BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 34% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: While Shenault started the year flying under the radar, a quick look at his current rostership rate tells you all you need to know about his growth in Jacksonville's offense. The rookie only featured in 31 snaps in Week 1 but hasn't played fewer than 37 since, topping at 52 this past Sunday against Houston.
His targets have remained on an upwards trend since day one: he's gone from 4 (W1-W2) to 6 (W3-W4) to a season-high 8 this past weekend. And even though the usage rate has gone up, his efficiency has stayed the same--or even improved.
Shenault is averaging 12.3 PPR points per game, and it is hard to be more efficient at it than the rook has been so far this year. He's been targeted 28 times and he's hauled in 23 of those passes (82% catch rate) for a combined 270 receiving yards and 54.0 per game. Although he's not scored a touchdown since W1, positive regression must be coming his way: 35 WRs have racked up 270+ this season, yet only 14 of them have one or no touchdowns, so it is to expect Shenault getting into the end zone sooner rather than later.
Although not his true calling-card, Laviska also has some rushing abilities, having 9 carries for 53 yards on the season and rushing the ball at least once in every game except W5's. The rookie has turned into a must-add in 12+ Team leagues and deeper formats, is a PPR-beast, and DJ Chark Jr. (Jacksonville's no. 1 WR) has missed time already and was injured yesterday again.
