Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Notes

Justin Jefferson is the top play of the week. That is no secret. The Chargers are prone to shootouts, and Jefferson is one of the best wide receivers in the league. There should be a ton of points in this game, and Jefferson will have a lot to do with that. I understand if that isn’t any kind of hot take.

Then there is Keenan Allen on the other side of that game. Austin Ekeler is out again, and the Vikings don’t have a great defense. In the last game against the Titans, Allen had eight receptions for 111 yards and a touchdown. I expect a back-and-forth affair between the Chargers and the Vikings this weekend.

Has Mike Evans looked good or what? After hauling in six catches for 66 yards and a touchdown in Week 1, he followed that up with a whopping 171 yards on six catches and a touchdown. Evans and Mayfield might have a thing here. Tampa Bay check in as five-point home underdogs this week against the Eagles, and if the Buccaneers are able to keep this one close, Evans will likely have had much to do with that.

Good luck in Week 3!

That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS.
