WR: Ja’Marr Chase, Bengals:
Chase is well on his way to scoring 20 TDs. This week, he plays Cleveland who loves to use man coverage (Chase’s favorite) and gives up the most explosive plays. If Tee Higgins misses the game with an injury, Chase could have 200+ receiving yards.
WR: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seahawks
Who is the worst team in the league, DVOA wise, against slot WRs? Minnesota. Who does JSN play this week? Minnesota. Lock him in everywhere as he gets 100 receiving yards and a TD.
WR: Malik Nabers, Giants
Atlanta has the second-worst DVOA to WR1 and has been getting peppered with targets regardless of the QB throwing him the ball. Look for Nabers to see another 12-14 targets with a great shot at 18-22 fantasy points.
WR: DeAndre Hopkins, Chiefs
No one loves a revenge narrative more than I do, and this one is as good as it gets. Hopkins is playing for a playoff BYE against his old Texans team that has struggled against opposing receivers. Lock Hopkins in for 80 receiving yards and a TD.
WR: Tre Tucker, Raiders
Call it a hunch or call it Visionary, but Tucker is in a great spot to succeed. Aidan O’Connell is expected to return on Sunday, and the Raiders play the Jaguars, who play a ton of man coverage. O’Connell is not afraid to take a few chances deep to keep the defense honest. Tucker gets 85 receiving yards and finds the end zone.
