Here's a team-by-team look at the most targeted players in the NFC through Week 10 (click here for AFC targets):
| NAME | WEEK 10 | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Larry Fitzgerald | 15 | 85 | 9.44 |
| John Brown | 3 | 54 | 6 |
| Michael Floyd | 9 | 47 | 5.22 |
| David Johnson | 1 | 24 | 2.66 |
| Darren Fells | 4 | 16 | 2.66 |
Floyd had a superb Week 10 but suffered a hamstring injury that may limit him in Week 11. Overall, targets are well distributed in Arizona though Fitzgerald and Floyd have seen more action of late. Fitzgerald continues to be a great cash game play.
| NAME | WEEK 10 | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Julio Jones | 0 (BYE) | 119 | 13.22 |
| Devonta Freeman | 0 (BYE) | 62 | 6.88 |
| Jacob Tamme | 0 (BYE) | 53 | 5.88 |
| Leonard Hankerson | 0 (BYE) | 39 | 6.5 |
| Roddy White | 0 (BYE) | 30 | 3.33 |
The Falcons return from the bye to face Indianapolis. Whether Hankerson is available for Week 11 is still a concern. Jones and Freeman are the top options in Atlanta but both will cost you heavily in DFS.
| NAME | WEEK 10 | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greg Olsen | 8 | 77 | 8.55 |
| Ted Ginn Jr. | 8 | 59 | 6.55 |
| Corey Brown | 1 | 28 | 3.11 |
| Devin Funchess | 2 | 27 | 3 |
| Jerricho Cotchery | 3 | 24 | 3 |
The strength of Carolina's running game continues to limit the Carolina passing game. Aside from Olsen, the Panthers receivers are too volatile and ineffective to roster in either cash or GPP games.
| NAME | WEEK 10 | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Martellus Bennett | 3 | 70 | 7.77 |
| Alshon Jeffery | 4 | 57 | 13.25 |
| Marquess Wilson | 3 | 39 | 4 |
| Eddie Royal | 0 (inactive) | 36 | 6 |
| Matt Forte | 0 (inactive) | 36 | 5.14 |
One of the biggest surprises in Week 10 was the reduced target load for both Bennett and Jeffery. Running back Jeremy Langford dominated Week 10. In Week 11, the Bears take on Denver's stout defense.
| NAME | WEEK 10 | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jason Witten | 5 | 62 | 7.75 |
| Terrance Williams | 3 | 50 | 6.25 |
| Cole Beasley | 1 | 42 | 5.25 |
| Dez Bryant | 12 | 33 | 8.25 |
| Darren McFadden | 4 | 29 | 3.22 |
Tony Romo will return in Week 11 and that should bring some life to the Cowboys' passing game. Bryant and Witten should expect to see a heavy workload with the return of Romo as they are his two most trusted options.
| NAME | WEEK 10 | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calvin Johnson | 9 | 87 | 9.66 |
| Golden Tate | 4 | 73 | 8.11 |
| Eric Ebron | 8 | 41 | 5.85 |
| Lance Moore | 6 | 38 | 4.22 |
| Ameer Abdullah | 1 | 28 | 3.11 |
Matthew Stafford continues to put up middle-of-the-pack statistics despite his proven ability to be explosive. The Lions have a soft matchup against the Raiders in Week 11 so Johnson and Tate could be DFS options on Sunday.
| NAME | WEEK 10 | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Randall Cobb | 10 | 78 | 8.66 |
| Davante Adams | 21 | 49 | 8.16 |
| Richard Rodgers | 5 | 48 | 4.77 |
| James Jones | 2 | 39 | 4.33 |
| Ty Montgomery | 0 (inactive) | 19 | 3.8 |
Aaron Rodgers had 61 attempts in Week 10, with a whopping 21 targets going to Adams. However, with all of the options in Green Bay, DFS players will have an extremely difficult time predicting who will be the most productive on a week-to-week basis.
| NAME | WEEK 10 | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mike Wallace | 2 | 50 | 5.55 |
| Stefon Diggs | 2 | 47 | 7.83 |
| Kyle Rudolph | 4 | 38 | 4.22 |
| Jarius Wright | 2 | 26 | 2.66 |
| Charles Johnson | 0 | 13 | 1.85 |
The Vikings' receivers continue to be a complete fade candidate. Diggs is the only feasible option but should only be employed in GPPs.
