Elite Plays
Odell Beckham, NYG – He’s seen double-digit targets in four of his last five games, has six touchdowns in his last five and the Bears rank 21st against opposing WR1.
Antonio Brown, PIT – Pretty sure I can just say, “It’s Cleveland,” but if you need data, the Browns rank 30th against opposing WR1 and have allowed a league-worst 25 passing touchdowns this season.
A.J. Green, CIN – Buffalo’s 23rd-ranked pass defense ranks dead last in the league against opposing WR1 and give up an average of 81 yards per game to them.
Mike Evans, TB – Insane number of targets week in and week out and while he will see a lot of Marcus Peters, he’ll still produce solid WR1 numbers.
Pricey but Affordable
T.Y. Hilton, IND – The Titans pass defense ranks 26th in the league, they allow an average of 268 passing yards per game and they’ve given up 16 touchdowns through the air this year.
Davante Adams, GB – With Josh Norman watching over Jordy Nelson most of the game, Adams will be running free in the secondary of an overrated 14th-ranked pass defense.
Dez Bryant, DAL – The Ravens pass defense ranks sixth in the league, but they rank 24th against opposing WR1 and allow an average of 80.6 yards per game to them.
Allen Robinson, JAC – The Lions pass defense ranks dead last in the league and has allowed 20 passing touchdowns this season. They also rank 22nd against WR1 and allow an average of 71.3 yards per game to them.
Terrelle Pryor, CLE – With the Browns very likely to fall behind early, look for them to chuck the ball to Pryor all game long. The fact that the Steelers rank 29th against WR1 and allow an average of 92 yards per game to them is an added bonus.
Solid Value
Doug Baldwin, SEA – Last week was the start of exactly what we saw last year and now he faces an Eagles secondary that’s been smoked by Julio, OBJ and Dez over the last few weeks. He may not going on as crazy a tear, but he’ll certainly eat at the big kids’ table.
Donte Moncrief, IND – This game is going to be explosive and Andrew Luck loves looking for Moncrief in the red zone. You can also see above in the Hilton write-up.
Michael Thomas, NO – How about a rebound from two fumbles? The Panthers secondary is atrocious and they rank 27th against WR1, allowing an average of 89.7 yards per game.
Julian Edelman, NE – With no Gronk, you can expect a heavier focus on Edelman this week. He’s been quiet thus far, but the 49ers rank 31st against WR1’s and allow an average of 89.6 yards per game to them.
Rishard Matthews, TEN – Love this game for points galore and no one is hotter than Matthews right now. You won’t get a ton of yards, but he’s got four touchdowns in his last three games and five touchdowns over his last five.
Bargain Hunting
DeVante Parker, MIA – He finally showed up last week and while the Rams are focused on Jarvis Landry, Parker should help extend the field for the Dolphins. Rams also rank 22nd against WR2 and 18th against receivers coming out of the slot.
Eli Rogers, PIT – The Steelers are going to feast on the Browns and while AB84 and Le’Veon Bell should dominate, Rodgers should find his way into the end zone as well.
Steve Smith, BAL – The Cowboys pass defense ranks 25th in the league and have allowed 15 touchdowns through the air this season. They also rank 16th against WR1 and 30th against the slot.
Devin Funchess, CAR – Not a lot of targets but has a catch of 20 or more yards in each of his last three games and has two touchdowns in his last four. The Saints rank 19th against WR2s and 28th against the slot.
Anquan Boldin, DET – Minimal yardage, but three touchdowns in his last four games and has seven red zone targets in that span. Touchdowns are all Bolding knows.
