Deep dives
CeeDee Lamb's Situation After Dak Prescott's Injury
The injury to Dak Prescott significantly impacts CeeDee Lamb's value, dropping him to the 29th overall ranking for the rest of the season. Despite the setback, there is potential for Lamb to maintain a reasonable target share with backup quarterback Cooper Rush, as evidenced by a 33% target share in their previous games together. However, Lamb's recent shoulder injury complicates his outlook, raising concerns about playing time and re-injury risks. Owners are advised to hold onto him, as he could still see eight to ten targets per game if he is on the field.
Concerns over the Chicago Bears' Offense
With the Bears' recent struggles, there is mounting concern regarding their offense and the production of key players like DJ Moore and Cole Kmet. The inconsistency from rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, combined with the loss of offensive linemen, further complicates expectations for any offensive players in Chicago. While the schedule appears more favorable, the limited target distribution suggests that only one wide receiver may thrive in the current setup, with Roman Dunze emerging as a preferred option over DJ Moore. There is skepticism about how the Bears will navigate their upcoming games, impacting the overall fantasy value of their players.
James Conner's Rising Fantasy Stock
James Conner's recent performance has led to him being moved up significantly in rankings, thanks to a more favorable usage in competitive games. Despite a slight injury concern, Conner’s role in neutral game scripts has solidified his position as a primary running back. The Cardinals have a favorable schedule in the upcoming weeks, enhancing Conner's potential value. His strong past performances indicate he is a buy-low opportunity for fantasy players looking to capitalize on his increasing workload.
Insights on the New York Jets' Offense
The Jets’ offensive scheme has led to a concentrated target distribution among their star players—Brees Hall, Garrett Wilson, and Devontae Adams, making up a large percentage of the targets. With recent injuries to other wide receivers, the offense shows promise for these key fantasy contributors as they face a favorable schedule. The condensed target share can lead to increased production, making them solid options for fantasy managers. However, concerns linger due to the Jets' inconsistent play, and acquiring these players might be challenging given their potential and current performances.
Adam Levitan, John Daigle, Mark Dankenbring, and Jack Miller recap an interesting Week 9 and look ahead to Week 10. They discuss the latest rankings changes to the ETR Rest of Season Top 150.
