Fantasy

Five Wide Receivers Trending Upward

Syndication: Journal Sentinel

Rondale Moore: 68% Owned

Moore continues to see an increased role in the Cardinals’ offense, even with Kyler Murray sidelined. Over the last three weeks the 22-year-old is fantasy’s WR9, averaging 10.3 targets and 89.2 yards per game. He’s virtually playing every snap and locked in as the #2 pass catcher on an offense constantly playing from behind. He’s a every week starter and a quality sell high with Marquise Brown presumably returning at some point.

Kadarius Toney: 47% Owned

After playing a limited role in his Week 9 debut with the Chiefs, Toney’s responsibilities were overhauled versus the Jags. The former Giants finished with 90 total yards and a TD. This was partially due to JuJu Smith-Schuster leaving the game in the first half with a concussion, but Toney also appeared to be in the Chiefs’ plans more regardless. With Smith-Schuster and Hardman’s health both in question, KT’s stock is skyrocketing.

Parris Campbell: 23% Owned

The Jeff Saturday effect. With Matt Ryan surprisingly back under center, Campbell picked up where he left off with Ryan, posting a new season high for yardage. It was Campbell’s third straight Matt Ryan start where he found the end zone. The 25-year-old has 41 targets over that span. He’s a weekly flex play.

Donvanon People-Jones: 15% Owned

How many times do I have to mention his name? After logging a season high 99 yards in a Week 10 loss to the Dolphins, DPJ has now surpassed 50 receiving yards in seven straight games. He has out-gained Amari Cooper two of the past four weeks, clearing 70 yards all four times out. Except those numbers to only go up when Deshaun Watson returns. He’s a walking flex play.

Christian Watson: 6% Owned

It would be naive to not give the rookie an honorable mention. Just like we all predicted the 2022 second-round pick had his coming out party against the Cowboys. Entering Week 10, Watson has failed to surpass 35 receiving yards and three catches in a game. He shattered all his season high collecting three TD’s and 107 yards on a team high eight targets. Watson, who has missed time with a concussion and hamstring injuries this season, is clearly the Packers’ best, most explosive receiver. He’ll be the top waiver pick up.
