Wide Receivers

CeeDee Lamb: Lamb was the highest-scoring fantasy player this week with 36.1 points in a nail-biter against the Patriots. He caught nine of his 11 targets for 149 yards and two touchdowns. This marks Lamb’s second 100 yard game of the season. Next week Lamb has a BYE and gets to rest before he faces the Vikings in week eight where he will be a strong WR2.

Cooper Kupp: Kupp had a great game in a blowout win against the Giants scoring 34.0 points. He caught nine of his 12 targets for 130 yards and two touchdowns. Kupp has had 10 or more targets in every game he has played this year and this week is his third 100-yard game. Next week’s is a must-start against the Lions who have a shaky defense at best. 

Adam Thielen: After two very disappointing fantasy weeks Thielen had a great game in an overtime win against the Panthers scoring 29.8 points. He caught 11 of his 13 targets for 126 yards making this his first 100 yard game of the season. He also caught a touchdown and carried the ball for two yards. Next week Thielen gets a BYE week to rest and then faces off against Dallas’s weak secondary where he should be a must-start. 

Jaylen Waddle: Waddle had an amazing game this week in a close loss to the Jaguars scoring 29.0 points. He caught 10 of his 13 targets for 70 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Waddle has had two very slow weeks and was able to put up big numbers this week against a weak secondary. As he goes into week seven against the Falcons he will have another good matchup and is a strong FLEX option.

Donovan Peoples-Jones: Peoples-Jones had a very good game in a loss against the Cardinals scoring 26.1 points. He was extremely efficient catching four of his five targets for 101 yards and two touchdowns. Most of Peoples-Jones’ points came from a 57-yard hail mary at the end of the first half. Next week he faces Denver and should not be started. He had an abnormal performance and will most likely not put up the same numbers next week.

Antonio Brown: Brown had another great week scoring 24.3 points against the Eagles on Tuesday night. He caught nine of his 13 targets for 93 yards and a touchdown. Brown has had a drastic increase in targets in the past three weeks with 32 targets in three games. Next week he faces the Bears where he will be a strong WR2.
