Jacobs should continue to be trotted out as a low-end RB1 with a stable floor. With Brandon Aiyuk moving into a bigger role and now past the first game jitters, my expectations are that he takes over the top receiver play for the 49ers, making Bourne just a WR6. With that being said, there should be some production to be had in this matchup. You can't sit a tight end who's averaging 12 targets per game, but you can limit expectations considering he might be staring at Gilmore in coverage. There is obvious chemistry that is only improving because most of these guys have been with the team for a good amount of time. Considering Golladay was out the first two weeks, you can say that it's been a disappointing start to the season for Jones, who has just 78 yards through two games. 211 carries. The biggest losses to their run defense this offseason were defensive tackle Linval Joseph and edge rusher Everson Griffin, which hurt, but they just lost linebacker Anthony Barr last week to a torn pectoral injury. If Akers is ruled out, Henderson is my favorite play as a high-end RB3, though Brown is right there in a tier below (low-end RB3). He hasn't found the end zone yet, and while those will come, it may not be in Week 3. Despite being matched up with Stephon Gilmore last week, he managed to walk away with four catches for 92 yards and a touchdown. Taylor was constantly taking long runs to the house in college. Unless we see a game where the Browns are expected to throw the ball 35-plus times, it's going to be tough to trust Hooper as anything more than a touchdown dependent TE2. Ekeler needs to be played as a sturdy high-end RB2 while Kelley should be considered a high-end RB3, at minimum with the role he's walked into. Jones can be viewed as a low-end RB1 this week against a Saints defense that's currently allowing only 18.2 fantasy points on average to opposing RBs. Still, his ridiculous 330 air yards through two weeks leads the NFL by a full 34 percent. To further that point, PFF has graded him as the third worst cornerback in coverage through two weeks. That number was at 45.7 percent in 2019, which was below league average as well, though it certainly helped that they allowed a million points to tight ends. Callahan is 5-foot-9 and 188 pounds. That's what happens when you flip your cornerback depth chart upside down. 4 finish. What was encouraging for Jackson is that Beckham seemed to routinely get open down the field against them, and if not for some holding, we would've seen a bigger game out of him. He's a boom-or-bust WR5-type option. He ran a blazing 4.39 at the combine. His targets aren't worth as much as those guys, but he's a reliable player in fantasy because of his target floor. Jones threw an interception because of Engram coming out of his break slowly, slipping on the field, and giving little effort to make up for his mistake. Those are decent shares, but there is a warning sign above him. After a three-catch, 28-yard performance, you can't be feeling great. Through two games, that duo has allowed 18-of-25 passing for 251 yards and two touchdowns in their coverage. I don't know what was so hard about this for the Vikings to understand, as he continually struggled to get targeted in that offense. But save that for a week when the Steelers are involved in a potential shootout. Stay tuned to the bottom of these notes as the week goes on for updates. The Eagles seem dead set on running 2TE sets, which eliminates his slot heavy role. Not the worst results, but definitely could be better. By Peter Pax June 18, 2020 0 Comment Jonathan Taylors Fantasy Outlook for this Season and the Future. If you go back to Week 1, it was a different story with Jared Cook, who snagged 5-of-7 targets for 80 yards. He's scored just 16.2 half PPR points through two games, which is not what fantasy enthusiasts had in mind when they drafted him in the first round. He was targeted 10 times by the rookie, connecting on seven of them for 96 yards, while the rest of the receivers combined for just six targets. There was no team in the NFL who allowed more fantasy points on the ground than the Texans last year, and it wasn't all that close, as the Chiefs were a full 16 PPR points behind them at No. Jonathan Taylor fantasy outlook Taylor's college records speak for themselves, but let's look at the numbers for a second. Over the course of a season, that would amount to 127 targets. For now, it appears that Jones hasn't lost all hope, but he's on thin ice every week, which can't be good for his mental state entering a game. He has 4.32-second speed, but he's just 5-foot-10 and 180 pounds. He should see 6-8 targets in this game and he always has the potential to find the end zone. Through two games, it's fair to say Mike McCarthy won't be making this a timeshare any time soon. The Cowboys have been a mixed bag, as they held Tyler Higbee to just 3/40/0 in their first matchup, but then allowed Hayden Hurst to tag them for 5/72/1 in Week 2.
