Wide Receiver 1: Keenan Allen ($6,400)

Herbert having a big week means his receivers will as well. Lately it’s been Mike Williams dominating yardage and touchdowns from Herbert. This week, we’re banking on Keenan Allen to be the go-to guy for Herbert.

Allen has caught 34-of-53 targets for 369 yards and a touchdown this year, which is still heavy volume even with Williams. Expect Allen to have a big week and lead our receiving corps.

Wide Receiver 2: Robert Woods ($6,100)

The squeaky wheel got the grease last week. Robert Woods caught 12-of-14 targets for 150 yards, doubling his production from the previous four games. Expect that trend to continue, especially since the Rams face the New York Giants this week.

The Rams need both Cooper Kupp and Woods, not one or the other each week. Last week was a clear indicator that Woods needs his share of targets and he’s a good bet to produce this week against the Giants.

Wide Receiver 3: Michael Pittman Jr. ($5,500)

Michael Pittman Jr. has been the Colts’ leading receiver this year, and it hasn’t been close. He’s caught 29-of-43 targets for 368 yards and a touchdown. He has a 25.3% target share, which is 14th in the league.

Pittman Jr. is a safe bet for production again this week against Houston, which should be a competitive game. He’s a solid wideout number three for this lineup.
