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.
#Jets WR snaps vs Pittsburgh:
Garrett Wilson: 57 (100%)
Davante Adams: 55
Allen Lazard: 33
Mike Williams: 19

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.
