8. Marquez Callaway, New Orleans Saints

After a dynamite preseason, Marquez Callaway is off to a decent start to 2021. He leads all Saints’ receivers in catches (16), targets (28), and yards (254). While these aren’t inspiring stats, it’s good to know that Callaway is the top dog in New Orleans (for a couple more weeks, anyway).

Callaway and the Saints get a tough matchup in Tampa Bay in Week 8, but as we’ve seen this season, Tampa’s secondary is very burnable. Callaway should exploit it en route to a flex day.

7. Van Jefferson, Los Angeles Rams

Van Jefferson has been battling tight-end Tyler Higbee for third option in the Rams’ passing game, but it’s been Jefferson who has out-gained him 304-248. Though Jefferson is highly volatile, he always offers glimmers of upside in this Rams offense.

Jefferson gets Houston this week which has one of the worst defenses in the league. If Jefferson can capitalize on the limited looks he’ll get in this one, he can exploit Houston’s defense for a decent fantasy game.
