Two thirds of drafted wide receivers never post a single 80 target season...Not ONE of them was ever fantasy relevant.
Round 1 WRs: 1.746 points per target (PPR)
Day 3 WRs: 1.703
The talent gap you think you're drafting isn't there. The ACCESS gap is everything. Earn snaps. Earn targets. Earn fantasy relevance.
Check out my newest article on The Lab @TheLab_FBB
It mirrors my running back article from a few weeks ago, but you'll read why it's a completely different story for receivers. Come see why 80 targets is a door that wide receivers MUST get through to find any success in the NFL, and especially for your fantasy teams. I dive deep into that data, and more, and tell you exactly who's worth drafting, and who's worth leaving behind. Check it out!⬇️

Send me your Start/Sit questions for this week. I’ll answer each in 3 parts:
1. Who’s the simple start, best projection
2. Who has the highest ceiling, if you need a massive game
3. Who has the best floor, if you need to avoid a zero
We model each, so send your questions!
Week 9 WR Start/Sits🧵
Starts:
✅Emeka Egbuka - Yes, Bears have been a good pass defense, but Egbuka's volume surpasses that concern this week. HUGE ceiling.
✅Luther Burden - Another tough matchup, but don't let it scare you. Bears are still expected to score plenty and Burden gets a great target volume.
✅Adonai Mitchell - Solid flex start. Jets aren't projected to score a ton but he gets a good target volume when he playsand does well with his catches. A bit risky but great ceiling.

✅Sam LaPorta - Another high implied point total and fantastic matchup. Expect high quality targets.

Week 9 RB Start/Sits🧵
Starts:
✅Josh Jacobs - Like him or not, even with a tough matchup he's a good start. Carries + goal line opportunities.
✅Ollie Gordon - Volume is key and he gets a lot of it. High ceiling.
✅Jonah Coleman - Carries + targets. Matchup is average but his volume will carry him.

Loving the announcer calling out the Ravens O-line for not picking up the linebacker blitz when they have enough players to do so. This is the real problem right now…

Week 8 TE Start/Sits🧵
Starts:
✅Brenton Strange - TE8 in model PPR. Very high implied point total. Solid volume for TE and high ceiling.
✅Dalton Kincaid - If he plays, smash start against Baltimore. Safe play, finishes near ceiling more often.
✅T.J. Hockenson - Boom or Bust but this week is a good matchup with good opportunity. Take the shot. Great ceiling.

Week 8 WR Starts/Sits🧵
Starts:
✅ Michael Wilson - PPG has been down, but he's still getting volume. Kind of player you want to start. Great matchup.
✅ Chris Godwin Jr. - Without Egbuka, start this guy. Safer than projection = finishes near ceiling. Tough defensive matchup but he'll get volume.
✅ Wan'Dale Robinson - Tate is out. Already has good target volume with Tate, expect more this week.
Week 8 QB Start/Sits🧵
Starts:
✅ Jacoby Brissett - Volume of passes + good matchup. QB9 this week in my model.
✅ Trevor Lawrence - Great ceiling. One of only QBs w/ >= 0.5 projected goal line carries.
✅ Dak Prescott - 1st QB to dethrone Josh Allen in projection and is QB1 in 6 pt TD

With Lamar out Huntley is my QB11 in 4 pt pass TD and QB16 in 6 pt. Worth a spot start consideration if you stream QB

✅ Harold Fannin Jr. - Matchup is fantastic. Targets w/ opportunity.
Week 7 WR Start/Sits🧵
Starts:
✅ Tee Higgins - He’s had some off weeks but this is projected to be a great one. 8.3 projected tgts, great ceiling.
✅ KC Concepcion - Flex start. WR31 in my model this week. Big ceiling against the Titans.
✅ Jalen Coker - Targets galore. High implied point total. WR24 but safer than projection.
✅ BONUS: If he plays…Devonta Smith - Some say the Eagles are in ruins…but not Devonta! He’s going to get the targets, has a massive ceiling

Week 7 RB Start/Sits🧵
Starts:
✅ Aaron Jones - Shocked me at RB7 in PPR. Projected 18.8 carries. Safer than his floor and often finishes higher within his range this week (9-26 points).
✅ Chuba Hubbard - He’s becoming automatic. RB15 in PPR per my model this week. Average run defense, he’ll get plenty of usage.
✅ Woody Marks - Great matchup and safer than his projection, typically finishes at top of his range (6-24 pts)
Week 7 QB Start/Sits:
Starts:
✅ Matthew Stafford - Even without some of his best weapons, hes QB7. 4th highest implied pt total. Solid ceiling.
✅ Aaron Rodgers - Let’s do it! QB8 for the Paris game. Lots of projected attempts. 43% shot at top-12 week. Fine ceiling, solid floor.
✅ Deshaun Watson - He’s playing against the Titans, that’s pretty much all you need to know.

Targets vs. PPG for WRs through Week 6
The difference between the 2 Browns rookie WRs is plain to see. Concepcion gets the targets, Boston gets the big yardage plays. Concepcion will be more valuable in the long run. Something to keep in mind.
