DO NOT forget about Cecil Shorts on the Week 12 waiver wire. You’ll be able to acquire Shorts’ services on the cheap because he’s coming off a bye week, but he’s a MUST HAVE now that Allen Robinson is out for the season. Shorts has at least seven targets in all six of his healthy games this year, and that number’s only going to balloon with Robinson reduced to spectator duties; double-digit opportunities every week is the most likely outcome for the situation. So fuse that projected elite usage with an incredible schedule in the Fantasy playoffs (HOU/BAL/TEN) and you have the makings of low end WR2 in PPR formats and solid WR3 in standard leagues over the final five weeks. Allen Hurns merits consideration as he’ll see a boost in looks, Marqise Lee too. Although, no other Jags’ WR will be as consistently productive as Shorts… Because I’m in a giving mood, here are some more available players to target with soft playoff schedules… If, for whatever reason, Jordan Matthews is still lingering on your Week 12 waiver wire, you’ll wanna get him. Mark Sanchez loves him: Matthews has four TDs in 11 quarters with Sanchez under center… Kenny Britt will be useful as a bench option with upside to play in a pinch. That’s it however. Banking on reliable numbers from Britt every week would just be foolish… Turns out Rueben Randle can catch after all – HUZZAH!!!! He finally put his overload of targets to good use, hauling in seven balls for 112 yards. Sure, he’s no Odell Beckham Jr., but cutting him was a bit reactionary. Randle’s 16th in targets among WRs with 79… It’s difficult to project how the RETURN OF JOSH GORDON!!!!!!!!! will affect both Andrew Hawkins and Taylor Gabriel, so temper your FAAB bids accordingly. I very much doubt either hovers around double-digit targets each week with Flash lined up on the outside… Some scrub named Charles Johnson piled up 87 yards on six grabs for the Vikings. NEWS FLASH: If you’re starting any Vikings’ WR your team is garbage… Much like Shorts, Doug Baldwin needs to rostered for the Fantasy playoffs. He’s averaging eight targets a game since Percy Harvin was run out of Seattle and sees the thin secondaries of Philly, San Francisco and Arizona in weeks 14-16; all three rank inside the Top 12 in Fantasy points allowed to WRs for the season. Show Jermaine Kearse some love in deep leagues too… Emmanuel Sanders is already in the NFL concussion protocol with a timetable for return of UNKNOWN. Every head injury is unique, making projecting a comeback date nary impossible; Sanders could miss no time (i.e. Eddie Lacy), he could sit out multiple weeks (i.e. Jordan Cameron). Hopefully, Sanders experiences a quick recovery, but in the meantime, Andre Caldwell appears to be the primary beneficiary. Caldwell manned the outside in place of Sanders against the Rams, piling up three catches for an uneventful 31 yards on four targets… Jarvis Landry is averaging five receptions a game since Week 5… The ball ended up in the direction of Damaris Johnson on eight of Ryan Mallett’s 30 drop backs. He’s a name to throw on to your watch list… Very quietly, Hollywood Chris Hogan has built a rapport with Kyle Orton. Hogan’s snatched five or more balls four the past five games, averaging 66.5 yards in those contests and gets that sieve Jets secondary in Week 12.
