Wide Receiver Sleepers, Risers, Breakouts for Fantasy Football - Targets, Air Yards, Snaps Trends for Week 16

Chris Godwin - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

You are already aware that wide receivers will play a critical role in the success of your fantasy football 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 15th 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.

All noteworthy changes in usage and production will be blended into the equation as we progress through the fantasy postseason. That will bolster your efforts to determine which wide receivers should be in your lineups, and which are worthy of remaining on your rosters. 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.

Noah Brown had failed to surpass five targets during four of his six matchups from Weeks 6-14. That included the five targets that he registered in Week 14. However, the career-best 11 targets that he garnered in Week 15 launched a rise of +6 in his week-to-week total.

Darius Slayton was targeted eight times in Week 15, which established a season high. It was also his highest total since Week 13 of the 2022 regular season. Slayton had also been limited to just two targets in Week 14, which resulted in an increase of +6.

Drake London played on 43 snaps and ran 18 routes in Week 15, but was only targeted three times by Desmond Ridder. That transpired one week after London had secured his second double-digit target total of the season. That resulted in a drop of -8.

Zay Flowers was targeted 10 times in Week 14, which was the fourth time that he had attained double digits during his rookie season. However, he was only targeted twice in Week 15, which fueled a decline of -8.

Curtis Samuel led all wide receivers with five red zone targets during his matchup in Week 15. Amon-Ra St. Brown was targeted four times, while Noah Brown and Rashee Rice garnered three. Curtis Samuel, Noah Brown, and Adam Thielen captured two targets inside the 10-yard line, while Samuel and Brown also collected two targets inside the 5-yard line.

Five Things I Noticed

1. Anyone who has invested in one of the Rams' critical offensive resources is aware that significant injuries have impacted the Los Angeles offense at various times of the season. Matthew Stafford sustained a UCL sprain in his right thumb that fueled his exit from the team's Week 8 matchup and rendered him inactive in Week 9.

Cooper Kupp’s season had been had been delayed until Week 5 due to a hamstring injury. He also suffered an ankle injury in Week 11 that hampered his effectiveness. However, Stafford, Kupp, and Puka Nacua are currently unencumbered by injuries as many of your teams have advanced into the fantasy postseason.

This has contributed to the surge in productivity for a Rams aerial attack that has emerged among the league's most potent units in recent weeks. The timing of this development has also been highly beneficial to fantasy managers.

Stafford has vaulted into a tie for third in scoring since Week 12 (22.4 points per game). The 15-year veteran is now sixth among all signal-callers in attempts (144) and completions (95) since Week 12. He is also fifth with 1,060 passing yards (265) per game, has constructed a 12:1 touchdown touchdown-to-interception ratio, and is distributing 68.4% of his passes to wide receivers.

Nacua has now collected 32 targets (8.0 per game) since Week 12, along with 18 receptions (4.5 per game) and 266 receiving yards (66.5). Nacua has also been targeted on 26.4% of his routes, has accumulated 278 air yards, and has attained a 30.2% air yards share. Nacua is also eighth overall in yards after catch (139) and is averaging 2.20 yards per route run.

Kupp is ninth among all wide receivers with 26 targets (8.7 per game) since Week 13. He is also fourth overall with 22 receptions (7.3 per game) and is fourth with 265 receiving yards (88.3 per game). Kupp has also been targeted on 24.8% and is averaging 2.52 yards per route run.

Those numbers were partially fueled by the production generated in Week 15 when the Rams capitalized on their favorable matchup against an overmatched Washington pass defense.

During a game in which Kyren Williams and the Los Angeles ground game was extremely effective, Stafford still connected on 25 of his 33 passing attempts, while generating 258 yards and two touchdowns.

Kupp and Nacua tied for the team lead with eight targets, while Kupp was tied for third among all wide receivers with eight receptions and was sixth with 111 receiving yards. Kupp also produced a touchdown for the third consecutive week, was fifth in yards per route run (3.70), and rose to fifth with 25.1 points in Week 15.

Nacua collected five receptions and generated 50 yards in Week 15. However, he has now captured 8+ targets during three of his last four outings. He also averaged 94.5 yards in Weeks 13-14, while rising to 10th with an average of 19 points per game during that span. Kupp and Nacua should be cemented into all lineups when the Rams host New Orleans in Week 16, then visit the Giants in Week 17.

2. Chris Godwin entered Week 14 averaging 7.1 targets, 4.4 receptions, and 50.5 yards per game. Those results remained below the numbers that he attained from 2019 to 2022 when Godwin averaged 8.6 targets, 6.4 receptions, and 78.2 yards per game. Godwin was also averaging 10.9 points per game, which was exactly 4.0 points below the average that he attained in 2022 (14.9).

