Target Breakdown: Week 2 Role and Usage Analysis for WRs and TEs

Target Breakdown: Week 2 Role and Usage Analysis for WRs and TEs

This article is part of our Target Breakdown series.

This is the third and final part of my weekly recap, following Box Score Breakdown on Monday and Backfield Breakdown on Tuesday morning. Below you'll find all the stats you need to evaluate WR and TE usage/roles from the first two weeks of the season, plus you'll get some of my analysis (less valuable) and a look ahead to Week 3 waivers.

The bottom of the article is where you'll find three groupings of stat tables, broken down for WRs and TEs:

  1. Snap/Alignment/Route stats (participation)
  2. Target and Receiving stats (performance)
  3. Red-Zone and Goal-Line stats ($)

   

Week 2/3 Injury Report 🚑

New Injuries

WR Jaylen Waddle (concussion / day-to-day)

WR Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder / day-to-day)

WR DK Metcalf (ribs / day-to-day)

WR Darnell Mooney (knee / day-to-day)

WR Zay Jones (knee / day-to-day)

WR Odell Beckham (ankle / day-to-day)

WR Quez Watkins (hamstring / week-to-week)

TE Logan Thomas (concussion)

There were a lot of injuries to WRs this week, but none looks overly serious. Aiyuk, Metcalf, Jones and Beckham all played through their injuries after suffering them for at least a portion of Thursday afternoon. Metcalf was the only one to finish with a strong receiving line, but the others at least have decent odds to make it back Week 3.

Stock Report 📊

Trending Up 📈

Wide Receivers 📈

  • Puka Nacua - 11 more targets than any other player (35) 
  • Tutu Atwell - 11th in NFL w/ 221 AY / league-high 33% pre-snap motion rate
  • Tank Dell - Put up 7-72-1 on 79% RT share w/ team-high 10 targets
  • Nico Collins - 4th in NFL with 279 AY, 5th with 226 Rec Yds
  • Mike Evans - 14th in Tgt share / 2nd in AY share / 8th in AY / 4th in Rec Yds
  • Elijah Moore - 23% Tgt share / 19th with 183 AY
  • Jayden Reed - 2 TDs / ranks 6th with 38.7% TPRR (13 TGTs, 35 RTs)
  • Justin Watson - RT Share up to 60% W2 / 13th with 213 AY this season
  • Marvin Mims - Didn't play much but had two long gains, including a TD

There's a lot to dissect here, with the Rams and Texans both offering two WRs that have vastly outperformed expectations this year. Nacua is unprecedented, coming in as a fifth-round rookie and leading the league in a slew of usage categories (he's also second in receiving yards). He, Atwell and Collins all look like reasonably fantasy starters for the time being, and Dell may be on the cusp.

Just don't go overboard with the Houston guys, as Robert Woods also is above 20 percent target share and TE Dalton Schultz is unlikely to stay near the bottom of the league in TPPR (13.9%, eighth lowest among TEs) even if he's generally been overrated.

     

Tight Ends 📈

The Lions have used LaPorta as a blocker on about one-fifth of his pass snaps so far, but he's nonetheless the upside play of this group given his athletic profile, team context, draft capital, early usage... basically everything. And Musgrave profiles fairly similarly but in a Green Bay offense that generally looks less promising than what Detroit's working with.

Henry should at least be on the TE1/2 borderline and has been perhaps the position's best fantasy producer so far, but he's largely riding huge team passing volume and excellent per-target efficiency... conditions unlikely to hold throughout a whole season in New England.

Tight Ends 📉

I'll also note that Jake Ferguson may be fool's gold, with 11 targets and a TD coming on 50 percent route share. He'll obviously improve his 2.0 YPT as the year goes on, but it won't really matter for fantasy if he's seeing only three or four targets per game because Peyton Hendershot gets a lot of the snaps in clear passing situations.
