Fantasy Football Player Notes
2024 Rest of Season Rankings
1.
Ja'Marr Chase
CIN (at PIT)
|
2.
Justin Jefferson
MIN (at DET)
Justin Jefferson was relatively quiet, catching 2 of 5 targets for 27 yards. However, he had a 40-yard touchdown nullified by offensive pass interference and drew multiple defensive pass interference penalties on deep and short targets. The Bears have been stingy against No. 1 WRs this season, and they did everything they could to sell out against Jefferson. Not much you can do but tip your cap to the Bears' defense and keep playing Jefferson.

George Pickens
PIT (vs . CIN)
George Pickens contributed with four receptions on seven targets for 48 yards, highlighted by a 31-yard gain.
One red-zone reception from one red-zone target but no touchdowns. 27% Target share and 143 air yards. Still, the best might be yet to come. Keep in mind he only had two TDs this season despite being top-10 in yards among WRs. Averaging 82-plus receiving yards per game with Wilson under center. |

Terry McLaurin
WAS (at DAL)
Terry McLaurin was a standout, catching 5 of 6 targets for 102 yards and a touchdown (80-plus air yards). His day included a massive 86-yard reception, showcasing his big-play ability with 58 yards after the catch. The majority of his production game on a touchdown in the fourth quarter. McLaurin had two targets in the first half.
Not ideal by any means. TMC is very much threading the needle of the WR trust tree by very much outperforming his usage. Eventually, things will catch up to him. He is third in target share in the last three weeks (14%) - tied with Austin Ekeler. |
16.
Deebo Samuel Sr.
SF (at ARI)
Deebo Samuel Sr. made the most of his lone catch on four targets, gaining 21 yards with a significant 26 yards after the catch. He only played 67% of the snaps same as Ricky Pearsall (zero targets) but was second on the team in routes run. The usage wasn't bad for Samuel, but he's just not being featured or making the most of his opportunities.
I thought it was interesting on the broadcast that during a critical conversion attempt, Tom Brady listed off Jennings, McCaffrey and Kittle as the three players most likely to see the ball pre-snap. Samuel wasn't even mentioned. WOOF. The 49ers struggled without Brock Purdy, and there's no guarantee he is ready for Buffalo in Week 13. It's a tough matchup overall for WRs, putting into question whether Samuel can be trusted. Last three games with CMC, Samuel is second on the team with a 20% target share, but he has just 10 receptions for 83 yards. In Week 12, he had two more drops and one of his targets led to an interception. Samuel only has two TDs scored this season despite nine total red-zone targets/attempts. I think if Purdy misses another week, Samuel can be easily benched. If Purdy is back, I think fantasy managers still need to get Samuel back in lineups even after a disaster performance. Samuel's worst game this season was against Arizona, and he followed it up with a 100-yard game versus Seattle. The Bills pass defense happily gives up a ton of underneath and dump-off targets, which has been Samuel's role in the offense. Even after his "older" age, Samuel still showed glimpses of his strong YAC self, with all his yards coming after the catch. He also had an impressive return on special teams. |

18.
Malik Nabers
NYG (at PHI)
Malik Nabers led the receiving corps with six catches on nine targets (30% target share, 49% air yards share) for 64 yards (one red-zone target), averaging 10.7 yards per reception and a long of 21 yards. He didn't see his first target until the second half... New York we have a Tommy DeVito problem.

19.
Mike Evans
TB (vs . NO)
|
20.
Courtland Sutton
DEN (vs . KC)
Courtland Sutton was the standout, catching 8 of 10 targets for 97 yards and 2 red-zone touchdowns, averaging 12.1 yards per reception. 26% target share and over 100 air yards. Per the FantasyPros SOS tool, the Broncos have a top-4-ranked schedule for quarterbacks for the rest of the season (7th for WRs).
The schedule goes vs. CLE, BYE, vs. IND, @ LAC, @ CIN, and vs. KC. Sutton has been on an absolute heater since his zero-target game against the Saints. Averaging nearly 93 yards per game with a 46% air yards share and 29% target share. |

DJ Moore
CHI (at GB)
D.J. Moore had a monster performance, catching all 7 of his targets for 106 yards and a red-zone touchdown. He was dynamic after the catch, accumulating 86 YAC and recording a long reception of 37 yards. I bet the under on Moore's as the new bubble screen king, but his moves after the catch burned me to a crisp. His aDOT was 3.5 yards. He also finished fourth in targets on the day (15% target share). Some signs of concern moving forward if he is completely limited to this short ADOT role.

Rome Odunze
CHI (at GB)
Rome Odunze was targeted 10 times but caught just 5 passes for 39 yards. He had the ideal usage you love to see - 110 air yards, multiple end-zone red-zone looks - but he fell short.
Buy him low everywhere across the board. He plays enough from the slot - at least 40% - the last two weeks to benefit from the positive matchup versus Detroit. Williams has relied on Odunze in key moments, which happened in this game. Fourth and three, Williams connected with his fellow rookie on a 14-yard dart that helped Chicago force overtime. From Weeks 13-17, the Bears play @ DET, @ SF, @ MIN, DET and SEA. The only Bear I'll leave the light on for is Odunze. He is an uber-talented rookie and leads the Bears in air yards this season amid difficult target competition. Last two weeks, he trails only Allen on the team in target share (25% versus 29%) despite 223 air yards. His explosion game is coming. |
