Here's a team-by-team look at the most targeted players last week in the AFC (click here for NFC targets):
| NAME | LAST WEEK | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mike Wallace | 9 | 48 | 8 |
| Dennis Pitta | 10 | 47 | 7.8 |
| Steve Smith Sr. | N/A | 40 | 8 |
| Breshad Perriman | 8 | 29 | 4.8 |
| Kyle Juszczyk | 6 | 24 | 4 |
Smith missed last week with an ankle injury, but when he is healthy, he is the team's top receiver. Perriman's eight targets were the most he has seen in his NFL career. Perhaps new OC Marty Mornhinweg wants to get the former first-round pick more involved in the offense.
| NAME | LAST WEEK | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robert Woods | 6 | 37 | 6.1 |
| Charles Clay | 7 | 31 | 5.1 |
| Marquise Goodwin | 4 | 25 | 6.2 |
| LeSean McCoy | 3 | 24 | 4 |
| Walt Powell | 0 | 11 | 3.6 |
Clay has caught five passes in three straight weeks. He is a nice, low-cost cash game play. No other receiver in the offense can be trusted.
| NAME | LAST WEEK | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| A.J. Green | 10 | 62 | 10.3 |
| Brandon LaFell | 5 | 37 | 6.1 |
| Giovani Bernard | 5 | 35 | 5.8 |
| C.J. Uzomah | 2 | 29 | 4.8 |
| Tyler Boyd | 5 | 28 | 4.6 |
Green will continue to hog all the targets in the offense until TE Tyler Eifert returns. He was supposed make his debut this past week before injuring his back in practice.
| NAME | LAST WEEK | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Terrelle Pryor Sr. | 13 | 59 | 9.8 |
| Duke Johnson Jr. | 6 | 34 | 5.6 |
| Gary Barnidge | 5 | 33 | 5.5 |
| Andrew Hawkins | 4 | 24 | 4 |
| Ricardo Louis | 9 | 23 | 3.8 |
Pryor could have a season like Josh Gordon had in 2013 and like Barnidge had last season, in which he is a major beneficiary of garbage time.
| NAME | LAST WEEK | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Emmanuel Sanders | 6 | 57 | 9.5 |
| Demaryius Thomas | 10 | 44 | 7.3 |
| C.J. Anderson | 5 | 24 | 6 |
| Jordan Norwood | 7 | 19 | 3.1 |
It seems as though no receiver outside of Sanders and Thomas gets any looks. Don't bank on that changing anytime soon.
| NAME | LAST WEEK | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| DeAndre Hopkins | 15 | 57 | 9.5 |
| Will Fuller | N/A | 40 | 8 |
| Ryan Griffin | 5 | 30 | 5 |
| C.J. Fiedorowicz | 7 | 24 | 4 |
| Jaelen Strong | 2 | 22 | 4.4 |
| Lamar Miller | 4 | 21 | 3.5 |
With Fuller out on Sunday night, it was Hopkins' time to shine. Unfortunately, the inconsistent play of Brock Osweiler has hurt his fantasy value all year. He was only able to turn his 15 targets into nine catches for 71 yards.
| NAME | LAST WEEK | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| T.Y. Hilton | 9 | 64 | 10.7 |
| Dwayne Allen | 2 | 27 | 4.5 |
| Phillip Dorsett | 5 | 26 | 4.3 |
| Josh Ferguson | 0 | 25 | 4.2 |
| Jack Doyle | 4 | 23 | 3.8 |
| Frank Gore | 1 | 21 | 3.5 |
Hilton continues to be the only consistent pass catcher on the Colts' roster. It appears as though WR Donte Moncrief could return soon.
| NAME | LAST WEEK | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allen Robinson | 6 | 47 | 9.4 |
| Allen Hurns | 11 | 38 | 7.6 |
| Marqise Lee | 6 | 30 | 6 |
| T.J. Yeldon | 2 | 25 | 5 |
| Julius Thomas | 4 | 21 | 4.2 |
Robinson has vastly underachieved for someone who was likely a second-round pick at the latest in most 10- or 12-team leagues. He is a solid buy-low candidate.
