Vikings Pass Game and Jefferson Production
The Minnesota offense has shown limited rhythm through the air, with only 164 pass attempts on the season. Justin Jefferson posted 31.2 fantasy points in Week 1 but has averaged 10.8 points per game across three full outings with the current starter, along with 5.3 targets and two red-zone looks in that span. He has yet to reach double-digit targets in any contest. Detroit and Buffalo rank among the bottom five against wide receivers over the next two weeks, yet sustained volume remains a question mark for a top-15 finish.
Corum Workload Growth in Los Angeles
Usage has elevated the Rams backup beyond an insurance role. Corum recorded a team-high 17 carries in the Week 7 victory and is averaging 15.8 fantasy points per game over the past three outings, with double-digit touches, at least one touchdown each week, and six receptions on seven targets. He is posting 77.7 scrimmage yards per game. The upcoming slate against the Chargers, at Washington, and at Arizona offers continued flex opportunities in shallower formats and RB2 value in deeper leagues ahead of the Week 11 bye.
Bengals Defense and Declining Skill Positions
Cincinnati has added front-seven pieces including Dexter Lawrence II, Jonathan Allen, and Boye Mafe, plus coverage options Dax Hill and DJ Turner II. The unit is scoring 8.0 fantasy points per game, fifth in the league, while allowing 20.3 points per game and recording multiple sacks in every contest plus at least one turnover in four games. An open schedule through the next six weeks supports streaming or adding the group, which remains available in more than 55 percent of leagues. Meanwhile, Garrett Wilson has seen targets fall to six or fewer in three of four recent games after a 19.1-point start, coinciding with Omar Cooper Jr. posting at least 22 points in back-to-back contests. Chase Brown sits at 12.5 points per game but has posted fewer than 10 in three of four outings, with 3.4 yards per carry and limited explosive runs, while Samaje Perine has taken carries in recent weeks.
