2. Brian Hartline-Miami Dolphins

Hartline’s targets have picked up the past four weeks as he’s averaged over ten targets a game. He leveraged that into a big game Sunday against the Jets as he pulled in nine of the 15 passes thrown his way and went for 127 yards and a touchdown. He’s had an up-and-down season but is definitely peaking at the right time to be a meaningful fantasy contributor in the playoffs.

He also has a very favorable remaining schedule. He starts this week at Pittsburgh who has allowed four TDs and 706 yards to opposing WR in their last three games. In week 16, he and the Dolphins host the Patriots  who have allowed seven TDs and 713 in their last four games, and then finishes with Buffalo who have allowed the second most fantasy points to opposing WR on the season. If your league goes to week 17, he’s got another great matchup against the Jets who he just demolished.

Hartline isn’t a lock because his yardage totals fluctuate, but he definitely will get passes thrown his way and his favorable matchups could make him an impact flex play.
