DFS: Week 12 NFC Target Tracker
Here's a team-by-team look at the most targeted players in the NFC through Week 11 (click here for AFC targets):
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Larry Fitzgerald | 13 | 98 | 9.8 |
John Brown | 3 | 57 | 5.7 |
Michael Floyd | 0 (INACTIVE) | 47 | 5.22 |
David Johnson | 2 | 26 | 2.6 |
Darren Fells | 2 | 18 | 2.5 |
Without Floyd, Fitzgerald became the focal point for the Cardinals offense. He is a cash game must-roster. Assuming Floyd returns in Week 12, he is a legitimate option in cash and GPP games.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Julio Jones | 15 | 134 | 13.4 |
Devonta Freeman | 0 | 6.2 | 6.2 |
Jacob Tamme | 3 | 56 | 5.6 |
Leonard Hankerson | 7 | 46 | 6.5 |
Roddy White | 9 | 39 | 3.9 |
The loss of Freeman would be a significant blow to the Falcons passing offense. However, Jones and Hankerson should see even more action if Freeman is out for any length of time.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Greg Olsen | 6 | 83 | 8.3 |
Ted Ginn Jr. | 8 | 67 | 6.7 |
Devin Funchess | 8 | 35 | 3.5 |
Jerricho Cotchery | 6 | 30 | 3.33 |
Corey Brown | 0 | 28 | 2.8 |
Cam Newton is making the Panthers receivers look a lot better than they are. Regardless of Newton's play, Olsen is fit for both cash and GPPs, while the receivers are limited to GPP action.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Martellus Bennett | 6 | 76 | 7.6 |
Alshon Jeffery | 0 (INACTIVE) | 57 | 13.25 |
Marquess Wilson | 7 | 46 | 4.6 |
Eddie Royal | 0 (INACTIVE) | 36 | 6 |
Matt Forte | 0 (INACTIVE) | 36 | 5.14 |
Jeffery was inactive Sunday, allowing Wilson to see a season high in targets. With Jeffery's constant health issues, figuring out the Bears passing game has been extremely difficult. DFS players should probably reserve Chicago players for GPPs at this point.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Jason Witten | 3 | 65 | 6.5 |
Terrance Williams | 4 | 54 | 5.4 |
Cole Beasley | 3 | 45 | 4.5 |
Dez Bryant | 9 | 42 | 8.4 |
Darren McFadden | 3 | 32 | 3.2 |
Tony Romo returned with a respectable performance of 227 yards and two touchdowns. Bryant saw a healthy amount of action and should continue to see the most targets every week. The Cowboys take on the Panthers on Thursday night.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Calvin Johnson | 9 | 96 | 9.6 |
Golden Tate | 11 | 84 | 8.4 |
Eric Ebron | 2 | 43 | 5.37 |
Lance Moore | 2 | 40 | 4 |
Ameer Abdullah | 2 | 30 | 3 |
Johnson and Tate both had 75+ yards in receiving but failed to score. However, their high number of targets makes them fit for GPP and cash games despite being reliant on the volatile arm of Matthew Stafford.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Randall Cobb | 9 | 87 | 8.7 |
Davante Adams | 4 | 53 | 6.6 |
Richard Rodgers | 5 | 53 | 5.3 |
James Jones | 11 | 50 | 5 |
Ty Montgomery | 0 (inactive) | 19 | 3.1 |
Targets and production are spread throughout the Packers' offense. This healthy distribution makes it difficult for DFS players to spot any reliable patterns. DFS players will have to accept volatility from individual Packers.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Stefon Diggs | 9 | 56 | 8 |
Mike Wallace | 2 | 52 | 5.2 |
Kyle Rudolph | 9 | 47 | 4.7 |
Jarius Wright | 5 | 31 | 3.1 |
Adrian Peterson | 2 | 24 | 2.4 |
