BALLER MOVE: Sit in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR78
ANALYSIS: New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard was a popular waiver wire target after Week 1. The veteran wide receiver had six receptions on nine targets for 89 receiving yards and two touchdowns against the San Francisco 49ers, totaling 23.9 half-point PPR fantasy points. He caught a touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor in that game.

Unfortunately, Lazard severely regressed in Week 2. He had two receptions on four targets for 11 receiving yards, scoring 2.1 fantasy points. His role on offense disappeared, with Mike Williams seeing a significant uptick in snaps.
Therefore, fantasy players shouldn’t have Lazard on their roster in standard-size leagues. The veteran won’t see enough volume to be fantasy relevant on a consistent basis. Meanwhile, he faces the New England Patriots on Thursday night. While they had trouble slowing down the Seattle Seahawks wide receivers in Week 2, fantasy players shouldn’t expect much from Lazard tomorrow night.
