6. Robby Anderson, Carolina Panthers

Fantasy managers have seemingly forgotten about Robby Anderson, but it’s hard to blame them. Anderson has caught 10-of-22 for 149 yards and a touchdown, taking a clear backseat to D.J. Moore. However, last week he showed promise, garnering 50% of his 2021 targets with 11.

Anderson is an interesting start against a Philadelphia defense that has been decent against the pass but bolsters an undermanned secondary. Start him at a FLEX spot this week.

5. Hunter Renfrow, Las Vegas Raiders

Hunter Renfrow, if it weren’t for Darren Waller, would be the number one receiving option in Las Vegas. Even with Waller, he’s caught 22-of-30 targets for 249 yards and two touchdowns. That’s seven-and-a-half targets per game; that volume is hard to find in fantasy football.

Renfrow is forcing his way into PPR lineups moving forward, and things will be no different this week when the Raiders take on a middling Bears pass defense.