Godwin was operating within a Tampa Bay aerial attack that at the time was averaging 220.4 yards per game. Baker Mayfield had performed capably during his first season under center with the Buccaneers. However, Mayfield’s penchant for locating Mike Evans had been well-chronicled this season as Evans was averaging 8.6 targets and 84.3 yards per game. Evans had also soared to second among all wide receivers with 10 touchdowns, was eighth in receptions of 20+ yards (17), and was second with six receptions of 40+ yards.

Evans was also eighth with an average of 18 points per game while securing his place at the periphery of WR1 status. Godwin was functioning as an unexciting WR3 entering Week 14. However, his numbers during Tampa Bay’s last two matchups should be encouraging to fantasy managers who had selected him in Round 6 (68/WR28) during the draft season.

Godwin had also attained double-digit target totals in just two of his 12 matchups from Weeks 1-13. He also failed to exceed seven targets in six consecutive contests from Weeks 8-13, while averaging 6.0 per game during that span. However, he has now accumulated 23 targets during his last two outings, including the 12 that he captured when Tampa Bay visited Green Bay in Week 15.

He also established a new season high when he collected 10 receptions in Week 15, which was his highest weekly total since Week 12 of 2022. He also stockpiled a season-high 155 yards during the matchup, which was his highest yardage total since Week 12 of 2019. He also secured season highs in yards per target (12.9), yards per reception (15.5), yards before catch (83), and yards after catch (72). Godwin also registered these numbers despite being listed as questionable with a knee issue prior to the matchup.

Godwin also vaulted to second among all wide receivers with his 23 targets in Weeks 14-15 (11.5 per game), while rising to third in receptions (15-7.5 per game) and third in receiving yards (208/104 per game). He has also been targeted on 33.8% of his routes while averaging 3.06 yards per route run.

Mayfield connected on 22 of his 28 passes while generating 381 yards and four touchdowns in Week 14. That included his connections with Evans, who collected four of his six targets, accrued 57 yards, and produced his 11th touchdown of the season.

Evans has averaged 6.0 targets, 2.5 receptions, and 32.5 yards per game in Weeks 14-15, which coincides with statistical ascension. Tampa Bay will host Jacksonville in Week 16 as Evans and Godwin can both be considered WR2s during that favorable matchup. The Buccaneers will remain at home while facing New Orleans in Week 17.

3. A collection of wide receivers delivered highly productive outings in Week 15, and their numbers were embraced by fantasy managers who benefited during their critical playoff matchups.

Jordan Addison captured all six of his targets while generating his second-highest yardage total of the season (111) when Minnesota visited Cincinnati. It was the first time that Addison was able to eclipse 100+ yards since Week 7. He also produced multiple touchdowns for the second time during his stellar rookie season.

Addison also led all wide receivers with 29.1 points, while finishing ninth with an average of 3.00 yards per route run and seventh with 55 yards after catch.

Jaylen Waddle operated as Miami’s primary receiving weapon in Week 5 as Tyreek Hill was confined to spectator status when the Dolphins hosted the Jets. Waddle was targeted nine times by Tua Tagovailoa, which is his highest weekly total since Week 8. Waddle also garnered eight receptions, which tied his season best.

Waddle also eclipsed 100+ yards for the the third time this season, while assembling a season-high 142. That was also his highest yardage total since Week 16 of 2022.

Waddle also registered a season-high 15.8 yards per target, while his 17.8 yards per reception was the highest since Week 2. Waddle also led all wide receivers in yards per route run (6.45) and was second in targets per route run (40.9%).

Terry McLaurin was limited to a season-low three targets when Washington hosted Miami in Week 12. He also failed to register a reception during that contest, which was the first time that had occurred since Week 14 of the 2021 regular season. However, McLaurin’s numbers improved considerably when the Commanders returned from their bye week.

McLaurin was targeted 12 times in Week 15, which tied his season high. He also collected six receptions, which was his highest total since Week 7. McLaurin also eclipsed 100 yards for the first time since Week 13 of 2022, while stockpiling a career-high 141 yards.

McLaurin has now been targeted 10+ times during five different matchups this season, including two of his last three contests. He also generated his first touchdown since Week 8, while securing season highs in yards per target (11.75), yards per target (23.50), and aDOT (19.8).

Amari Cooper was averaging 6.6 targets per game from Weeks 9-13 while failing to exceed six targets during three of his five matchups during that span. However, Cooper is tied for fourth overall with 22 targets (11 per game) since Week 14.

Cooper is also 12th overall with 11 receptions (5.5 per game) and has vaulted to sixth with 186 yards (93 per game) during that two-game span. His yardage total was fueled by the 109 that he assembled in Week 15, which was the first time that he had eclipsed 100+ since Week 9.

Cooper has also secured a 25.3% target share while operating with Joe Flacco during those contests. He has also been targeted on 24.2% of his routes while averaging 2.04 yards per route run.

4. While it would have been optimal for all wide receivers to deliver favorable outings to fantasy managers during their Week 15 matchups, that scenario simply did not transpire.

