NFL Wide Receivers To See 2022 Target Share Decreases - Diontae Johnson, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Hunter Renfrow, and more
One of my mantras when thinking about fantasy football is "targets are king." When I'm putting together my in-season wide receiver waiver wire suggestions, the first thing I do is look at targets.
