Wide Receiver

Chalk

Even though the Falcons' coaching staff seems adamant to avoid throwing to Julio Jones in the red zone, he should be one of the more popular options this week as Atlanta faces a Patriots defense that has given up a league-leading 1,191 yards to opposing wideouts. Antonio Brown's consistency make him an option every week for those wanting to pay up at the position, even with a tough matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on tap.

Other than those two, this seems like a week where ownership at wide receiver will be spread pretty thin across a large number of players, allowing for plenty of pivot options in tournaments.

Pivots

Allen Hurns/Marqise Lee, $5,800/$5,600, (at Indianapolis Colts)

There are some concerns with the Jacksonville Jaguars' passing game that make Allen Hurns and Marqise Lee risky options -- the coaching staff has wisely run the ball often to limit Blake Bortles' inevitable mistakes. It's not rocket science to know that fewer throws mean fewer opportunities for receivers, limiting fantasy upside. Bortles has maxed out at 244 yards in a game this year, a number he exceeded 10 times last season.

That aside, they have a tremendous matchup on tap. The Indianapolis Colts have given up the second-most yards to receivers this season and have, amazingly, allowed seven different wideouts (and two tight ends) to top 60 yards in the past three weeks.

The Jags are only favored by three, and Leonard Fournette could be limited, which means that Jacksonville may be passing at a higher clip than usual. Lee is the top option here if he plays, but that is looking less likely as the week has progressed. However, that means Hurns should deserve heavy consideration at his sub-$6,000 salary.
