DFS: Week 4 AFC Target Tracker

Here's a team-by-team look at the most targeted players in the AFC through Week 3 (click here for NFC targets):

Baltimore Ravens

Smith Sr. has become a target monster by necessity in Baltimore. With no other proven pass-catching option, Smith Sr. has 33 targets in the past two weeks and is the third-highest targeted receiver in the league.

Buffalo Bills

Harvin has put together three decent games relative to the Bills 24th-ranked pass game. Fantasy players are still looking for better production from Watkins - and to make things worse, he missed the second half of Week 3 with a calf injury that has him questionable for Week 4.

Cincinnati Benglas

Green is returning to WR1 form after a disappointing Week 1. He was targeted 13 times in Week 3, which is what DFS players are looking for from a player of his calibre. The Bengals passing game predominantly runs through Green and Eifert.

Cleveland Browns

Outside of Benjamin, DFS players are going to be hard-pressed to find anything of value in Cleveland. Barnidge made headlines in Week 3 with 105 yards and a touchdown but he was going up against an Oakland defence that had been obliterated by tight ends in weeks previous.

Denver Broncos

Targets in Denver still go two ways: Sanders or Thomas. Tight end Daniels saw a spike in Week 3 - garnering nine targets and converting one for a touchdown - but don't expect him or anyone else to challenge Sanders or Thomas for targets.

Houston Texans

Hopkins is the fifth-most targeted receiver in the league and has been a rewarding DFS pick in Weeks 1 and 3. Though Shorts and Washington have a high target average, neither is a great DFS option.

Indianapolis Colts

Targets are evenly dispersed in Indianapolis due to the proficiency of Andrew Luck. The biggest trend to notice here is the ineffectiveness of Johnson this year; Johnson was targeted once in Week 3 and has put up a meager 51 receiving yards so far.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Robinson is the main target in Jacksonville as expected, but besides Week 2 he has not been very rewarding in DFS. The Jaguars passing attack ranks 22nd in the league and needs to improve for any of the other options to become viable in DFS.

Kansas City Chiefs

Thanks to garbage time on Monday night, the Chiefs salvaged their offensive production. Maclin, Kelce, and Charles are the only three options in Kansas with Kelce and Charles being the most reliable.

Miami Dolphins

Out of nowhere, Matthews has been the best receiver in Miami with respect to DFS. Though Landry has hit double digit targets three weeks in a row, Ryan Tannehill has still spread the wealth around.

New England Patriots

Edelman and Gronkowski have seen the majority of targets as expected. Lewis has been a surprising fantasy option through the first three weeks and is averaging an impressive 6.33 targets - making him an appealing FLEX option in PPR formats.

New York Jets

Marshall has been consistent through the first three weeks of the season working the short passing game with Ryan Fitzpatrick. Decker sat out Week 3 and may miss Week 4 as well. With Decker out, Marshall's value jumps even higher.

Oakland Raiders

Derek Carr has been fantasy gold the past two weeks if you had the guts to play him. Cooper and Crabtree have obviously been his main targets with both nearly hitting double digit targets in each of the first three weeks.

Pittsburgh Steelers

The knee injury to Ben Roethlisberger should put a significant damper on the effectiveness of all the Steeler receivers. Brown was a DFS must regardless of format but that status may be tested going into Week 4.

San Diego Chargers

Allen eclipsed his Week 1 target total of 17 by the slimmest of margins in Week 3. These totals make it hard to read into his extremely poor showing in Week 2 where he caught two balls on four targets. As the only legitimate receiver in San Diego, expect high target totals on a regular basis.

Tennessee Titans

The receiving core in Tennessee should probably be avoided by DFS players. Wright and Walker are the better options but neither is that appealing as of right now.
