Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets
Demario Douglas (NE): 36% rostered
- Next Opponents: BYE, @NYG, LAC
- True value: $9
- Desperate need: $14
- Budget-minded: $6
Analysis: Douglas has been a starter for New England since Week 7. In his first three games as a starter, he had a 78.4% route run rate, a 19.4% target share, 1.54 yards per route run, and a team-leading 22.7% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). There’s no dispute that Douglas is the Patriots’ WR1 moving forward, as he put an exclamation point on the end of that sentence in Week 10 with 2.89 yards per route run (84 receiving yards) and a 40% target share. Yes, you read that correctly. A 40% target share. After his Week 11 bye, Douglas has a middling matchup against the Giants, but after that, he should feast against the Chargers and Steelers, who have allowed the ninth-most and the 12th-most PPR points per target to slot receivers (per Fantasy Points Data). Douglas should be rostered. Pick him up NOW!
Elijah Moore (CLE): 42% rostered
- Next Opponents: PIT, @DEN, @LAR
- True value: $2
- Desperate need: $4
- Budget-minded: $1
Analysis: Going into Week 10, Deshaun Watson had played four full games. In those four games, Moore had a 15.6% target share, 14.5% air-yard share, 0.78 yards per route run and a 13.1% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). Moore was pretty much left for dead on fantasy rosters. He didn’t have one week as a WR3 or higher. The best fantasy week he could muster until Week 10 was WR37 in Week 3. In Week 10, Moore finally flashed a pulse with a 20% target share, 44 receiving yards and a score. With Deshaun Watson looking closer to his yesteryear form in Week 10, Moore could be poised to stack some usable fantasy weeks moving forward with upcoming games against the Steelers, Broncos and Rams, who rank 12th, sixth and 14th in PPR points per target allowed to slot receivers (per Fantasy Points Data).
Noah Brown (HOU): 24% rostered
- Next Opponents: ARI, JAX, DEN
- True value: $2
- Desperate need: $4
- Budget-minded: $1
Analysis: HOLY SMOKES! Noah Brown has been on fire, with at least six grabs and 153 receiving yards in each of his last two games. These are bonkers numbers for a player who was an afterthought this offseason when he signed with the Texans. My bids for Brown might be stronger than the ones listed above, considering his recent performances and upcoming matchups, but the worry still exists that Brown will be sent to the bench once Houston’s WR room is fully healthy. Brown has cracked the starting lineup the last few weeks because of Robert Woods‘ absence and, in Week 10, because Nico Collins was out. If Collins is back next week, Brown will return to a backup role. If Collins remains out the next two weeks, Brown could continue to smash against Arizona and Jacksonville, who have allowed the ninth-most and 10th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.
Brandin Cooks (DAL): 38% rostered
- Next Opponents: @CAR, WAS, SEA
- True value: $2
- Desperate need: $4
- Budget-minded: $1
Analysis: Cooks evoked memories of prime Brandin Cooks in Week 10 with a 22.7% target share, 173 receiving yards and a touchdown. This was easily his best performance to date in a Dallas uniform. We’ll see if he can build upon it moving forward. If so, he could be a strong WR3 down the stretch. Cooks could continue to thrive with soft matchups incoming against Carolina and Washington.
Khalil Shakir (BUF): 17% rostered
- Next Opponents: NYJ, @PHI, BYE
- True value: $1
- Desperate need: $2
- Budget-minded: $0
Analysis: Shakir has been making the most of his newfound playing time. Since Week 8, Shakir has had a 68.5% route run rate, a 12.8% target share, an 18.2% air-yard share, 2.44 yards per route run and an 8% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). In his two games as a starter, he has finished as the WR24 and the WR32 in weekly scoring. Shakir’s upcoming matchups aren’t glittering, but he is tied to a top-five NFL quarterback. Josh Allen‘s cannon can neutralize plenty of tough secondaries.
Stash Candidates:
Zay Jones is a known commodity at this point. If (which is a big if) he is healthy, we know Trevor Lawrence‘s love for Jones in the red zone. The big question for Jones is when (or if) he will be healthy for the remainder of the season. If your roster needs wide receiver help but you are sitting pretty in the win column, stash Jones. He could be a stretch run difference-maker if his knee complies.
Jonathan Mingo is an interesting stash candidate if you have the bench room. With three games this season with at least seven targets, Mingo has been getting enough volume to make some noise if QB Bryce Young can get it together. After Mingo’s Week 11 date with Dallas, his schedule opens up a bit with games against the Titans and Buccaneers, whose secondaries have been WR-friendly.
A.T. Perry is a player I liked quite a bit as a prospect during this past NFL Draft cycle. His numbers popped in deeper metrics as a receiver who can not only beat zone coverage but also have success against man coverage. With Michael Thomas sustaining a knee injury in Week 10, Perry came off the bench to lead the New Orleans wide receivers in snaps and garner four targets. If Thomas misses time, Perry could become the WR2 in this offense.
Michael Wilson didn’t blow up with a monster game in Kyler Murray‘s first week back, but he did manage an 18.7% target share and nearly got into the end zone. Murray looked fantastic in his return. The arrow is pointing up for Wilson, so stash him now before the big game happens.
