Wide Receiver Usage and Defensive Trends
One receiver posted a 2-19-0 line on five targets plus nine rushing yards while seeing a 21 percent target share. That player now meets a defense allowing the third-fewest yards and fantasy points to the position. Another receiver recorded nine targets for a 3-40-0 line and 5.0 fantasy points yet holds a 23 percent target share in back-to-back games. He faces a unit that has surrendered the third-most catches and sixth-most fantasy points to receivers, with seven opposing wideouts posting 14.5-plus points through five weeks. A third receiver has handled 91 percent of snaps and a 20 percent target share that includes five end zone targets, leading to three touchdowns and four games of 12.9-plus fantasy points.
Running Back and Quarterback Angles
A veteran back averaging 8.7 fantasy points per game has taken 70 percent of called runs and 8 percent of targets while splitting snaps. He meets a defense allowing the third-most yards and sixth-most fantasy points to the position. A quarterback who totaled one touchdown and six interceptions with no game above 9.8 fantasy points in his first three outings then posted 374 passing yards, 25 rushing yards and five total touchdowns for 39.5 points. He now faces a defense allowing the seventh-fewest quarterback fantasy points along with the fourth-fewest passing yards and third-most sacks.
Projected Totals and Lineup Notes
The HOU-JAX contest carries a 44.5 over/under and a 66 percent win probability for the Jaguars. The CHI-ATL game projects to 49.1 with a 60 percent Falcons win chance. The BAL-CLE total sits at 47.1 and a 76 percent Ravens probability. Several players including Bhayshul Tuten, Nico Collins and Parker Washington appear as lineup locks in their respective games.
