Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Wide Receiver
WIDE RECEIVERS
Written by Derek Brown
Jalen McMillan (TB): 8% rostered
- Next Opponents: @DAL, CAR, NO
- True value: $3
- Desperate Need: $5
- Budget-minded: $1
Analysis: Well, I guess we need to be back in on McMillan after two standout performances. We’ve been waiting for the talented rookie to emerge since Chris Godwin was lost for the year, and it looks like he is doing it. Over the last two weeks, McMillan has had a 23.2% target share while averaging 4.5 receptions and 67 receiving yards. He has scored three times in the last two weeks. None of his final three matchups for the season should strike fear in anyone’s heart. Dallas and New Orleans have allowed the 10th-most and ninth-most fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers (per Fantasy Points Data).
Romeo Doubs (GB): 38% rostered
- Next Opponents: NO, @MIN, CHI
- True value: $3
- Desperate Need: $5
- Budget-minded: $1
Analysis: Doubs returned from the concussion protocol in Week 15 and made his presence known. He had an 18.5% target share with 40 receiving yards and two scores. He is poised to continue the scoring barrage over the next three weeks with nice matchups against the Saints, Vikings and Bears. Since Week 9, the Saints, Vikings and Bears have respectively allowed the fifth-most, 14th-most and seventh-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers (per Fantasy Points Data).
Jalen Coker (CAR): 2% rostered
- Next Opponents: ARI, @TB, @ATL
- True value: $3
- Desperate Need: $5
- Budget-minded: $1
Analysis: Coker returned to the lineup after missing three games with a quad injury and made his presence known. He finished with a 21.4% target share, a team-leading 110 receiving yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Cowboys. Yes, most of that production came on an immaculate 83-yard score, but Coker returned to a full-time role. He split the slot snaps with Adam Thielen as they rotated. Xavier Legette also left the game early (groin). If he’s unable to go next week, it’ll be Coker and Thielen duking it out for the team lead in targets. Arizona’s secondary has been improved in recent weeks, but Coker should torch the Bucs and Falcons to close the NFL regular season. Since Week 9, Tampa Bay and Atlanta have allowed the fifth-most and most fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers (per Fantasy Points Data).
Rashod Bateman (BAL): 25% rostered
- Next Opponents: PIT, @HOU, CLE
- True value: $2
- Desperate Need: $4
- Budget-minded: $1
Analysis: Bateman had another wonderful spike week against the Giants. He had a 20% target share while scoring two touchdowns and finishing with a team-leading 80 receiving yards. Bateman could close the NFL regular season with a flurry of production courtesy of awesome matchups in two of the next three games. Since Week 9, Pittsburgh and Cleveland have respectively allowed the fourth-most and 10th-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers (per Fantasy Points Data).
Cedric Tillman (CLE): 32% rostered
- Next Opponents: @CIN, MIA, @BAL
- True value: $2
- Desperate Need: $4
- Budget-minded: $1
Analysis: Hopefully, Tillman will return next week from the concussion protocol after returning to practice last week. In Weeks 7-11, Tillman had a 21% target share, 1.69 yards per route run, and a 25.5% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). During that stretch, he had five red zone targets and three WR1 weekly finishes (WR10, WR3, WR12). I don’t know who will be starting at quarterback for Cleveland in Week 16, but Tillman at least has a glorious matchup. Since Week 9, Cincy has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers.
Keon Coleman (BUF): 41% rostered
- Next Opponents: NE, NYJ, @NE
- True value: $1
- Desperate Need: $2
- Budget-minded: $0
Analysis: Coleman returned from a wrist injury in Week 15 and led the Bills’ wide receivers in snaps. It didn’t translate to a ton of usage, with Coleman only seeing two targets, but he did make his one reception count with a massive 64-yard chunk play. Coleman could build upon his Week 15 return with juicy matchups against the Pats in two of his next three games. Since Week 9, New England has allowed the 13th-most fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers (per Fantasy Points Data).
Ray-Ray McCloud (ATL): 21% rostered
- Next Opponents: NYG, @WSH, CAR
- True value: $1
- Desperate Need: $2
- Budget-minded: $0
Analysis: McCloud enters his matchup against the Raiders on fire over the last two weeks. In his last two games, he has averaged 14.7 PPR points, six receptions and 96.5 receiving yards. McCloud could continue the hot streak to close the season with nice matchups against the Giants and Commanders. These two secondaries have allowed the 15th-most and fourth-most PPR points per target to slot receivers (per Fantasy Points Data).
