Lazard has scored 8.3 or more fantasy points in all but one game this year. More importantly, he has earned eight or more targets in half of the contests, including last week against the Denver Broncos. The veteran is an appealing flex option in deeper leagues this week, with four teams on a bye and several big-name wide receivers dealing with injuries.
The former undrafted free-agent wide receiver faces the Minnesota Vikings in London. Minnesota has surrendered the fourth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers (35.6), giving up 37 or more in back-to-back contests.
Last week, the Vikings gave up 19 receptions for 296 receiving yards, three touchdowns, and 57.3 fantasy points to the Green Bay Packers’ wide receivers despite Christian Watson leaving the game early with a high ankle sprain.
