Jarvis Landry, WR, Cleveland Browns

Speaking of guys who were getting a ton of volume and hurting their teams with their lack of production, Jarvis Landry is paying the price for his inefficiency earlier this year. Through Week 8 of the NFL season, Landry had the 2nd-most targets in the league but ranked just 20th in receiving yards. The stark contrast between his volume and production definitely came back to bite him after the Cleveland Browns axed coaches Hue Jackson and Todd Haley.

Since Freddie Kitchens took over, Landry has seen his opportunities dwindle. This has coincided with Baker Mayfield's best string of games to date and the Browns' first back-to-back wins since 2014. In those three games, Landry has averaged just 5.7 targets, 3.7 receptions and 34 yards per game -- a huge difference from the massive target share he was receiving earlier in the year.

Instead of focusing on Landry, Mayfield is instead spreading the ball around between his receivers more. No Browns receiver has more than five targets in either of the team's last two games, and even in their matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs -- in which Mayfield threw the ball 42 times -- the target distribution was spread out between eight different players.

So what do get when you combine an inefficient wide receiver with a mediocre target share? A player you don't want on your fantasy rosters. The extreme volume made Jarvis Landry a decent play at the start of the year, but he's been dragging your fantasy teams down since Mayfield took over. The recent changes to the Browns' coaching staff and play-calling have now provided the perfect chance to move on from him before it's too late.
