Allen Lazard Week 6 Outlook - Bills at Jets

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 10th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Lazard has been a pleasant surprise as the WR28 in fantasy points per game this season. He is fourth among wide receivers in red zone targets and has already scored four touchdowns (third-most). Lazard has a 17.9% target share, a 26.3% air-yard share, 1.36 YPRR, and a 20.8% first-read share. Buffalo has the fifth-highest rate of two-high (58.9%). Against two-high, Lazard's target share has bumped to 20%, and his first-read share has skyrocketed to 26.1%. Even with the volume bump this week, Lazard still is only a middling flex play. Buffalo has put the clamps on wide receivers, allowing the fifth-lowest PPR points per target and the second-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
