It’s important to look deeper than surface-level production. Targets and touches can be just as important as yards and touchdowns when trying to project for the future.

As we said, the first round of byes takes out the Saints, 49ers, Falcons, and Jets. All things considered, fantasy owners aren’t getting hit too hard at most positions, especially wide receiver. Things will get tougher going forward, so it’s really injuries to guys like Saquon Barkley, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, and Russell Wilson that will cause the most issues. Game-time decisions like Dalvin Cook, Christian McCaffrey, Julio Jones, Chris Carson, and Sterling Shepard won’t help either, and neither will a 9:30 a....
