Fantasy Football Player Notes

Since Week 8, Moore has had a 19.8% target share, 0.94 YPRR, and a 27.3% first-read share. Last week, Moore had a 22.6% target share, 1.68 YPRR, and he was third on the team with a 25.9% first-read share. 57.1% of his targets were designed (no other wide receiver had above a 12.5% designed target rate. Moore's aDOT was only 0.9 yards. Thomas Brown was feeding him underneath designed looks which will help his PPR value, but it could hurt his ceiling weekly. Since Week 6, Minnesota has allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game and the sixth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Moore's underneath role won't be great this week, though. Since Week 6, Minnesota has also given up the sixth-lowest yards after contact per reception and the tenth-lowest missed tackle rate per reception (ninth-lowest yards after the catch). Moore will have issues creating after the catch this week.

Last week, Odunze led the team with a 32.3% target share, a 53.6% air-yard share, 2.17 YPRR, and a 32.3% first-read share. Odunze's takeover has been slowly coming since after the bye. I've discussed his first-read share leading the way in various games since Chicago's bye. Since Week 8, Odunze has been tied for second on the team with a 27.3% first-read share and tied for the team lead with two end-zone targets. Since Week 6, Minnesota has allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game and the sixth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. If Williams can have a productive game in Week 12, Odunze could smash.

Last week, Allen had a 25.8% target share (second on the team) with a 30.3% air-yard share, 1.32 YPRR, and a 29.6% first-read share (tied for first). Allen has only one red zone target over his last four games. Allen remains a decent but not awesome flex play weekly. Since Week 6, Minnesota has ranked 15th in PPR points per target and 17th in passer rating when targeted to slot receivers.
