Deep dives
Understanding Running Back Dynamics
The discussion highlights the performance disparity between Tyler Algier and Bijon Robinson within the Falcons' running game. Robinson has faced significantly more challenging defensive situations, specifically stacked boxes, indicating he has been tested more rigorously than Algier, whose statistics are influenced by a much lighter schedule. Despite Algier's good performance and rising popularity among fantasy analysts, it is essential to contextualize these numbers within the framework of the situations they encountered during games. Ultimately, while Algier remains a valuable backup, Robinson is still regarded as a premier fantasy asset due to his overall talent and role on the team.
Emerging Wide Receiver Trends
Michael Wilson's increasing target share with the Arizona Cardinals is an important trend to monitor, as he has recorded significantly higher percentages in recent games. His target share rose to 31.8% against Washington, indicating that he is becoming a more integral part of the passing game. Conversely, the performance of Jordan Whittington shows promise as he registered a 30% target share, positioning him as a potential asset in deeper leagues. With injuries impacting other players, such as Cooper Kupp, these changes in target dynamics could lead to greater opportunities for these emerging receivers as the season progresses.
