Week 11 Fantasy Football Market Share Report: Samaje Perine Reemerges

Red-Zone Market Shares

1. Davante Adams May Be the Packers' Lone Bright Spot

When you're a player dependent on touchdowns like Jordy Nelson, going from one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time to Brett Hundley is going to be a swift kick in the junk to your fantasy value.

Bon voyage, Jordy.

For Davante Adams, though, the Hundley experience has been a bit different. Even with one 12-yard performance in the mix, his market-share numbers have been legit.

Hundley took over early in the team's Week 6 game against the Minnesota Vikings. In the roughly five games with Hundley at the helm, Adams has 27.6% of the team's overall targets, 50.0% of their deep targets, and 4 of 6 red-zone targets. The true headline may be that they've had just six attempts in the red zone over this span, but that's a whole separate discussion.

It's the same thing with Adams as we saw with Corey Coleman (and will see in just a second with Demaryius Thomas): you can be a productive fantasy wide receiver in a bad offense as long as you are getting fed. Adams is the clear top option on this team right now, and it's keeping him afloat despite Aaron Rodgers' absence.

Not having Rodgers there is going to take away from Adams' ceiling because a multi-touchdown game is much less likely. But with Hundley pumping targets of all kind toward Adams, he's still in play for fantasy. They'll need to pass plenty in Week 12 against the Steelers, meaning you can entertain the thought of using Adams in DFS despite an unpleasant matchup.

2. Demaryius Thomas Can't Stop Scoring

It's hard to tell how much longer Brock Osweiler will start for the Denver Broncos, but his time at the helm has certainly been a positive for the aforementioned Thomas.

Of Osweiler's 117 attempts this year, 24.8% have targeted Thomas with 20.5% going to Emmanuel Sanders. Perhaps more importantly, 5 of Osweiler's 14 attempts in the red zone have been targeting Thomas, allowing Thomas to hit paydirt in three consecutive games.

Given Osweiler's general incompetence, though, we need to ask ourselves whether Thomas can keep up this streak going forward. And it's hard to answer that question with much confidence.

In Osweiler's first start, Sanders was coming off of an ankle injury and played just 44.6% of the team's snaps. In the two games since then, Sanders has 19 of 67 targets (28.4%) while Thomas has 17. The touchdowns just happen to have gone to Thomas in both of those.

It's great that Thomas is finally scoring again, something he hadn't done since Week 10 of last year prior to this stretch. But it doesn't mean this streak will continue. The next time you want to invest in this passing offense, it may be wise to get back onto Sanders to see if the touchdowns swing back in his direction.
