He steps into one of the highest-scoring, fastest-paced offenses in the league with a ton of weapons to work with. This situation should yield some fantasy goodness for Dalton.

He should continue to see a solid role in the passing game and the Giants are not a good defense whatsoever.

Hardman\u2019s snap count and target share had already been trending in the right direction even before Watkins got hurt. Last year when Watkins missed due to injury, Hardman saw a spike in snaps and targets as well and I think we can expect more of the same this time around. This matchup might look tough at first glance, but diving in more it looks great. The Bills are a team that can possibly keep up with Kansas City which should help the Chiefs keep their foot on the gas.

Chasing anyone with a pulse that\u2019s getting targets is what we have to do at this point. Jimmy G is currently tied for the ninth most targets among all tight ends with 28 so far. He\u2019s seen at least five targets in every game but one so far. He\u2019s also been able to produce double-digit PPR points in three out of five games as well. This week against the Panthers is a solid matchup. Carolina hasn\u2019t leaked points to the tight end so far but they aren\u2019t a good defense.
