Boston was far more efficient than in Week 8, when he caught 6 of 11 targets for just 37 yards (WR38). He came in as the WR37 in PPR points per game, averaging 6.6 targets (WR32) with a 21.5% target share. His 15.1-yard aDOT ranks 17th among WRs, so he’s built for the downfield shots Sanders took in this game. He’s also underperformed his expected fantasy points by 0.9 per game this season.
Week 10 brings Houston, which allows the 6th-most fantasy points to WRs (36.5 per game) and ranks 17th in Pass Defense Power. After the Week 11 bye, the Browns host the Raiders. They allow the 12th-most points to WRs (33.6), rank 27th in Pass Defense Power and have PFF’s worst coverage grade. Deshaun Watson should return next week. Boston is a WR3 in both matchups.
