BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 29% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Although Keelan Cole couldn't help Jacksonville get a W this past Sunday, he put on his best performance of the season and it can't be argued he was the lone really bright light of the offense against Detroit. It's been like that all year long, don't get it wrong, and even though Cole is far from a top-tier WR he is still a very playable asset in any and every deep league.
Pending MNF, Keelan Cole is the WR20 in total PPR points (81.4) through Week 6 and the WR31 in PPG (13.6). Cole has scored 10.7+ PPR points in four of his six games (the other two went for 8.3 and 8.6), and has scored three touchdown already on the season. This past weekend marked his best one of the year to the tune of 20.3 PPR points translated from 6 receptions (9 targets) for 143 yards (!), by far his highest yardage in a single game in 2020.
Cole's 292 snaps lead all Jaguars, and although it is true that DJ Chark Jr. has missed one game, Cole is also leading the team in targets so far with 37 compared to Laviska Shenaul Jr.'s 35 and Chark's 34. Most encouraging, though, is Cole's efficiency. He has 362 yards on 27 receptions for a 13.0 average. Only 12 WRs have racked up 350+ receiving yards on 27 or fewer receptions, and Cole (73%) is second in catch rate among those in that group only behind Julio Jones (76.7%).
Jacksonville is playing against the middle-of-the-pack Los Angeles Chargers (15th in preventing WRs fantasy points) next weekend before going on a bye. For the season Cole is putting together, leading all Jaguars wideouts, his rostership is ridiculous. Make sure to add him to your squad in virtually every league.
