BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: How much can you trust a guy that has scored 30.6 PPR total points in the last three games while being targeted all of four times combined in those games? I'm not sure about that, but I know for sure that Jalen Guyton is the ultimate boom/bust play these days.
Playing under rookie quarterback Justin Herbert, Guyton has served the passer as a deep-field threat in two of the last three games in which they connected down the field. The wideout has put on monster numbers on such a low usage that it's truly mind-blowing. Only four receptions (on 7 targets) have yielded 205 yards for Guyton in the last three Chargers games.
Guyton has yet to catch more than two passes in a single match, and among WRs with 10+ targets through Week 7 he's second in aDOT at 22.1 yards downfield. He's also leading the league in Y/Tgt at 21.5 among that same group of players (Marcus Johnson is second at just 17.0 yards).
Is this production sustainable? Hell, no (nobody is averaging more than 4.55 PPR/Touch... except Guyton at 5.71). But if you're looking for a weekly flier playing a ton (he's averaging 53 snaps), Guyton is your guy. That role works (or not) in every league format, but have very clear in your mind what you're doing by playing Guyton and the fact that more probably than not he hands you a good nice putrid score if he-Herbert don't click.
