The two teams on bye this week -- the Colts and Saints -- have the NFL's most and second-fewest offensive touchdowns, respectively. If you're flush with Saints and your opponent has several Colts, congratulations on timing it perfectly. (Also, why are you flush with Saints?)
As always, here's a rundown of every other non-Thursday team, highlighting their biggest fantasy pressure point. How these things play out tomorrow/Monday will impact fantasy values.
Dolphins -- Jaylen Waddle has given managers must-start production in five of his last six contests. But he's averaging 7.2 targets during that stretch, which isn't that lofty for a team's #1 WR. (26 WRs are averaging more than 7.2 on the season).
Commanders -- The backfield has been, still is, and probably will remain confusing. The bigger question now is whether it'll matter for a free-falling team.
Jaguars -- Brian Thomas vs. Jakobi Meyers vs. Parker Washington. Not exactly what was expected a couple months ago.
Chargers -- After a slow start, Ladd McConkey has proven me wrong nearly every week, while Keenan Allen has gone from resurgent star to irrelevant. Is this now the norm?
Steelers -- DK Metcalf has scored in five of eight games since Week 2. He's scored eight points or fewer in his other three. Two of those three were losses. It'll be interesting to see if Aaron Rodgers focuses more on his low-targeted #1.
Bengals -- Tee Higgins has scored in three straight for only the second time in his career. The first time was last year, when he finished as the WR6 in points per game.
Giants -- When Jameis Winston takes the field, anything can happen, and most of them do happen.
Packers -- As discussed on Tuesday, this is an offense led by a TD-friendly RB and not much else with Tucker Kraft and Jayden Reed on the shelf and other receivers battling injuries.
Vikings -- Justin Jefferson's production playing with Carson Wentz vs. JJ McCarthy is night-and-day.
Bears -- Caleb Williams is less than a point-per-game shy of being the QB4.
Titans -- Tony Pollard vs. Tyjae Spears, and will it matter?
Texans -- Once again, Nick Chubb vs. Woody Marks.
Bills -- Keon Coleman scored last week on eight looks -- his highest target total since Week 1. He also hasn't caught more than four passes since Week 1. A lot of unrealized potential.
Buccaneers -- Cade Otton is the only top-28 fantasy TE who hasn't scored.
Falcons -- I circled this game (or pretended to) after they lost 30-0 to Carolina in Week 3. Atlanta should get their revenge. The bigger question is whether/when they'll turn Bijan Robinson loose. He hasn't exceeded 20 touches in these past four games, averaging a relatively modest (for him) 17.8. They lost all four.
Panthers -- Bryce Young last topped 200 passing yards in Week 2. It's hard to effectively feed receivers with such low outputs.
Cardinals -- Emari Demercado seems to have an opening. Will he seize it?
49ers -- How might Ricky Pearsall's anticipated return impact Jauan Jennings and even George Kittle?
Rams -- 37-year-old Matthew Stafford's 20.9 fantasy points per game is his highest average since 2011. Peyton Manning had his best fantasy season at age 37. So did Ryan Fitzpatrick. The shortest day of the year is in 37 days. What does it all mean? We're about to find out. Or else I need to stop consulting with shamans.
Seahawks -- Is any receiver besides Jaxon Smith-Njigba worth streaming in what has become a crowded corps?
Broncos -- A few days after discussing the strong possibility of a JK Dobbins injury on this blog and on the podcast, he's officially out tomorrow and maybe much longer. RJ Harvey has a clear path to weekly top-16 production. But will head coach Sean Payton turn him loose?
Chiefs -- In the three games since Rashee Rice's midseason return, Xavier Worthy has 10 catches for 111 scoreless yards, and with so many capable WR/TE teammates beyond Rice, it's unclear when he'll return to fantasy relevance.
Browns -- Last week against the Jets, Jerry Jeudy set season-highs in catches and receiving yards while scoring his lone touchdown. Is he back on track, or was that a situational fluke?
Ravens -- A big test for the increasingly TD-dependent Derrick Henry, who's dealing with career-lows in yards-after-first-contact and broken-tackle rate.
Eagles -- What do managers do with AJ Brown? While the risks are real, I think he has to be in starting lineups . . . just in case.
Lions -- David Montgomery is quietly on pace for 1,000+ total yards and nine touchdowns despite a slight downtick in usage compared to last year.
Raiders -- Since his Week 3 breakout, Tre Tucker has averaged only 3.5 catches for 41 scoreless yards. Even with Jakobi Meyers gone, he hasn't shown he's a safe streamer.
Cowboys -- A newly dominant backfield, an upgrade at WR2, and a touchdown-friendly TE have squeezed CeeDee Lamb's ceiling just a bit compared to last year.
