Deep dives
Concerns Over Colts' Offense and Player Performance
The performance of the Indianapolis Colts, particularly in relation to Anthony Richardson's struggles, is a significant concern. Richardson has thrown 19 or more times in nine games this season, achieving a completion rate above 50% in only one, which adversely impacts the productivity of key players like Jonathan Taylor. Taylor, previously a dynamic player, is experiencing a downturn, with a mere five combined targets over his last four games. This ongoing inefficiency makes it challenging to trust the Colts' offensive players in fantasy football contexts.
Analyzing the Impact of Target Shares in Fantasy Performance
Target shares significantly influence the fantasy performances of players, as highlighted by the unpredictable usage of various receivers. Amari Cooper’s fluctuating participation rates reflect a concerning trend, as he registered a 42% route participation in week 15 without seeing a single target. Meanwhile, Malik Neighbors has stood out despite a challenging situation, boasting an impressive 41% target share in his latest game, which underscores his value in PPR formats. The variability in usage among players emphasizes the importance of monitoring target distribution for effective fantasy team management.
