He had 10 catches for 119 yards in the Rams upset of the Seahawks.

Another thing that stands out to me is he was targeted an additional 5 times in the game.

Do you think this was a one off or will he be Stafford's go to guy until Kupp returns in Week 5?

Dude was electric at BYU.

Expect him to get all the targets until Kupp returns.

Anyone who says they expected yesterday's numbers is completely full of shite.

This year's Cool Name Of The Year Because You Can Say It!



(I drafted him a ton in Best Ball Leagues at the end of the draft. This was before the Kupp injury. At this point, I don't think he's a fluke, so go get him!)

He's the dude. Van Jefferson is not and never has been.

I have number 1 waiver and deep with WR already but we play 2 flex so I can find a spot for this stud. PPR as well

He’s not going to do this every game. I get it people are high on him becuase he had a good
Game and they like his name.

Nobody expects him to average 25+ PPR points per game. But he had 15 targets and looks like he might be the #1 option for an offense manned by a good quarterback and playcaller

Kupp’s injury status is a huge question mark and that offense has supported two top 24 WRs in prior years anyway

Agreed. If he had like 4 catches for 100 yards and a TD on 5 targets that is likely an aberration.

But the 15 targets is indicative that mcvay sees him as the direct replacement for kupp while he's out.

Yeah, he was running the same type of routes as Kupp

If he maintains his success, the Rams will be much more conservative in Kupp's recovery before bringing him back.

What are we thinking his dynasty value is? In one league I turned down a 2nd and a 3rd. In another I traded a 2nd and a 4th for him. I feel like if he get 8 catches against the 49ers he will be worth a 1st.

I put all my 100 dollar faab bid on him.

Only did that once in the past and it was when Mahomes broke out.