Zay Flowers entered Week 15 averaging 6.9 targets, 4.9 receptions, and 51.8 yards per game. He had also eclipsed 10+ targets in four different matchups while securing at least five receptions in eight different contests. Flowers had also reached 60 receiving yards six different times throughout his rookie season.

Flowers also played on 59 snaps while securing an 84% snap share when Baltimore visited Jacksonville in Week 15. However, he was only targeted twice during the matchup, which represented his second-lowest total of the season.

Flowers was also limited to just one reception -- which tied his previous low. He also manufactured just seven receiving yards, which established a new season low.

Those results were unexpected considering the numbers that Flowers had assembled during the year. That includes his usage and output just one game earlier when Flowers had commandeered 10 targets, captured six receptions, and generated 60 yards when the Ravens hosted the Rams in Week 14.

Lamar Jackson had entered Week 15 averaging 29 attempts per game, but only launched 24 passes against the Jaguars. Todd Monken may be inclined to elevate Flowers’ involvement when the Ravens contend with San Francisco in Week 16.

Drake London was targeted 11 times in Week 14, which was his first double-digit target total since Week 6. His usage propelled him to his most prolific outing of the season as he established career highs in receptions (10) and receiving yards (172) while finishing second overall with 29.2 points.

Unfortunately, there was a distinct decline in London’s numbers during Atlanta’s Week 15 matchup with Carolina, which was discouraging for fantasy managers. He operated with an 85% snap share and ran 18 routes. Yet, he was only targeted three times, which was his lowest total since the Falcons' season opener. He was also limited to just two receptions while registering 24 yards.

London has been unable to exceed three receptions in six different matchups during the season while failing to surpass 31 yards five times. The inability to utilize Atlanta’s primary receiving weapon while capitalizing on London’s unquestioned talent is a deficiency within the strategic approach of Arthur Smith.

London’s disappointing numbers in Week 15 were also ill-timed for fantasy managers. This week’s matchup with Indianapolis isn’t daunting. Although the potential for London to be underutilized remains intact.

5. Unfortunately, there have also been numerous injuries to wide receivers this season that have altered the course of seasons for NFL franchises, and for the managers who had invested in the receivers who sustained those health issues.

Several additional injuries emerged during Week 15 that were also impactful to fantasy managers during their postseason matchups. 

That includes the shoulder issue sustained by Ja'Marr Chase during the Bengals' Week 15 matchup with Minnesota. Chase is contending with a sprained AC joint and appears destined to miss Cincinnati's visit to Pittsburgh on Saturday.

That would provide an opportunity for Tee Higgins to resuscitate what has been the most disappointing season of his career if that scenario develops.

Chase’s injury will also create another unexpected transition for the Bengals’ offense, which was previously transformed when Joe Burrow played his final snap of the season in Week 11.

That instantly elevated Jake Browning under center and he has now operated as the Bengals’ starter during each of the their last four matchups. Browning has now connected 98 of his 129 passing attempts (76%) during that sequence, while he has generated 1,180 yards (295 per game), averaged 9.1 yards per attempt, and accumulated six touchdowns during his four starts.

Chase was second among all wide receivers with 99 targets before the transition to Browning, while securing a league-high 11.0 per game. He was also averaging 7.7 receptions/91.2 yards per game, was second in yards after catch (382), and had attained an air yards share of 38.2%. Chase had also risen to eighth with an average of 20.1 points per game.

During Browning’s four starts, Chase has averaged 6.5 targets/5.5 receptions/80.8 yards per game. He has secured a 30.2% air yards share, was eighth in yards after catch (129), and is 20th with an average of 15.0 points per game.

Higgins averaged 7.3 targets, 3.9 receptions, and 46.9 yards per game with Burrow spearheading the offense (Weeks 1-10). He has also averaged 5.0 targets, 3.0 receptions, and 56.3 yards per game with Browning under center.

Those numbers are below the career-high averages that he secured in 2021 (7.9 targets/5.3 receptions/77.9 yards per game). His overall numbers have also been negatively impacted by his four-game absence while contending with health issues during his fourth season. A rib injury issue sidelined him in Week 5, while a hamstring issue made him unavailable in Weeks 9-11.

Browning completed 29 of his 42 attempts, while also accumulating 324 yards -- which was the second time that he has eclipsed 320+ during his last three games. Browning also targeted Higgins eight times in Week 15, which was the fifth time that Higgins had eclipsed 8+ this season. However, it was also just the second time that he had accomplished it since Week 3.

Higgins also collected four receptions while accruing 61 receiving yards. It was the fifth time that Higgins had exceeded 60+ this season, which included both of his last outings. He also generated his first touchdowns since Week 2. Higgins is now positioned to operate as Browning's primary receiving weapon if Chase is unavailable when Cincinnati visits Pittsburgh in Week 16.
