BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5
ANALYSIS: New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard (chest) had his fantasy value is as but cratered by the arrival of newly-signed wide receiver Davante Adams. The seventh-year pro is now the team's WR3 behind Adams and Garrett Wilson which will mean much fewer targets going forward.

With only 33 snaps to Adams' 55 and Wilson's 57, The Lizard will have trouble registering as a fantasy-relevant option going forward unless he starts getting an abnormally high rate of end zone targets, which is unlikely. He had a decent game in Week 7, but was only targeted four times.
In addition, he didn't practice either Wednesday or Thursday due to a chest injury, and he may not play in Week 8 at all. If he does play, there's a chance he could be on a snap count or have restricted targets. It's not worth the risk starting him this week.
