Wide Receiver Sleepers, Risers, Breakouts for Fantasy Football - Targets, Air Yards, Snaps Trends for Week 10

Demario Douglas - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Phil analyzes fantasy football wide receiver risers and fallers, looking at last week's targets and receptions to find Week 10 (2023) buy-lows or sell-highs.

You are already aware that wide receivers will play a critical role in the success of your teams. The undeniable volatility that exists with the running back position has also presented an increasing rationale for prioritizing wide receivers when you build your rosters – both at the onset of your drafts and as you manage your teams throughout the entire season.

The numbers that are generated by all wide receivers provide the foundation for this weekly statistical breakdown of the position, which I will be constructing for a sixth consecutive season. This will be the ninth installment that will examine game-specific data, including updated totals for targets, air yards, targets per route run, yards per route run, red-zone targets, and snap counts. The information that is contained in this weekly report will analyze how various receivers are being utilized, and how effectively they are capitalizing on their opportunities.

As the season progresses noteworthy changes in usage and production will be blended into the equation. Statistics from our player pages at RotoBaller were included during the compilation of data, while Pro Football Reference, PFF, Rotowire, Fantasy Points Data, NextGenStats, and Rotoviz were also used as resources in the creation of this report.

Five Things I Noticed

1. One of the most intriguing matchups in Week 9 took place in Frankfurt, Germany, where two of the league’s top three passing attacks were on display.

The ramifications were significant for fantasy managers who were invested in members of a Miami passing attack that was averaging a league-best 305.1 yards per game and a third-ranked Kansas City aerial attack that was averaging 276.3 yards per game.

This matchup also presented Tyreek Hill with the first opportunity to face his former team since the trade that sent him from Kansas City to Miami. It initially appeared that Hill could have difficulty replicating the numbers that he had stockpiled during his tenure with the Chiefs.

Hill was third among all wide receivers with 6,037 yards (80.5 per game) from 2017 to 2021. He was also second in touchdowns (50) and led all wide receivers with 452 rushing yards during that span. Hill had also accrued 625 targets (8.3 per game) and collected 418 receptions (5.8 per game) during those contests.

Sustaining exceptional usage and production ultimately has not been an issue for Hill since he resurfaced with the Dolphins. He entered Week 9 having accumulated 257 targets (10.3 per game), 180 receptions (7.2 per game), 2,724 yards (109 per game), and 15 touchdowns during his first 25 games with Miami.

Hill had also entered Week 9 with a league-high 1,014 receiving yards (126.8 per game). He was leading the league in targets per route run (38.5%), and yards per route run (4.49), was second in receptions (61/7.6 per game), third in targets (87/10.9 per game), and fourth in air yards (965).

Hill ultimately accumulated 57 snaps and ran 34 routes during Miami’s Week 9 matchup with Kansas City. He also secured a 30.3% target share, which was the eighth highest among all receivers in Week 9. Hill secured 10 targets and has now reached double digits in six of his nine matchups, including each of his last four. Hill also collected eight receptions, which was the sixth time he has eclipsed 8+ this season, which includes each of his last three games.

However, Hill also accrued 62 receiving yards which was his third-lowest total of the season, and the first time that he did not accumulate 88+ since Week 4. Hill’s 7.8 yards per reception also established a season-low, while he accumulated 72 air yards, and attained a 26.2% air yards share. He was also targeted on 29.4% of his routes and averaged 1.82 yards per route run. Hill’s fumble that was returned for a 59-yard Kansas City touchdown will remain the most widely-discussed play from his first encounter with his former team.

Hill also completed the contest with 12.5 points, which was his second-lowest total of the season. However, he still leads the league with an average of 24.9 per game. Anyone who has Hill contained on their rosters can now look forward to his return from Miami’s bye when the Dolphins host Las Vegas in Week 11.

2. The return of Diontae Johnson has delivered a belated reward to fantasy managers for their decision to select the fifth-year receiver in Round 6 during draft season (63/WR25).

Kenny Pickett has distributed 59.8% of his passes to Pittsburgh’s wide receivers since Week 7, which ranks 13th overall  Johnson has commandeered a 31.2% share, while George Pickens is second (20.4%), and no other Steelers have reached a 13% share during that span.

This has propelled Johnson to a team-high 29 targets in three games since he reemerged, which places him sixth among all wide receivers. He has also averaged 9.7 per game, which expanded to 11.5 per game since Week 8. Johnson is also tied for fifth overall with 20 receptions (6.7 per game) and is fifth in receiving yards (254/84.7 per game).

Johnson has run 110 routes during that three-game sequence, has been targeted on 26.4% of those routes, and has averaged 2.31 yards per route run. He is also eighth in air yards (313), and ninth in air yards share (43.1%).

Johnson also generated his first touchdown since Week 17 of the 2021 regular season, when Pittsburgh hosted Tennessee in Week 9. That brought a welcome conclusion to an unwanted streak of 655 days without generating a touchdown.

