Kenny Golladay, WR, Detroit Lions

FanDuel Price: $7,200

DraftKings Price: $6,400

Kenny Golladay's role in the Lions' offense has seen a huge spike since the team lost Marvin Jones to injury and shipped Golden Tate out of town. The second-year wideout has averaged a staggering 11 targets over the last 4 weeks, but he has parlayed that into just a 50% catch rate during that span. Quarterback Matthew Stafford has taken a step backwards this season, and it has negatively impacted Golladay's efficiency.

As last week showed, Golladay is not yet matchup-proof, as Aqib Talib and the Rams' secondary held him to just 50 yards on 3 receptions. Now, Golladay has to square off with stout corner Patrick Peterson on the majority of his routes in Week 14. Golladay does venture to the slot on about a quarter of his snaps, and Peterson won't travel with him there, but they should see a lot of each other in this one.

With the Lions traveling to Arizona and only projected for 21.75 implied points, this isn't a spot to target. Golladay's volume would typically keep in him in play regardless of matchup, but after the dud last week, we don't need to go here with other volume-heavy options like Chris Godwin and Courtland Sutton at much cheaper price tags.
