Here's a team-by-team look at the most targeted players in the AFC through Week 10 (click here for NFC targets):

Baltimore Ravens

NAME WEEK 10 TOTAL AVG
Kamar Aiken 14 67 7.44
Justin Forsett 4 41 4.5
Crockett Gillmore 4 34 4.85
Marlon Brown 1 30 3.33
Maxx Williams 4 23 3.28

In Steve Smith's absence, Aiken saw a lot of action. Specific to DFS, the Ravens receivers should be limited to GPPs at this time. If Aiken continues to see a healthy amount of targets, he could be worked into cash game lineups.

Buffalo Bills

NAME WEEK 10 TOTAL AVG
Charles Clay 6 57 6.33
Robert Woods 7 44 4.88
Sammy Watkins 7 33 5.5
Chris Hogan 0 29 3.22
LeSean McCoy 5 25 3.57

Buffalo only averages 200 yards passing so despite the dispersal of targets, there is often little actual production. Watkins and Clay are likely the best options in DFS with Watkins possessing the explosive talent fit for GPPs.

Cincinnati Bengals

NAME WEEK 10 TOTAL AVG
A.J. Green 7 74 8.88
Tyler Eifert 7 61 6.77
Marvin Jones 9 58 6.44
Giovani Bernard 8 35 4.37
Mohamed Sanu 2 32 3.55

The Bengals' ability to spread the ball so effectively ultimately end up hindering explosive individual performances. With that said, Green and Eifert are better suited for cash games than GPPs.

Cleveland Browns

NAME WEEK 10 TOTAL AVG
Travis Benjamin 11 82 8.2
Gary Barnidge 8 74 7.4
Andrew Hawkins 8 46 4.6
Brian Hartline 9 44 4.4
Taylor Gabriel 3 42 4.2

The Browns offense was surprisingly effective in Week 11 as Johnny Manziel threw it 45 times for 372 yards. However, the Browns receivers are best reserved for GPP games, while Barnidge is rosterable in both formats.

Denver Broncos

NAME WEEK 10 TOTAL AVG
Demaryius Thomas 10 103 11.4
Emmanuel Sanders 4 85 9.44
Owen Daniels 5 46 5.11
Vernon Davis 4 35 4.37
C.J. Anderson 1 21 2.33

Sanders only saw four targets as he battled through injury in Week 10. With Brock Osweiler starting in Week 11, DFS players could look to Broncos wideouts as interesting contrarian plays in GPP games.

Houston Texans

NAME WEEK 9 TOTAL AVG
DeAndre Hopkins 11 123 13.66
Nate Washington 5 64 8
Cecil Shorts III 7 52 8.66
Keith Mumphrey 2 31 3.44

Hopkins is the only option in Houston and is fit for cash and GPP games. However, the quarterback issues in Houston likely limit his production. The other Texans receivers should be faded.

Indianapolis Colts

NAME WEEK 10 TOTAL AVG
T.Y. Hilton 0 (BYE) 87 9.66
Donte Moncrief 0 (BYE) 66 7.33
Coby Fleener 0 (BYE) 50 5.55
Andre Johnson 0 (BYE) 48 5.33
Phillip Dorsett 0 (BYE) 23 3.28

Matt Hasselbeck will start for Indianapolis in Week 11; like the Broncos, the Colts receivers will be difficult to trust. They are best employed in GPPs with Hasselbeck under center.

Jacksonville Jaguars

NAME WEEK 10 TOTAL AVG
Allen Robinson 11 91 10.11
Allen Hurns 9 68 7.55
Bryan Walters 5 37 7.44
Julius Thomas 5 33 6.6
T.J. Yeldon 6 32 4

Robinson and Hurns are one of the best receiving duos in the league and both had touchdowns in Week 11. However, Hurns is dealing with an abdominal issue that may force him from action. If he fails to play in Week 11, look for Robinson to see even more targets.

Kansas City Chiefs

NAME WEEK 10 TOTAL AVG
Jeremy Maclin 6 68 8.5
Travis Kelce 9 64 7.11
Albert Wilson 4 27 3.85
Chris Conley 0 (INACTIVE) 26 3.25
De'Anthony Thomas 5 22 2.44

The Chiefs passing game is best faded at this point. Kelce is a decent option at tight end but there are better options available in both cash and GPP formats.

Miami Dolphins

NAME WEEK 10 TOTAL AVG
Jarvis Landry 12 89 9.88
Rishard Matthews 6 57 6.33
Jordan Cameron 3 47 5.22
Kenny Stills 4 36 4
Lamar Miller 4 36 4

Landry saw another week of double-digit targets and is a fantastic option in cash games. Outside of Landry, the Dolphins receivers hardly offer any fantasy appeal.

New England Patriots

NAME WEEK 10 TOTAL AVG
Juilan Edelman 5 88 9.77
Rob Gronkowski 7 75 8.33
Danny Amendola 11 48 5.33
Brandon LaFell 6 30 7.5
Aaron Dobson 4 19 3.8

The loss of Edelman is a huge blow for the Patriots' offense - especially following the season-ending injury to Dion Lewis. Expect Gronkowski, Amendola and LaFell to dominate the targets going forward. Amendola and LaFell are now legitimate fantasy options.

New York Jets

NAME WEEK 10 TOTAL AVG
Brandon Marshall 10 94 10.44
Eric Decker 11 65 8.12
Chris Ivory 3 20 2.22
Kenbrell Thompkins 4 15 5
Bilal Powell 0 (INACTIVE) 19 3.8

Marshall and Decker are the only options in the Jets' passing game. Their dominance over targets makes them great cash game options, while their propensity to snag touchdown catches makes them GPP plays, as well.

Oakland Raiders

NAME WEEK 10 TOTAL AVG
Michael Crabtree 5 85 9.44
Amari Cooper 9 81 9
Latavius Murray 5 30 3.33
Mychal Rivera 7 27 3
Andre Holmes 2 15 1.66

Neither Cooper or Crabtree surpassed 100 yards or caught a touchdown in Week 11. However, that should not deter DFS players from drafting them going forward. They are both options in cash and GPP games.

Pittsburgh Steelers

NAME WEEK 10 TOTAL AVG
Antonio Brown 14 114 11.4
Heath Miller 7 50 5
Martavis Bryant 10 42 8.4
Markus Wheaton 2 32 3.2
Darrius Heyward-Bey 0 32 3.2

Brown and Bryant are another dangerous receiving duo that can be rostered in both cash and GPP games. However, neither will be in action for Week 11 with the Steelers on a bye.

San Diego Chargers

NAME WEEK 10 TOTAL AVG
Danny Woodhead 0 (BYE) 60 6.66
Stevie Johnson 0 (BYE) 47 6.71
Antonio Gates 0 (BYE) 43 10.75
Ladarius Green 0 (BYE) 37 5.28

Week 11 will mark the Chargers' first game without both Keenan Allen and Malcom Floyd. Woodhead, Johnson, and Gates are expected to dominate targets in San Diego but how effective the offense is without Allen and Floyd is the real question.

Tennessee Titans

NAME WEEK 9 TOTAL AVG
Delanie Walker 4 56 7
Kendall Wright 0 (INACTIVE) 46 6.57
Dexter McCluster 5 34 3.77
Harry Douglas 3 31 3.44
Justin Hunter 4 31 3.44

The Titans' offense struggled against Carolina as Marcus Mariota threw for 185 yards. Things should be easier in Week 11 against the Jaguars but Titans receivers should still only be played in GPP lineups.
