Wide Receivers

Tyler Lockett SEA (vs. BAL, $6,600): Lockett is tied for eighth in the league in receptions to date, and ranks among the league leaders in catch rate. Expect him to continue making the most of his opportunities this week as he inherits several of Will Dissly‘s vacated targets.

Michael Gallup (DAL vs. PHI, $6,500): Among wide receivers, only Michael Thomas and Chris Godwin rank ahead of Gallup in yards per game this season. Gallup draws a Philadelphia Eagles secondary that’s been beaten like a punch-drunk boxer all season.

D.J. Chark (JAX at CIN, $6,000): Chark has been a revelation this season, but some will back off him  after a subpar Week 6 outing. Don’t be one of them. He gets the Bengals this week.

T.Y. Hilton (IND vs. HOU, $5,900): Hilton is healthy, and should have a day against an overmatched Houston Texans secondary. Start him with confidence at this ridiculously low price.

Robert Woods (LAR at ATL, $5,900) and Brandin Cooks LAR (at ATL, $5,400): Both are great plays against an atrocious Atlanta Falcons secondary, but Cooks is the more attractive option given his price. Both should be fed a steady diet of targets.

Honorable Mentions at the wide receiver position for those on a tighter budget include the 6-5 Auden Tate (CIN vs. JAX, $4,500), who garnered 11 targets last week, and Dante Pettis (SF at WAS, $4,100), who is well-positioned for a breakout game against a soft Washington Redskins secondary.

Jamison Crowder (NYJ vs. NE, $4,000) should see plenty of looks out of the slot. New England Patriots slot corner Jonathan Jones is the weak link in the secondary, and Darnold isn’t afraid to look Crowder’s way, targeting him a whopping 16 times in their first of two games together.

Eyes are once again on Corey Davis (TEN vs. LAC, $4,000), who might finally start seeing consistent looks with a new quarterback under center against a below-average Chargers secondary. Meanwhile, Allen Lazard (GB vs. OAK, $3,000) makes for a great bargain bin discovery with Davante Adams sidelined and both Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Geronimo Allison less than 100 percent.