| NAME | WEEK 10 | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brandin Cooks | 8 | 78 | 7.8 |
| Willie Snead | 1 | 64 | 6.4 |
| Benjamin Watson | 5 | 58 | 5.8 |
| Marques Colston | 5 | 48 | 5.33 |
| Mark Ingram | 4 | 46 | 4.6 |
Like Green Bay, the number of options in New Orleans end up causing DFS players headaches on a week-to-week basis. Cooks has put up three strong games in a row but had been frustrating DFS players before Week 8.
| NAME | WEEK 10 | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Odell Beckham Jr. | 12 | 102 | 10.2 |
| Rueben Randle | 4 | 55 | 5.5 |
| Shane Vereen | 4 | 48 | 4.8 |
| Larry Donnell | 0 (inactive) | 41 | 5.12 |
| Dwayne Harris | 9 | 40 | 4 |
Beckham Jr. continues to be the only option in New York and is fit for either cash or GPP games as long you are willing to pay up. The other receivers in New York should be faded.
| NAME | WEEK 10 | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jordan Matthews | 5 | 80 | 8.88 |
| Zach Ertz | 10 | 58 | 6.44 |
| Darren Sproles | 6 | 44 | 4.22 |
| DeMarco Murray | 7 | 35 | 3.88 |
| Miles Austin | 4 | 28 | 3.11 |
Mark Sanchez will start in Week 11, making the Eagles' receivers a big question mark. Matthews could be viewed as a contrarian play in this situation and will be best fit for GPPs.
| NAME | WEEK 10 | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anquan Boldin | 0 (BYE) | 54 | 7.71 |
| Torrey Smith | 0 (BYE) | 45 | 5 |
| Quinton Patton | 0 (BYE) | 28 | 3.11 |
| Carlos Hyde | 0 (BYE) | 15 | 2.14 |
The 49ers receivers should likely be faded entirely. However, if you must employ one, consider Boldin or Smith in a GPP game only.
| NAME | WEEK 10 | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jimmy Graham | 8 | 63 | 7 |
| Doug Baldwin | 10 | 50 | 5.55 |
| Jermaine Kearse | 2 | 33 | 3.66 |
| Tyler Lockette | 1 | 29 | 3.22 |
| Marshawn Lynch | 2 | 21 | 3 |
Baldwin eclipsed 100 yards and picked up a touchdown last week, but DFS players should see that as an outlier performance and fade the Seattle receiving corps this week.
| NAME | WEEK 10 | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tavon Austin | 4 | 50 | 5.55 |
| Jared Cook | 3 | 41 | 4.55 |
| Kenny Britt | 3 | 34 | 3.77 |
| Stedman Bailey | 0 (SUSPENDED) | 25 | 3.12 |
| Brian Quick | 7 | 15 | 3 |
The Rams offense should be faded entirely - especially with Case Keenum taking over in Week 11. At best, Austin is a GPP play but is still hard to justify as there are plenty of other players to take risks on.
| NAME | WEEK 10 | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mike Evans | 13 | 86 | 10.75 |
| Vincent Jackson | 0 (inactive) | 40 | 6.66 |
| Charles Sims | 5 | 33 | 3.66 |
| Keith Humphries | 3 | 18 | 4.5 |
| Austin Seferian-Jenkins | 0 (inactive) | 10 | 2 |
The return of Seferian-Jenkins could actually happen in Week 11, and would almost certainly result in Evans losing some targets. Jackson's status for Week 11 is still a question mark.
| NAME | WEEK 10 | TOTAL | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pierre Garcon | 2 | 67 | 7.44 |
| Jordan Reed | 4 | 58 | 8.28 |
| Jamison Crowder | 5 | 55 | 6.11 |
| Ryan Grant | 0 | 31 | 3.44 |
| DeSean Jackson | 5 | 12 | 4 |
Reed was the red-zone option for Kirk Cousins in Week 10, catching two touchdowns. However, DFS players should keep in mind the general ineffectiveness of the Washington offense. Getting caught up in their Week 10 performance would be a mistake.
