The Titans defense allowed 12+ standard league fantasy points to all three Broncos receivers on Sunday. I guess we don’t have to fear that secondary anymore, right?
Wrong. No one can stop the Manning Express but Sunday was only the second time all season that the Titans allowed double-digit standard league points to any receiver they have faced this season. That was DeAndre Hopkins, who put up 117 yards and a touchdown against them, all the way back in Week 2. With that said, avoid Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd this week.
Vincent Jackson, the Giants receivers, the Pats receivers, the Jets receivers, the Titans receivers, the Texans receivers, and the Rams receivers all have difficult matchups and it’s hard to start any of those guys if you have solid options available.
On the flip side, Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, DeSean Jackson, Riley Cooper, Andre Johnson, Torrey Smith, Steve Smith, Dez Bryant, Keenan Allen, Calvin Johnson, A.J. Green, Antonio Brown, Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery, and Josh Gordon are all must-starts this week.
Cordarrelle Patterson, Dwayne Bowe, Cecil Shorts, Harry Douglas, Roddy White, Jordy Nelson, Stevie Johnson, and Pierre Garcon all look strong as well.
Let’s take a look at all of this week’s fantasy football wide receiver matchups.
