How Does QB Change Impact KJ Duff In Week 2?
Rutgers wide receiver KJ Duff overwhelmed UMass' secondary in Week 1. He finished the week as WR2, hauling in nine of 16 targets for 196 yards and three touchdowns in a 37-21 loss. Duff is a bit of an anomaly, standing at 6'6" and playing wide receiver, which makes him a red-zone nightmare for defenses. Heading into Week 2, Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano made a change at quarterback and will be giving AJ Surace his first career start over Dylan Lonergan. Surace played one drive against UMass and targeted Duff on three of nine total throws for a 33% target share, whereas Lonergan targeted him on 13 of his 29 throws for a 44% target share. Rutgers face Boston College in Week 2, which had a bottom-14 pass defense last season, giving up 255.7 passing yards per game. Duff is ranked as RotoBaller's WR4 in Week 2, and fantasy owners should feel confident rolling him out.
