DFS: Week 12 AFC Target Tracker
Here's a team-by-team look at the most targeted players in the AFC through Week 11 (click here for NFC targets):
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Kamar Aiken | 8 | 75 | 7.5 |
Justin Forsett | 0 | 41 | 4.1 |
Crockett Gillmore | 8 | 42 | 5.25 |
Marlon Brown | 0 | 30 | 3 |
Maxx Williams | 4 | 27 | 3.37 |
The Ravens have lost Steve Smith Sr., Joe Flacco, and Forsett. Now, the Ravens passing offense is under the control of Matt Schaub. DFS players should only roster Aiken or Gillmore in GPP games going forward.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Charles Clay | 3 | 60 | 6 |
Robert Woods | 9 | 53 | 5.3 |
Sammy Watkins | 6 | 39 | 5.5 |
Chris Hogan | 7 | 36 | 3.6 |
LeSean McCoy | 10 | 35 | 4.3 |
The Bills' passing offense was ineffective in Week 11 and DFS players should be skeptical of Tyrod Taylor's ability to feed his receivers. The Bills receivers are only fit for GPP games.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
A.J. Green | 12 | 92 | 9.2 |
Marvin Jones | 9 | 67 | 6.7 |
Tyler Eifert | 3 | 64 | 6.4 |
Giovani Bernard | 10 | 45 | 4.5 |
Mohamed Sanu | 3 | 35 | 3.5 |
Green only had four catches on his 12 targets, while Eifert saved his fantasy day with two touchdowns. The Bengals offense has plenty of options, making even their elite plays risky choices on a weekly basis.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Travis Benjamin | 0 (BYE) | 82 | 8.2 |
Gary Barnidge | 0 (BYE) | 74 | 7.4 |
Andrew Hawkins | 0 (BYE) | 46 | 4.6 |
Brian Hartline | 0 (BYE) | 44 | 4.4 |
Taylor Gabriel | 0 (BYE) | 42 | 4.2 |
Johnny Manziel will likely start Week 12 but should not be expected to throw for 370+ yards again. Benjamin is a GPP play, while Barnidge could be rostered in both cash and GPP formats.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Demaryius Thomas | 8 | 111 | 11.2 |
Emmanuel Sanders | 0 (INACTIVE) | 85 | 9.44 |
Owen Daniels | 5 | 51 | 5.1 |
Vernon Davis | 6 | 41 | 3.7 |
C.J. Anderson | 2 | 23 | 2.3 |
Brock Osweiler will start once again in Week 12. Thomas and Sanders average enough targets to be options in all formats but their ceilings are somewhat limited with Osweiler at the helm.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
DeAndre Hopkins | 12 | 135 | 13.5 |
Nate Washington | 6 | 70 | 8.75 |
Cecil Shorts III | 5 | 57 | 8.14 |
Keith Mumphrey | 0 | 31 | 3.1 |
Hopkins had a monster day despite lining up against Darrelle Revis. He continues to be a cash and GPP option regardless of who is at quarterback. In Week 12, the Texans play New Orleans.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
T.Y. Hilton | 5 | 91 | 9.1 |
Donte Moncrief | 8 | 74 | 7.4 |
Coby Fleener | 5 | 55 | 5.5 |
Andre Johnson | 2 | 50 | 5 |
Phillip Dorsett | 0 (INACTIVE) | 23 | 3.28 |
Matt Hasselbeck was a functional backup in Week 11 but he alone limits the production of options like Hilton, Moncrief, and Fleener. DFS players should probably fade the Colts receivers until Andrew Luck returns.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Allen Robinson | 7 | 98 | 9.8 |
Allen Hurns | 4 | 72 | 7.2 |
Bryan Walters | 3 | 40 | 4 |
Julius Thomas | 8 | 41 | 6.83 |
T.J. Yeldon | 4 | 36 | 4 |
Robinson continued his consistent production, while Hurns was a dud - catching three passes for 19 yards. Thomas is an interesting option at tight end but has failed to produce consistently.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Jeremy Maclin | 4 | 72 | 8 |
