The Fallout 10.24

Welcome to the Monday edition of the Daily Dose newsletter, our “Fantasy Fallout” day. In this article, you will get a quick rundown of the relevant things we learned from the week’s games from Thursday through Sunday. 

We won’t talk about every single player and we usually won’t spend time on studs who go nuts (no one needs to be told to start CeeDee Lamb right now!), but rather, the idea is to update you on usage trends, injuries, and other relevant things to help your decisions with your teams.

Texans at Jets

• In the first game without both Stefon Diggs and Nico Collins, Tank Dell converted his team leading nine targets to six catches for 126 yards. Collins should return in the next week or two, but with Diggs done for the season, Dell should emerge as a weekly WR2 or WR3 for your fantasy team.
• For the second time in the past three games, C.J. Stroud completed 11 (or less) passes. Collins can’t return fast enough for this Texans offense and I might keep Stroud on my bench until his return.
• Despite marginal fantasy output, Breece Hall regained his stranglehold on the backfield, out-touching Braelon Allen, 17-4. 
• The entire passing offense flowed through Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams, with each seeing double-digit targets. Aaron Rodgers has a history of being able to support multiple pass catchers and both Adams and Wilson should remain weekly starters in your fantasy lineup.
• With the newly acquired Adams now in town, both Allen Lazard (who’s now on short-term IR) and Mike Williams can safely be dropped.

Saints at Panthers
