WIDE RECEIVERS
START – George Pickens (DAL v. MIN): Dak loves forcing the ball to his alphas, and with CeeDee possibly out (concussion), I expect a massive target share where Pickens feasts on deep balls. Hell, even if Lamb plays, I don’t think the Vikings can hang with them both.
START – A.J. Brown (PHI v. LVR): The Raiders have absolutely nobody who can physically match up with Brown, and he’ll stay on track this week with a massive statistical explosion. Hurts will look his way early and often; sit back and enjoy the 30-point bomb incoming.
SIT – Christian Watson (GB @ DEN): Patrick Surtain II is a blanket, and even with his recent surge, Watson is tough to trust against the league’s premier shutdown corner. You are praying for a fluke 50-yard touchdown, but you are infinitely more likely to get two catches for 18 yards and a headache.
SIT – Khalil Shakir (BUF @ NE): The Patriots defense does fine work against opponents’ slot option, and Khalil is just too inconsistent to trust in your playoffs. I expect another TE-heavy week for Josh Allen, leaving Shakir with a hollow 4-point performance that kills your week.
