Trevor Hillstrom, one of the top fantasy experts in the business, was at the Vikings game last week, and he said that in the second half, the team was having Jefferson run shorter pass patterns. Jefferson was far more effective against the Cardinals and had a solid fantasy day. Expect the Vikings to continue using Jefferson the same way and to finish the game with 150 yards and a touchdown.
George Pickens, Steelers
George Pickens does an outstanding job against man coverage, and the Browns run the second-most man coverage in the league. Additionally, the Browns give up the most explosive plays and allow the most deep balls to opposing receivers. That plays right into the hands of Pickens, who should have 100 yards receiving and a touchdown.
Malik Nabers, Giants
In a short time, Nabers has shown that he is an absolute beast when it comes to playing against man coverage. The Saints secondary plays that coverage at a top-five clip in the league, and Drew Lock will feature Nabers to the tune of 18-22 fantasy points.
Ladd McConkey, Chargers
Right now, McConkey is questionable with an injury, but I expect that he will play on Sunday night, and if he does, I think he will be able to carve up the Chiefs secondary, which has not played very well since injuries have decimated them. McConkey is one of the top receivers in the league against man coverage and should finish the game with 7 catches for 90 yards and a touchdown.
Ray-Ray McCloud, Falcons
Minnesota has the worst DVOA versus slot receivers. Additionally, because they blitz so much, Kirk Cousins will have to get the ball out of his hands quickly, and there’s no better person to do this than McCloud, who will be waiting for the outlet pass. Look for McCloud to have a very under-the-radar 15-point fantasy day.
