Russell Gage Has Decent PPR Value In Week 16
5 years agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage has caught five or more passes in three of his past four games. With Calvin Ridley (abdominal) out for the season, Gage is now the team's de facto No. 2 receiver, even though he plays more of a slot receiver-like role. This week, the Falcons face the Jaguars in a game that figures to have a decent amount of scoring. Gage should see at least six or seven targets in the game, which should give him the chance to come down with about five catches for 50 yards, making him a solid WR3 or flex in PPR leagues. His upside is limited due to his 8.9 yards per reception on the year, though, and he isn't a great option in non-PPR leagues because of his lack of yardage production.
