1.Zach Pascal Indianapolis Colts @ New Orleans Saints
Since Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton went down with a injured calf Zach Pascal has been the biggest beneficiary. Pascal has had at least 5 receptions for 74 yards the past 2 games and a touchdown in one of those games as well. The Saints have given up an average of 39.99 points per game to opposing WRs this season. They are the 30th ranked defense at defending the WR position.
2.Kenny Golladay Detroit Lions vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers
This week the Lions announced that receiver Marvin Jones Jr. is going to miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury which is good for Kenny Golladay. With Jones Jr. out Golladay is most likely going to get an uptick in targets in the passing game. The Buccaneers have given up an average of 46.29 points per game to opposing WRs this season. They are the 32nd ranked defense at defending the WR position.
Bench 'EM
1.Tyler Boyd Cincinnati Bengals vs New England Patriots
This week is not going to be a good week to play any of your Cincinnati Bengals as they face the New England Patriots. This week Tyler Boyd will be covered by Patriots All Pro cornerback Stephon Gilmore who is one of the best shutdown cornerbacks in the NFL. The Patriots have given up an average of 24.44 points per game to opposing WRs this season. They are the 1st ranked defense at defending the WR position.
2.Amari Cooper Dallas Cowboys vs Los Angles Rams
The past few weeks Amari Cooper has not been playing up to his top 10 WR potential but the reason may be he appears to be playing through a leg injury. This week it will not get any easier as he will most likely be shadowed by Pro Bowl cornerback Jalen Ramsey. The Rams have given up an average of 33.83 points per game to opposing WRs this season. They are the 15th ranked defense at defending the WR position.