The Vikings pass offense should be faded by DFS players. Teddy Bridgewater's game managing is poison for fantasy stats.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Brandin Cooks | 0 (BYE) | 78 | 7.8 |
Willie Snead | 0 (BYE) | 64 | 6.4 |
Benjamin Watson | 0 (BYE) | 58 | 5.8 |
Marques Colston | 0 (BYE) | 48 | 5.33 |
Mark Ingram | 0 (BYE) | 46 | 4.6 |
The Saints will return from the bye with a matchup against the Houston Texans. With a week of preparation and rest, expect Drew Brees to put solid numbers. Identifying the best DFS option among the receivers, however, is a challenge.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Odell Beckham Jr. | 0 (BYE) | 102 | 10.2 |
Rueben Randle | 0 (BYE) | 55 | 5.5 |
Shane Vereen | 0 (BYE) | 48 | 4.8 |
Larry Donnell | 0 (BYE) | 41 | 5.12 |
Dwayne Harris | 0 (BYE) | 40 | 4 |
Beckham is the only reliable option in New York and is fit for all games as long as you are willing to pay up. Randle and Harris have some appeal in GPPs but they are also prone to duds.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Jordan Matthews | 4 | 84 | 8.4 |
Zach Ertz | 4 | 62 | 6.2 |
Darren Sproles | 7 | 51 | 5.1 |
DeMarco Murray | 5 | 40 | 4 |
Miles Austin | 1 | 29 | 2.9 |
The Eagles passing game is dangerous territory even when Mark Sanchez isn't the starting quarterback. Matthews, Sproles, and Ertz see enough targets to be fantasy relevant but should be reserved for GPPs.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Anquan Boldin | 7 | 61 | 7.6 |
Torrey Smith | 3 | 48 | 4.8 |
Quinton Patton | 3 | 31 | 3.1 |
Grant Celek | 3 | 28 | 2.8 |
Carlos Hyde | 0 (BYE) | 15 | 2.14 |
The 49ers put up a decent fight against the Seahawks but ultimately their offense is not built to put up a lot of points. San Francisco receivers should be faded as a result.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Jimmy Graham | 3 | 66 | 6.6 |
Doug Baldwin | 6 | 56 | 5.6 |
Jermaine Kearse | 5 | 38 | 3.8 |
Tyler Lockette | 5 | 34 | 3.4 |
Marshawn Lynch | 0 (INACTIVE) | 21 | 3 |
Graham had another poor week and continues to be underutilized in Seattle. DFS players should only roster a Seahawk in a GPP situation.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Tavon Austin | 5 | 55 | 5.5 |
Jared Cook | 6 | 47 | 4.7 |
Kenny Britt | 5 | 39 | 3.9 |
Stedman Bailey | 0 (SUSPENDED) | 25 | 3.12 |
Brian Quick | 0 | 15 | 2.5 |
Whether it is Case Keenum or Nick Foles, the Rams receivers should be faded by DFS players. There is simply not enough individual talent and not enough general production to warrant a roster spot.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Mike Evans | 7 | 93 | 10.33 |
Vincent Jackson | 6 | 46 | 6.57 |
Charles Sims | 4 | 37 | 3.7 |
Doug Martin | 1 | 24 | 2.4 |
Adam Humphries | 5 | 23 | 3.83 |
Evans and Jackson both have high ceilings, especially when Jameis Winston puts up five touchdowns. However, DFS players should temper expectations after Winston's Week 11 performance. Austin Seferian-Jenkins is still on the sidelines.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Pierre Garcon | 4 | 73 | 7.3 |
Jordan Reed | 8 | 56 | 7 |
Jamison Crowder | 1 | 56 | 5.6 |
Ryan Grant | 0 | 31 | 3.1 |
DeSean Jackson | 8 | 20 | 5 |
Jackson had one of his long touchdowns in Week 11 but was relatively ineffective outside of that. His deep play potential will continue to make him a GPP option. Reed suffered a knee injury and is likely to miss Week 12.
