QB23 Cam Ward 16 16 20 33.56 194.81 0.94 0.44 2.31 9.25 0.06 10%
bench
  • Has had 3 games in a row in the mid 250s for yards, but just 4 passing scores on the season. This matchup has been QB friendly, allowing 5th most fantasy points to QBs and a lot of that is other teams playing catchup. Ward could find that same garbage time but it's hard to count on given he didn't do it when being blown out by other teams
  • Should note, this'll be Mike McCoy's first game as interrim coach and the offense may change, although he was the offensive senior advisor. Before that he was the Jags QB coach for some bad lawrence years and before that OC for the 3-13 cardinals. before that one year stint he was OC for the 5-11 broncos for a year. Before that he was was Chargers head coach to a 18-29 record

WR50 Chimere Dike 16 2.81 4.38 24.75 0.25 21%
  • Colts have been susceptible to big pass plays allowing 24 of 20+ yards, tied for 4th most just 2 behind the league leader
  • cha meer ay dee kay
  • 4.34 speed
  • The Colts allow the most receptions, 2nd most yards, and 7th most scores to WRs. Teams have been playing catchup against the Colts. It's one of the easiest WR matchups for fantasy due to that.
WR53 Elic Ayomanor 15 2.53 5.27 31 0.27 13%
bench
  • As much as I like ayomanor, Dike is the interesting DART throw
  • Ayomanior continues to be the target leader, but hasn't topped 30 yards in 3 weeks. He usually gets 5 a game and half are catchable and he find 2-3 catches.

WR109 Calvin Ridley 7 2.43 5.14 43.29 0 26%
bench
  • even if ridley goes, and he is on the wrong side of questionable, he's only had one game with double digit fantasy points, he's had 4 games with 30 or fewer yards, and with Helm and Dike emerging, the whole WR situation appears to be a ton of splitting.

  • a few weeks ago I mentioned on the show how the coaching staff was trying to get the ball to Gunner Helm more whikle giving a bench grade to okonkwo. Spot where the coaching staff was for real. He posted his best 3 snap shares of the season the last 3 weeks and 13 targets over that span which is the same as chig.,
  • This Colts defense just allowed 164 and a score to Gadsden, 106 and a score to the McBride and Higgins in Arizona, and is ranked 4th best matchup for opposing TEs allowing the 2nd most receptions and 4th most yards to the position

RB22 Tony Pollard 16 14.25 64.63 0.31 1.88 2.38 11.81 0 87%
bench
  • 7 more snaps than spears last week, did he reclaim the role, or are the Titans using these two based on matchup
  • I love that they took Pollards 16-20 touches and just split them up 12-9 two weeks ago and 12-8 last week. They flip flopped pass game work and also flip flopped snap share. Super helpful figuring out trends and roles.
  • Pollard had 6 catches in the first 4 games. He had 6 just last week and 11 in the 3 games with spears. so apparently now they are using him there.
  • In the last two games (Spears was limited in the one before those)... Pollard has gone 16-52 and Spears has gone 10-53. Spears has been been more efficient running and about the same in the pass game.
RB53 Tyjae Spears 12 5.75 22.08 0.17 3.17 3.58 21.25 0 39%
bench
  • really the main thing to go on is that RBs are touching it 20ish times, the offense doesn't score or get in scoring position much, and Spears keeps getting the shortend of that split. Also, last week in the blowout, it was Pollard getting the more pass game work playing from behind

B
  • Basically a must start in all matchups at this point averaging over 20 fantasy points per game and has multiple scores in all but one game
  • He adds value on the ground and has scored 5 rushing touchdowns. In recent weeks Kyler Murray and Drake Maye added 6-8 fantasy points on the ground against the Titans
  • Jones averages 255 passing yards and doesn't have a game under 200 yards yet this year.
  • The Titans get run on so easily, that their pass defense for fantasy purposes is better than average and they only allow 223 yards passing per game and have only allowed 9 scores in 7 games.

WR21 Michael Pittman Jr. 16 4.88 6.69 48.31 0.44 85%
B
  • Top 10 in the NFL in red zone targets and caught 4 red zone scores
  • Pittman has scored in 5 of 7, and has double digit fantasy points in 6 of 7. 5 plus targets in all but one.
  • The Titans are middle of the pack against WRs, but they have allowed the 9th most wr receptions and yards, but the 9th fewest scores. I'll bank on one of the more prolific red zone and consistent scoring WRs to get his yards and possibly his score.
  • The downside being, the colts will likely give Taylor 20-25 touches like they've done many times and as 2 touchdown favorites, the pass game may not be needed as much
WR32 Alec Pierce 14 3.07 5.5 62.21 0.29 40%
C
  • With Downs and Dulin out and Mitchell still in the dog house after dropping the ball on the goal line like Russ Holliday, Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce had 60% of Jone's targets last week
  • double digit fantasy days in 3 of his last 4 games. Had 158 unrealized air yards last week, common for him. Runs a ton of routes and gets a lot of deep targets.
  • The situation with Downs, Dulin and Mitchell may be the saem this week.
  • Titans are bottom 10 in receptions, receiving yards, and explosive plays allowed to WRs
WR51 Josh Downs 15 3.6 5.6 33.67 0.27 56%
bench
  • cleared and but had less yards than pierce in all 4 games they both played together so I'm leaving him on the bench but it potentially lightens the upside of the other pass catchers by a tad, and lastly I'm leaving Laquon Treadwell on the bench.

Unfortunately that one game was against this very Titans team baack in Week 3. Taylor scored, 3, Pittman scored, Pierce had a good day, Downs was playing and got work
