The Shot Caller's Report - Wk 6 Wide Receivers

Bye Weeks: Detroit, Houston, Las Vegas, Tennessee
QBs | RBs | WRs

Grab a Helmet

1) Darius Slayton vs. Baltimore

Slayton led the Giants in targets (7), receptions (6) and yardage (79) last week in Green Bay. It was his best effort of the season since returning from injury. With wideouts Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney still missing in action, Slayton again should see a heavy workload against a Ravens’ pass defense ranked next-to-last (44.7 FPts/G).

2) D.J. Moore @ Los Angeles Rams

The Rams’ run defense is excellent, but their pass defense has been horrible. They are allowing 42 fantasy points a game. D.J. Moore is still the guy to have over Robbie Anderson, who hasn’t done anything since Week 1. P.J. Walker can’t be any worse than Baker Mayfield (likely out 2-6 weeks with a high-ankle sprain).

3) Darnell Mooney vs. Washington (Thu.)

Despite everything the Bears’ pass game has been through, Mooney is still their best option, and led them in targets again last weekend in Minnesota. The Commanders are a bottom-five pass defense allowing wideouts 41.1 FPts/G. One of these days Mooney might even score. Maybe this Sunday.

Grab some Pine

Chrisitan Kirk

1) Christian Kirk @ Indianapolis

The Colts are No.1 against opposing wideouts allowing just 25.5 FPts/G. That’s not a lot to divide up between Kirk, Zay Jones, Marvin Jones and Jamal Agnew. Kirk has produced just 10.4 fantasy points the past two games. This isn’t the week he breaks out of his slump.

2) Josh Palmer and DeAndre Carter vs. Denver

The Broncos are one of three teams to have allowed just one touchdown pass through five games (also Houston and Cincinnati). They also allow just 26.7 FPts/G to opposing wideouts. Given that Mike Williams will likely get his share, that won’t leave much for Palmer or Carter. And none what-so-ever if Keenan Allen returns to action.

3) Any Arizona WR not named Hollywood @ Seattle

The Seattle pass defense is ranked fifth in fantasy points allowed (28.8). And with Marquise Brown dominating the wide receiver targets (55-of-121) that doesn’t leave Greg Dortch, A.J. Green or Rondale Moore much to work with. Add in Zach Ertz getting double-digit targets at TE in three of the last four games and the rest of the wide receiver room is being phased out… at least until DeAndre Hopkins returns.
