ANALYSIS: What a turn of events for Richie James, isn't it? James scored 33.7 PPR points through the first eight games of the season for an average of 4.2 FPPG. In fact, he only scored more than 4 PPR points in the first three weeks of play while not reaching that figure in the next five. Sheesh... From Week 11 on, though, James has scored a gaudy total of 98.8 PPR points averaging QB2-level 14.1 FPPG.
James is coming off his best game of the season as he's become the slot receiver in the Giants' offense and won't surrender that role next week nor through the postseason (or he shouldn't, at the very least). James finished Sunday with a perfect 7-for-7 catch for 76 yards and one TD on the day to hit 20.6 PPR points against Indy.
Richie had scored 17 PPR in W16 with another silly 8-of-12 for 90 yards line after catching 7-of-9 targets back in Week 14 for 61 yards and another TD. In the seven games he's played from Week 11 (included), James has scored four touchdowns while grabbing 37 of 45 total targets (82%).
There aren't many players locked into a better/bigger role than James entering W18 and the postseason let alone playing under a fantastic QB and putting up numbers weekly. Make adding James a priority in pretty much every league and start him without hesitation in even the slightest of deeper formats.
