Fantasy Football Player Notes

Nabers is the WR9 in fantasy points per game, ranking second in deep targets among wide receivers. He hasn't seen a red zone target since Week 4, which is more of an indictment against the offense than it is with Nabers' role within the offense. Nabers has a 33.8% target share, a 49.5% air-yard share, 2.15 YPRR, and a 43.7% first-read share. If he can get competent quarterback play from Tommy DeVito this week, he should slay the Bucs secondary. Since Week 6, Tampa Bay has allowed the ninth-most receiving yards per game and the third-most fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers. Nabers popped up on the injury report on Friday (groin). He has been listed as questionable.

Since Week 5, Tracy Jr. has been the RB22 in fantasy points per game, averaging 18.1 touches and 98.7 total yards per game. Since Week 5, among 57 qualifying backs, Tracy Jr. has ranked ninth in explosive run rate and yards after contact per attempt and 13th in missed tackles forced per attempt. Tracy Jr. should have another strong week against a Bucs run defense that, since Week 6, has allowed the 12th-highest explosive run rate and rushing yards per game, the sixth-highest yards after contact per attempt, and the 11th-highest yards per carry to zone runs (since Week 5 Tracy Jr. 51.6% zone).

Since Week 5, Robinson has been the WR55 in fantasy points per game. With Theo Johnson factoring into the passing game more, Robinson has seen his target share dip some with a 19.3% target share, 1.01 YPRR, 32.8 receiving yards per game, and a 24.2% first-read share. Across his last six games, he has seen four red zone targets and zero end-zone targets. Robinson is a decent flex play this week, especially in PPR formats. Since Week 6, Tampa Bay has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game and the second-highest PPR points per target to slot receivers.

In the seven games Darius Slayton has played alongside Malik Nabers, he has had an 11.8% target share, 1.34 YPRR, and an 8.9% first-read share. In that sample, he has only once finished higher than WR36 in weekly fantasy scoring. The matchup is fantastic for Slayton this week, but as the third or maybe fourth option in a Tommy DeVito offense, he's a thin play that is only reserved for extremely deep leagues and the most desperate fantasy GMs. Since Week 6, Tampa Bay has allowed the ninth-most receiving yards per game and the third-most fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Since Week 5, Johnson has had a 10.5% target share, 1.08 YPRR, averaged 30.6 receiving yards per game, and seen a 13.3% first-read share. He doesn't have an end-zone or red-zone target during this span, so his chances of scoring a touchdown are slim. Johnson makes the low end of the tight-end streaming list for Week 12 because the matchup is quite nice. Tampa Bay has allowed the second-most receiving yards per game and the fourth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.
