Welcome back!
This is it! This is where we get to watch our injury riddled teams go out with a whimper. Fantasy football is the best.
Seriously, though, good luck this week and go win some ships!
Analysis & Hype:
Top-five overall fantasy football leaders in full-PPR scoring now that bye weeks are over:
QB: Allen, Brady, Herbert, Stafford, Mahomes
RB: Taylor, Ekeler, Fournette, Harris, Mixon
WR: Kupp, Jefferson, Adams, Hill, Samuel
TE: Andrews, Kelce, Kittle, Hockenson, Pitts
AJ Dillon has the highest PFF running back grade since week 10
“AJ Dillon tripled Aaron Jones in carries (15 to 5), out-snapped him 34-29 and, though Jones held a 3-0 edge in targets, Dillon was only 4 behind in routes run (16 to 12). That's about the same as what we saw in Week 12, too. Dillon seems to be 1A and Jones the 1B right now.”
Most red zone carries:
Jonathan Taylor- 73
Leonard Fournette- 41
Dalvin Cook- 41
James Conner- 40
Antonio Gibson- 38
Tee Higgins (over his last three weeks)
9.7 targets/game
122 receiving yards/game
143 air yards/game
30% target share
22.9 points/game (WR6)
“Hunter Renfrow is the overall WR1 throughout the last 3 weeks.
Craziest yet... he only has one touchdown over that time.”
Hunter Renfrow has never dropped a red-zone target (59) in his career.
“In 2020, "Tua, sucks! All he does is checkdown!"
In 2021, "Mac Jones is the next great QB, anyone who ever doubted him is a fool!"
Tua's 2020 ADOT - 8.0
Mac's 2021 ADOT - 7.7”
“In the five games Russ has played with DK Metcalf since the OnlyFans foursome story broke:
* Tyler Lockett 21-444-2
* DK Metcalf 17-173-0”

/r/DynastyFF thread: “SF/PPR 2022 Rookie Rankings”
Deep Sleepers + Dynasty Stashes:
“Mike Williams will be an unrestricted free agent this spring. Josh Palmer (22 years old) stepping into incredible opportunity with Justin Herbert (23 years old).”

“Ja'Marr Chase
Weeks 1-7: 20.9 FPG
Weeks 8-14: 13.2 FPG
Over the latter stretch, Chase has 9 drops (158 air yards). 3 of those drops have come in the end zone, 4 have come on deep targets. If he caught all of those passes, he'd be averaging somewhere between 20.3 and 31.1 FPG” (This could potentially be a dynasty trade target post)
WFT paid Curtis Samuel $34m. Biggest game of year yesterday. Terry McLaurin (concussion) goes down. Samuel plays 14 snaps and has 0 catches.
Potential Trade Targets (Dynasty at this point of course):
Only two offensive lines have received a team PFF pass blocking grade under 50 since 2006 (furthest back we can go)
2021 Dolphins (49.9)
2019 Dolphins (46.1)
Most receiving yards lost on incomplete targets that were deemed to be the quarterback's fault (PFF)
1. Marquise Brown (542)
2. Courtland Sutton (420)
3. D.J. Moore (417)
(Totals could be higher since they don't include YAC, just aDOT * incomplete targets that were QB's fault)
DJ Moore would need 511 receiving yards in the next 4 games to have the most receiving yards of any WR ever in his first 4 seasons.
His QBs have been:
Cam Newton
Kyle Allen
Will Grier
Taylor Heinicke
Teddy Bridgewater
Sam Darnold
The Fun Stuff:
“I love that this is what got Urban Meyer shitcanned.
It feels like a Seinfeld bit.
George: After months of fruitless attempts I finally got fired!
Elaine: For what?
George: I kicked the kicker.
Jerry: You kicked the kicker?
George: I kicked the kicker.
Kramer: How hard?”

You and the guy she tells you not to worry about
Since Week 8, here is the WR3 and the WR67 in PPR leagues.
“Having a first round bye in the fantasy football playoffs is simply one of the best feelings anyone is capable of achieving in life. I’m sure there’s some other cool stuff out there too, but mostly this.”
“kickers don’t matter but one just put the final nail in urban meyer’s coffin”
“some bitches really built their teams around allen robinson, courtland sutton, and aj brown
it’s me, i’m bitches”
“AJ Green has been the healthiest perimeter receiver for the Cardinals this year. Simulation confirmed.”
