Consider Adding These WR’s Heading Into the Playoffs

Treylon Burks 37% OWNED

The rookie is fresh season-high 67% snaps Sunday. This led to a team-high 6 targets. Burks has seen solid usage despite difficult spots. His last three matchups? Patrick Surtain, Jaire Alexander , and the Bengals #12 secondary. Remember, this is AJ Brown’s replacement. The Titans don’t have any other choice but to utilize him. Since returning from the IR,  the 22-year-old has seen 6+ targets in three straight games. He has a strong playoff schedule (Week 15 Chargers – #20 secondary) and (Week 16 Texans – #32 secondary.) He has flex value for the rest of season.

Zay Jones 31% OWNED

Zay Jones has quietly has a very productive season. He had a monster week 12, producing 27 points on 14 targets. But he’s earned this usage before. Just a week ago he saw 10 targets. This was the 27-year-old fourth game compiling 10+ targets. That’s one more than Christian Kirk. On tap for Week 13? The Detroit Lions, who rank 30th against WRs. Jones is a strong start. His ownage will double this week.

Mack Hollins 12% OWNED

Hollins is another player flying under the radar. Remember, fantasy is a game of opportunity. The 24-year-old has played 94% of the Raiders snaps this season (6th in NFL) & 96%+ in the last three games. With Hunter Renfrow and Darren Waller both on the IR, Hollins has cemented himself as Derek Carr’s #2 option in the pass game. Sunday’s Week 12 win over the Raiders marked three straight games with 5+ targets – and all three have came against top seven secondary’s (IND,DEN,SEA.) Hollins is a flex play vs. the Chargers this week and a bench stash for the rest of the season.

Jameson Williams 20% OWNED

The 2020 1st rounder is due back any day now.  The Lions rank Top-10 in deep attempts. Enter Jameson, who was the #1 deep threat in college last year – posting over 1500 yards at Alabama. Remember, he’s coming off an ACL tear and it’ll take some time for him to ramp up to speed. In reality, this year will be a wash, but he has massive upside if the Lions unleash him.