George Pickens has been targeted 18 times (6.0 per game) during the three matchups since Johnson’s return. He has also accrued eight receptions (2.7 per game) while assembling 128 receiving yards (42.7 per game). Pickens had been averaging 8.3 targets, 4.3 receptions, and 89.3 yards per game from Weeks 2-6, while Johnson remained unavailable.

Since Week 8, Pickens’ target share has diminished to 15.7%, while he was limited to a season-low five targets in two consecutive outings. Pickens has also accumulated a total of just three receptions and 21 yards. That includes his numbers in Week 9 when Pickens was limited to two catches and finished with -1 receiving yards. He easily established season-lows in yards per target (-0.20), yards per reception (-0.50), yards before catch (-1), and yards after catch (0).

Pickens had also accrued 424 air yards and had soared to third among all receivers with a 50.7% air yards share from Weeks 2-6. He was also fifth overall in targets per route run (35.9%), and was sixth in yards per route run (3.88). Since Week 7, Pickens has been targeted on 17.3% of his routes and is averaging 1.23 yards per route run. He has also accumulated 273 air yards while attaining a 37.6% air yards share.

Johnson is also averaging 17.1 points per game since Week 7, which places him 10th overall. Pickens had been averaging 16.6 points per game from Weeks 2-6 but is averaging 8.9 since Week 7. Johnson should operate as a high-end WR3/WR2 for managers, while the extensive targeting of Johnson has fueled Pickens' descent into low-end WR3/WR4 territory. 

3. Jahan Dotson appeared positioned to exceed the expectations of his ADP during draft season (76/WR33) as he entered Week 1. There was also legitimate rationale for believing that Dotson could deliver a breakout season during his second year with Washington.

This was partially fueled by his late-season statistical surge in 2022, when Dotson led the Commanders in multiple categories from Weeks 15-18 including targets (26/6.5 per game), receptions (16/4.0 per game), receiving yards 290/72.5 per game), air yards (361), targets per route run (22.2%), and yards per route run (2.48).

Unfortunately, Dotson’s numbers through Washington’s first six matchups of the season were highly disappointing for fantasy managers who
had envisioned Dotson operating as a high-end WR3 or beyond.

Dotson averaged 5.2 targets, just 2.3 receptions, and only 23.3 yards per game from Weeks 1-6. He registered a 15.3% target share, failed to exceed three receptions during four different games, and only surpassed 30 yards once. This uninspiring sequence culminated with Dotson being relegated to one target, and failing to register a reception in Week 6 - even though he secured an 80% snap share, and accumulated a team-high 27 routes.

However, Dotson has averaged 8.7 targets per game since Week 7, while capturing 8+ in all three of his matchups. His target share has risen to 19.2%, while he has also averaged 5.7 receptions/73.3 yards per game. He has also vaulted to 10th overall in targets (26), and 10th in receiving yards (220), while also rising to 11th in receptions.

Dotson had also failed to register a reception of 20+ yards from Weeks 1-6 and had registered just 4.5 yards yards per target, and 8.2 yards per reception, with an aDOT of 8.4. Since Week 7, Dotson has also accumulated four receptions of 20+ yards, while his numbers have also improved in yards per target (8.5), yards per reception (12.9), and aDOT (10.3).

Dotson has also been targeted on 20.2% of his routes while averaging 1.99 yards per route run since Week 8. Dotson has also averaged 100 air yards per game while securing a 26.2% air yards share during that two-game span. He had been averaging 43 air yards per game while operating with a 17.1% air yards share from Weeks 1-6. He was also targeted on just 13.1% of his routes and was only averaging 0.59 yards per route run.

Curtis Samuel was sidelined with a toe injury in Week 9 but should return when Washington visits Seattle on Sunday.  However, Dotson's prospects for sustaining his recent statistical surge remain favorable regardless of Samuel's status. He is operating in a Washington offense that leads the league in pass-play percentage (67.9%). Sam Howell enters Week 10 with a league-high 353 passing attempts and is second among all signal callers with 2,471 passing yards (284.6 per game).

Terry McLaurin is averaging 9.7 targets/75.3 yards per game) since Week 7, although Dotson has attained a higher average in receptions per game (5.7/5.3). Dotson is also 11th overall with an average of 17 points per game since Week 7 while McLaurin is averaging 14.9.

Despite the initial frustration that was experienced by managers earlier in the season, Dotson has now emerged as a viable WR3. That should be beneficial for anyone who is attempting to navigate remaining bye weeks and other roster challenges.

4. Christian Kirk and Calvin Ridley entered their Week 9 bye with a combined 43.7% target share (Kirk 22.2%), (Ridley 21.5%), while tight end Evan Engram led Jacksonville with a 22.6% share. The  Jaguars ranked 10th in scoring (24.1 points per game), which nearly replicated their average during 2022 (23.8 points per game). Jacksonville is also 25th in pass play percentage (55.4%), which represents a decline when contrasted with their ranking of 14th in 2022 (58.9%).

