Welcome back to “Part the Cloud”, where we’ll take a deep dive into defensive coverage schemes and how we can exploit them to find hidden gem Wide Receivers.
GOTTA KNOW WHERE YOU’VE BEEN…
Here’s a look back at my plays from Week 16:
- Malik Washington
- DKFP: 5.8 (1.3x)
- FDFP: 4.3 (0.7x)
- Wan’Dale Robinson
- DKFP: 13.2 (3.2x)
- FDFP: 9.7 (1.9x)
- Garrett Wilson
- DKFP: 11.4 (1.7x)
- FDFP: 9.4 (1.3x)
Wilson and Washington disappointed, plain and simple. Robinson had a pretty good game and was very involved. He had 12 targets to Nabers’s 14. Normally, their split is more stark but he was clearly part of the game plan. A touchdown would have been great, seeing as how 3 of those targets came in the red zone.
…To Know Where You’re Going
This week’s games project for lower scoring so the value floor might be a little higher than normal
Romeo Doubs
DK: $5100 (Projected Ownership: 7.75%), FD: $5600 (Projected Ownership: 9.52%)
I really wanted Watson in this matchup but the knee kept him out of practice all week. While there’s a chance he could go, I will pivot to Romeo Doubs. Over the past month, we have seen more Man Coverage and 1-Hi looks from the Vikings , but they started this season using more Cover 2. Doubs is the guy I would turn to against 1-Hi coverages.
Alec Pierce
DK: $4700 (Projected Ownership: 1.39%), FD: $5600 (Projected Ownership: 1.65%)
Richardson is out and that means we get another look at Joe Flacco. He came in after Richardson got hurt in week 4 and then started weeks 5, 6, 9, and 10. In these weeks, Pierce’s target share increased each week, peaking at 20%. Pittman was out that week so I don’t think we see 20% but we should see a double-digit target share against a defense that struggles to defend passes deep down field. His low catch rate means he will need to catch a big one for a TD but it’s possible given his Corner’s propensity to give up touchdowns.
In Summary