| NAME | LAST WEEK | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jeremy Maclin | 3 | 40 | 8 |
| Travis Kelce | 3 | 32 | 6.4 |
| Chris Conley | 4 | 27 | 5.4 |
| Spencer Ware | 2 | 19 | 3.8 |
| Albert Wilson | 1 | 17 | 3.4 |
Conley is on his way to catching Kelce as Alex Smith's second-favorite target.
| NAME | LAST WEEK | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jarvis Landry | 9 | 57 | 9.5 |
| DeVante Parker | 7 | 32 | 6.4 |
| Kenny Stills | 3 | 24 | 4 |
| Jordan Cameron | N/A | 11 | 3.6 |
| Dion Sims | 2 | 12 | 2.4 |
Landry is an outstanding cash-game option in daily fantasy. Parker can be rostered only in tournaments. Both are somewhat risky plays against a stingy Bills defense.
| NAME | LAST WEEK | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Julian Edelman | 7 | 44 | 7.3 |
| Martellus Bennett | 5 | 33 | 5.5 |
| James White | 9 | 33 | 5.5 |
| Chris Hogan | 1 | 21 | 4.2 |
| Rob Gronkowski | 9 | 19 | 4.7 |
Gronkowski had his first Gronk-like week, catching seven passes for 162 yards and a score. If you bought low on him following Week 4, you must feel like a genius. Now would be a great time to do the same on Edelman.
| NAME | LAST WEEK | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brandon Marshall | 6 | 60 | 10 |
| Quincy Enunwa | 5 | 44 | 7.3 |
| Bilal Powell | 4 | 34 | 5.7 |
| Matt Forte | 3 | 22 | 3.7 |
| Charone Peake | 10 | 14 | 4.7 |
Though Marshall and Enunwa are the clear-cut top two pass catchers with Eric Decker out, it wouldn't hurt to consider Peake as a punt play in daily fantasy moving forward. He turned 10 targets into five receptions for 43 yards.
| NAME | LAST WEEK | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amari Cooper | 13 | 60 | 10 |
| Michael Crabtree | 4 | 48 | 8 |
| Seth Roberts | 8 | 28 | 4.6 |
| Clive Walford | 2 | 21 | 3.5 |
| Jalen Richard | 3 | 17 | 2.8 |
Cooper and Crabtree continue to be reliable fantasy WRs. Cooper is a great play in cash games, while Crabtree's red zone prowess makes him ideal for tournaments in daily fantasy.
| NAME | LAST WEEK | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Antonio Brown | 8 | 64 | 10.6 |
| Sammie Coates | 4 | 35 | 5.8 |
| Jesse James | 3 | 29 | 4.8 |
| DeAngelo Williams | 0 | 23 | 3.8 |
| Le'Veon Bell | 7 | 24 | 8 |
It might be in your best interest to avoid Brown in daily fantasy this week, as Landry Jones is expected to start at QB for the injured Ben Roethlisberger.
| NAME | LAST WEEK | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Travis Benjamin | 5 | 44 | 7.3 |
| Tyrell Williams | 3 | 37 | 6.1 |
| Hunter Henry | 8 | 26 | 5.2 |
| Dontrelle Inman | 1 | 25 | 4.1 |
| Antonio Gates | 6 | 20 | 5 |
Henry has had three straight weeks with a touchdown and four straight games with at least 60 yards. It appears Gates has passed him the torch as Philip Rivers' TE and primary target.
| NAME | LAST WEEK | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tajae Sharpe | 3 | 39 | 6.5 |
| DeMarco Murray | 2 | 29 | 4.8 |
| Delanie Walker | 2 | 29 | 5.8 |
| Rishard Matthews | 3 | 27 | 4.5 |
| Andre Johnson | 0 | 21 | 3.5 |
No WRs are worthy of starting on the Titans' offense. Murray continues to be the centerpiece of the offense.
