sell HIGH on Hunt and his recent TD production of 6 scores in the last five games. Ford looks underpriced on DK at just $5,200.
Noah Gray and Skyy Moore were notable receivers for the Chiefs in Week 9. Gray caught all 3 of his targets for 34 yards (team-high), while Moore contributed with 2 receptions for 33 yards. However, Moore only played 25% of the snaps and ran 10 routes.
The Chiefs had a balanced passing attack, with multiple players involved. Justin Watson led the Chiefs with 5 targets.
Rashee Rice scored while running a route on 60% of dropbacks – same as Week 8. Only two targets but usage remained the best among Chief WRs with another season-high in snaps (68%). Add him if he got dropped during the bye week.
Ty Chandler led the ground attack with 15 carries for 45 yards, averaging 3.0 yards per carry and scoring a touchdown. His longest run was 13 yards. Joshua Dobbs, the quarterback, was also an integral part of the rushing offense, gaining 44 yards on 8 carries and scoring a touchdown.
In the passing game, Dobbs completed 23 of 34 attempts for 268 yards and a touchdown, achieving a quarterback rating of 101.1. He was sacked once but did not throw any interceptions. OUR SAVIOR.
I waxed poetic about Dobbs being the No. 1 QB to pick up off waivers this past week and he delivered. He has the No. 1 schedule rest of season for fantasy QBs.
Alexander Mattison and Kene Nwangwu added 27 and 9 yards, respectively, to the running game. Mattison left the game with a concussion at the end of the 3rd but was out carried in the first half (5 vs. 4) to Chandler. Chandler had a 2nd rushing TD nullified by holding to go along with 8 4th quarter carries after Mattison left the game.
He’s the RB to add in this backfield with Mattison slated to miss the game after sustaining a concussion. He played 44% of the snaps to Kene Nwangwu‘s 4%. Overall, Mattison’s snaps were more of him on passing downs (19 routes run) than delivering as a ball carrier.
And it should be an aggressive bid. The Vikings have one of the most favorable schedules for fantasy RBs over the rest of the season.
