Fantasy Football Start em, Sit em Lineup Advice
Since Week 2, Kmet has been the TE3 in fantasy points per game, drawing a 16.5% target share and 14.8% first-read share with 2.39 YPRR. He has four red zone targets across his last four games. Washington is fifth in two high rate (53.6%). Since Week 2 against two high, Kmet has led the team in TPRR (22%), YPRR (2.71), and FD/RR (0.143). Kmet is a strong TE1 again this week.
The Bucs made good on their proclamation to utilize three backs last week. White played 47% of the snaps overall with a 42% snap share on rushing plays, 50% of the passing down snaps, and 50% of the red zone snaps. He finished with 16 touches and 111 total yards (two scores) with the bulk of his production coming through the air (71 receiving yards). The backfield competition has lit a fire under White who is now excelling in tackle-breaking ranking 21st in missed tackles forced per attempt and 15th in yards after contact per attempt. White should have another productive day as the lead back for the Bucs. Atlanta has allowed the ninth-most rushing yards per game, the 11th-highest missed tackle rate, and top-eight success rates to zone and gap runs.
Since Week 5, Andrews has settled into a consistent role. No, it’s not his former every-down role, but at least we know what to expect for fantasy right now. Over the last three games, he is the TE5 in fantasy points per game as he has run hot with touchdowns (three). He has had a 44.4% route share, which isn’t ideal, but he has been hyper-efficient with a 14.4% target share, 3.18 YPRR, 54 receiving yards per game, and a 15.6% first-read share. In saying that, this will likely be a down week for Andrews. Cleveland has stifled tight ends, allowing the seventh-fewest receiving yards and the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game.