Travis Kelce | 7 | 71 | 7.1 |
Albert Wilson | 4 | 31 | 3.87 |
Chris Conley | 1 | 27 | 3 |
De'Anthony Thomas | 0 | 22 | 2.2 |
The Chiefs' passing game is functional but hardly appealing in fantasy circles. Kelce is probably the best option of the bunch but has still been a disappointment this year.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Jarvis Landry | 7 | 96 | 9.6 |
Rishard Matthews | 3 | 60 | 6 |
Jordan Cameron | 5 | 52 | 5.2 |
Lamar Miller | 3 | 39 | 3.9 |
Kenny Stills | 2 | 38 | 3.8 |
Similar to Kansas City, the Miami pass offense is functional but does little in terms of fantasy production. DFS players can still rely on Landry in cash games and PPR formats, but there is not much appeal elsewhere.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Juilan Edelman | 0 (INACTIVE) | 88 | 9.77 |
Rob Gronkowski | 7 | 82 | 8.2 |
Danny Amendola | 12 | 60 | 6 |
Brandon LaFell | 8 | 38 | 3.8 |
Aaron Dobson | 2 | 21 | 3.5 |
Amendola had a fantastic Week 12 and was a great asset in cash and PPR games. Going forward, he looks like he will replace Edelman in an effective manner. Gronkowski had a disappointing Week 11 and Week a 12 matchup against the Broncos is a challenging one.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Brandon Marshall | 10 | 104 | 10.4 |
Eric Decker | 11 | 76 | 7.6 |
Chris Ivory | 1 | 21 | 2.33 |
Bilal Powell | 7 | 26 | 4.33 |
Kenbrell Thompkins | 0 (INACTIVE) | 15 | 5 |
Marshall and Decker continue to dominate targets and are reliable options in cash games. However, they tend be to more consistent than explosive making them fit for cash games.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Michael Crabtree | 11 | 96 | 9.6 |
Amari Cooper | 4 | 85 | 8.5 |
Latavius Murray | 0 | 30 | 3 |
Mychal Rivera | 2 | 29 | 3 |
Andre Holmes | 1 | 16 | 1.6 |
In what was supposed to be a shootout, Oakland and Detroit failed to produce exciting fantasy numbers. In Week 12, the Raiders take on Tennessee where Crabtree and Cooper should be more productive.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Antonio Brown | 0 (BYE) | 114 | 11.4 |
Heath Miller | 0 (BYE) | 50 | 5 |
Martavis Bryant | 0 (BYE) | 42 | 8.4 |
Markus Wheaton | 0 (BYE) | 32 | 3.2 |
Darrius Heyward-Bey | 0 (BYE) | 32 | 3.2 |
Brown and Bryant are great options and seem to fit both cash and GPP games. However, a Week 12 matchup against the Seahawks is intimidating.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Danny Woodhead | 2 | 62 | 6.2 |
Stevie Johnson | 8 | 55 | 6.87 |
Antonio Gates | 3 | 46 | 9.2 |
Ladarius Green | 3 | 40 | 5 |
Dontrelle Inman | 5 | 28 | 4 |
Week 11 was a debacle for the San Diego offense and is cause for concern going forward. In Week 12, the Chargers take on Jacksonville in a soft matchup so DFS players can take solace in that.
NAME | WEEK 11 | TOTAL | AVG |
---|---|---|---|
Delanie Walker | 10 | 66 | 6.6 |
Kendall Wright | 0 (INACTIVE) | 46 | 6.57 |
Dexter McCluster | 2 | 36 | 3.6 |
Harry Douglas | 5 | 36 | 4 |
Dorial Green-Beckham | 6 | 32 | 3.2 |
The Titans offense is treacherous for daily fantasy purposes. DFS players can look to Walker as a strong option at tight end, but still have to worry about the play of Marcus Mariota every week.