The reinstatement of Ridley had fueled a surge in anticipation surrounding his prospects of regaining the level of proficiency that he had delivered during his 2020 breakout season. Ridley’s arrival also impacted the outlook for Kirk, whose ADP was stationed in Round 6 during draft season (64/WR 26).

However, Kirk leads Jacksonville’s wide receivers in multiple categories from Weeks 1-8. That includes his team-high 274 routes, while he is also pacing the Jaguars’ wide receivers with 60 targets (7.5 per game).

Kirkis is also leading the Jaguars’ wide receivers in receptions (43/5.4 per game), receiving yards (520/65 per game), targets per route run (21.9%), yards after catch (174), and yards per route run (1.99). Kirk is also 23rd overall with an average of 13.9 points per game.

Anyone who selected Calvin Ridley near his Round 3 ADP during draft season (28/WR14), is experiencing unfulfilled expectations. He is currently 44th among all wide receivers with an average of 11.4 points per game.

Ridley has run 267 routes while accruing 58 targets (7.3 per game). Ridley is also 16th among all wide receivers with 740 air yards and 12th in air yards share (40.3%). He has also collected 33 receptions (4.1 per game) while generating 451 receiving yards (56.4 per game).

Ridley had eclipsed a double-digit target total in Week 1 (11), and Week 8 (10), while averaging 6.2 per game from Weeks 2-7. However, he has accumulated 30 targets (7.5 per game) since Week 5, while Kirk has collected 25 (6.3 per game) during that four-game span.

Kirk had eclipsed 12+ targets in two of his three matchups from Weeks 2-4 while averaging 10.7 per game. However, his average dropped to 5.7 per game from Weeks 6-9, as he failed to exceed six targets during all three matchups.

Kirk still edged Ridley in receptions per game (4.8/4.5) and yards per game (65.8/60) from Weeks 5-9, while Ridley leads the tandem in targets per route run (22.6%/18.9%), air yards (417/227), and air yards share (45.6%/24.8%).

A protracted knee injury has sidelined Zay Jones for five games, although he should return for the Jaguars’ Week 10 matchup with San Francisco. Jones has averaged 6.0 targets/2.7 receptions/26 yards per game and will siphon a percentage of opportunities from Ridley and Kirk when he resurfaces. However, Kirk should deliver high-end WR3 output during his upcoming matchups, while Ridley should be deployed as a WR3.

5. Demario Douglas has now operated with a 75.2% snap share during his last three matchups. The transformation in his season since Week 7  has also presented the talented rookie with a prospective path toward functioning as New England’s WR1 throughout the remainder of the season.

Douglas accumulated 2,193 yards during his collegiate career at Liberty, including 1,694 yards during his final two seasons (2021/2022). The 5’8”, 165-pound Douglas was the 28th wide receiver to be selected during last April’s NFL Draft when New England secured him with the 210th overall pick. Douglas was drafted 23 spots after Kayshon Boutte, who had also been selected by the Patriots during the same round.

Douglas attained a 41% snap share during the Patriots’ season opener, but his share dropped to an average of 19.5% from Weeks 2-5. Douglas was also sidelined by a concussion in Week 6 and entered Week 7 averaging 3.4 targets, 2.0 receptions, and 28.6 yards per game.

However, Douglas has eclipsed a 77% snap share in each of his last two outings, including the season-high 83% that he attained in Week 9. Douglas leads the Patriots in routes run (101) during that sequence, is averaging 6.7 targets per game, and has accumulated seven during each of his last two outings. He is also averaging 4.7 receptions per game, after collecting five in Weeks 8 and 9. Douglas is also averaging 44.7 yards per game, which has been fueled by two contests with 54+.

Douglas also leads New England in each of those categories since Week 7, while also pacing the team in air yards (126), and securing a 19% air yards share. He has been targeted on 19.8% of his routes while averaging 1.33 yards per route run.

Kendrick Bourne had been leading the Patriots in targets (55/6.9 per game), receptions 37 (4.7 per game), and receiving yards 406 (50.8 per game) before he sustained a torn ACL during New England’s Week 8 matchup at Miami. DeVante Parker suffered a concussion during that same contest.

JuJu Smith-Schuster also contended with a concussion which sidelined him in Weeks 6-7. He is currently operating with career-low averages in both receptions per game (3.0), and yards per game (20). Boutte has been a non-entity while being relegated to 55 snaps and four targets from Weeks 1-9.

A full return to health from New England’s veteran wide receivers could conceivably impede Douglas from operating as New England's primary receiving weapon on a weekly basis. However, Bourne was previously the only Patriot wide receiver to accumulate numbers with any level of consistency this season.

This contributes to the rationale for believing that Douglas can operate as a WR3 for fantasy managers. Anyone who is participating in leagues where Douglas still remains available on the waiver wire should seize him this week.
