Fantasy Football: Don't expect run-heavy NFL teams to help your pass catchers
United States Latest News, United States Headlines

I understand if you had big fantasy hopes for Eljiah Moore, or Darnell Mooney, or Drake London. I nod my head if you went after Garrett Wilson in FAAB, or drafted Kyle Pitts proactively. I had some Cole Kmet shares, too.

Travis KelceBrian Daboll is the Coach of the Year frontrunner, somehow coaxing a 5-1 start from an ordinary Giants roster. You can understand his reluctance to pass the ball; the Giants receiver room might be the worst in the league.

And again, a run-heavy script has not held his team back.The Jets offense — and season — has totally flipped sincereturned as starter. Over the first three weeks, the Jets threw the ball 155 times, an NFL record for the most chucks through three games . But when. Tied to a friendly schedule and a surging defense, the Jets are now a ground-and-pound unit. Wilson has thrown just 75 passes in three weeks, about half of them in the comeback at Pittsburgh. He's thrown just 21 and 18 passes in the two most recent wins.Jonathan Taylor 's Colts were a ground show last year. Taylor's missed time this year, and it's part of why the Colts are, so far, a pass-heavy group. There aren’t satisfying answers for fantasy managers worried about Jets, Falcons, or Bears receivers. We can take the low-hanging fruit and call them fades in seasonal leagues but buys in dynasty leagues, but that’s not satisfying or particularly actionable to those who need immediate help. Perhaps Mooney is the receiver we can trust the most from this group. He’s posted a reasonable 214 yards in the last three weeks, he’s clearly the No. 1 target for the Bears and Chicago’s run-heavy trend is so steep, it will likely start to regress somewhat. I don’t expect Mooney to save my season or anything, but I’m glad I’m still rostering him, and even with challenges ahead , I’m open-minded to starting him. With the Jets receivers, I think you have to accept the loss. The Jets aren't likely to give Wilson the keys to the offense — to be fair, he's done little to suggest he deserves more proactive passing — and the New York passing game has a few too many mouths to feed since veteranLondon could be another target for me. Atlanta’s passing tree is especially narrow, and he was a credible fantasy option through the first three weeks . It’s also common for rookie receivers to see a confidence and performance spike in the middle of their first season.— often times the simplest answer is the correct one.
