Fantasy Stars & Studs, Week 8: DK Metcalf leads emerging receivers

Travis Fulgham – Philadelphia Eagles

Fulgham’s star continues to rise at a rapid pace, with the Eagles’ wideout the leader in receiving yardage in the NFL since Week 4.

In that time he has amassed 435 yards and four touchdowns, Fulgham adding to an increasingly impressive resume on Sunday Night Football by making light work of the Dallas Cowboys defense.

The former Detroit Lion was targeted seven times by Carson Wentz and hauled in six of those throws for 78 yards and a touchdown, earning 19.8 fantasy points in PPR leagues.

He has at least six catches in four of his five appearances this season and has three games with double-digit targets from Wentz.

With double-digit PPR points in all five of his games, Fulgham has emerged as an unlikely bonafide fantasy starter with a high floor and a high ceiling when the Philadelphia offense excels.

The Eagles are on bye in Week 9 but those fantasy managers astute enough to have plucked Fulgham off the waiver wire should be excited at the prospect of putting him back in their lineup for Week 10, when Philadelphia visits the New York Giants.

As long as Fulgham remains a favorite target of Wentz, he will be in fantasy starter consideration every week and certainly will not be going undrafted in 2021.
