Tyrod Taylor has played very well this year in three of his healthy games. He\u2019s scored at least 16 fantasy points in all three of those games and hasn\u2019t thrown an interception in any of those three. Taylor\u2019s one clunker came in his first game back from injury where he threw three interceptions. This past week he led the Texans to an upset win over the Tennessee Titans. In that game, Taylor only had 107 passing yards but he was able to pitch in two scores on the ground along with another 28 yards. That part of Taylor\u2019s game is what makes Taylor very interesting for fantasy purposes. In those four starts, he\u2019s up to 106 yards and three scores on the ground now. This week against the Jets, expect the good times to keep rolling for Taylor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Daniel Jones<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><b>NYG<\/b> <b>&#8211; 33%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><b> v PHI<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>Tua Tagovailoa<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><b>MIA<\/b> <b>&#8211; 45%) v CAR<\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">IT&#39;S FLY-ROD TAYLOR \u2708<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TyrodTaylor?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@TyrodTaylor<\/a> | \ud83d\udcfa \u00bb <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFLonCBS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@NFLonCBS<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Rbp3M9wsDO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/Rbp3M9wsDO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Houston Texans (@HoustonTexans) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HoustonTexans\/status\/1462496765421277187?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">November 21, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3><b>Running Back \u2013 Ty Johnson (NYJ &#8211; 21%) @ HOU<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s just call it like it is and say that it\u2019s a rough week for running back streamers. The Jets normal starting running back, Michael Carter, suffered an ankle injury that will keep him out a few weeks. Ty Johnson likely won\u2019t see the full workload as he\u2019ll likely split with Tevin Coleman but Johnson seems like the likelier bet to see the majority of the passing game usage considering how he\u2019s been used to this point in the year. He had been effective too as he saw a month-long stretch where he scored double-digit PPR points in all four games. This week\u2019s matchup is a juicy one against the Texans. The Texans have been one of the worst teams and defenses this year and have allowed the tenth-most fantasy points to running backs so far. Assuming they don\u2019t have another out-of-body experience like they did this past week, Johnson and the Jets should be able to find some room against them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Tevin Coleman<\/b> <b>(NYJ &#8211; 3%) @ HOU,<\/b> <b>Boston Scott (PHI &#8211; 21%) @ NYG<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Wide Receiver \u2013 Laviska Shenault Jr. (JAX &#8211; 39%) v ATL<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fool me once, shame on you&#8211;fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, well, that\u2019s just rude and uncalled for. Laviska Shenault has fooled everyone twice so far. The first time was when he was one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=laviska%20shenault%20breakout&amp;src=typed_query&amp;f=top\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most hyped preseason sleepers<\/a>. The next time was when D.J. Chark went down with a season-ending injury. Now Jamal Agnew, who had been being used as the primary slot weapon, is now also out for the year. It might finally be time that Urban Meyer uses Shenault correctly as a major slot weapon. This week will go a long way in seeing how he\u2019s used moving forward. This week\u2019s matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/falcons\/\" target=\"_self\">Atlanta Falcons<\/a> is a great one. The Falcons secondary is horrible and has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to fantasy points to wide receivers this year. Shenault has all the talent he had heading into the year and maybe it just takes a while for him to capitalize on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">With Jamal Agnew headed to season-ending IR, will Urban Meyer FINALLY use LaViska Shenault in that role?<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Jack Caporuscio (@Caporuscio_Jack) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Caporuscio_Jack\/status\/1463176627169509389?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">November 23, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Van Jefferson<\/b> <b>(LAR &#8211; 46%) @<\/b> <b>GB,<\/b> <b>Sterling Shepard (NYG &#8211; 32%) v PHI<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tight End \u2013 Cole Kmet (CHI &#8211; 26%) @ DET<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last week looked like it was going to be Cole Kmet week but that went poorly. Kmet had seen at least six targets in three straight weeks and running more routes than earlier in the season. Even the coaches were publicly stating how he\u2019s been specifically designed more opportunities as he\u2019s doing more things right. That did not come to fruition as he put up a stinker with 2.2 fantasy points, even without Allen Robinson. There\u2019s a reason for optimism, however, and that reason comes in the way of a Thanksgiving Day date with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/lions\/\" target=\"_self\">Detroit Lions<\/a>. The Lions haven\u2019t been specifically bad against tight ends but they are one of the least efficient pass defenses in the NFL. If Allen Robinson misses another game, Kmet could be utilized more as a weapon in the passing game and should be able to take advantage in this one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Tyler Conklin<\/b> <b>(MIN &#8211; 36%) @ SF,<\/b> <b>Dan Arnold (JAX &#8211; 41%) v ATL<\/b><\/p>\n<p>[pickup_prop id=&#8221;15942&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"4oyRyh92RB1m8yzqM9jluQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1355196153\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'4oyRyh92RB1m8yzqM9jluQ',sig:'HxZuj26OhexyyURJlza4_UXUS6EzMGgfbP7xcwIUxIk=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1355196153',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fantasy Football Week 12 Stream Team; Each week this column will analyze a player at each position rostered in 50% of Yahoo leagues or less.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3451,"featured_media":125170,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[6188,349,5271,5694,570],"class_list":["post-125120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fantasy","tag-cole-kmet","tag-fantasy-football-rankings","tag-laviska-shenault-jr","tag-ty-johnson","tag-tyrod-taylor"],"modified_by":"Will Noltie, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3451"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125120"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125120\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
