It's 2 PM on a Thursday so let's lock in the easy calls before Washington/NYG kicks off at 8:15. Sunday lineups still have time but get your head right now.
STARTS
CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys - 16 targets, 10 catches, 195 yards, 1 TD last week. He's 2nd in the NFL in receiving yards (904) and tied-2nd in TDs (7). The Cowboys/49ers total opened 52.5 and is sitting at 55.5 right now. Fire him up, no conversation needed.
Christian Watson, Packers - 8 targets, 7 catches, 171 yards, 1 TD against New England. He leads the NFL in yards per reception at 17.9 and is 3rd in receiving yards (879) with 7 TDs on the year. Minnesota game total is 41.5 but Watson makes his own points.
Brock Bowers, Raiders - 8 targets, 7 catches, 111 yards, 1 TD last week. 6 TDs on the season, 9th in receiving yards among all players. He's your TE1, start him every week.
Darren Waller, Panthers - 10 targets, 8 catches, 90 yards, 1 TD last week. The Carolina/New Orleans total moved from 43.5 to 48.5 on DraftKings. That's a shootout environment for a TE getting double-digit targets.
SITS
Puka Nacua, Rams - Listed out with a knee/MCL this week. He's done. Check your waiver wire.
Kayshon Boutte, Texans - The box score last week (5 targets, 2 TDs) looks great but he's tied-108th in receptions and 57th in receiving yards on the season. The Texans/Browns total is only 40.5. He's a flex at best and I wouldn't trust it.
KC Concepcion, Browns - Only 1 TD all year coming in, 1 target-efficient game doesn't change his profile. Facing the Texans in a 40.5-total game. Sit him.
Who are you starting at TE this week if Bowers is on your bench?
