BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 15% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams were placed on the COVID-19 list this week, aka the two starting wide receivers for the Chargers. While Williams is expected to play, Allen has officially been ruled out:
This will leave an opening for another wide receiver like Jalen Guyton to step up for the Chargers. Guyton has been in this spot before. Whenever Allen or Mike Williams has missed games due to injury, Guyton’s role expands and he goes from rarely-used deep threat who sees two-to-four targets per game to a No. 2 WR who shines when given the opportunity.
Guyton is not a receiver known for seven-yard catches in the flat. He has averaged 17.4 yards per catch during his brief career. In 2020 he had two 70-yard TD receptions and can fly down the field like an Olympic sprinter. The New York Giants defense plays a lot worse on the road than it does at home.
Guyton should get plenty of chances against a Giants secondary that saves its best games for MetLife Stadium. Pick up Guyton on the cheap and plug him in for a one-week guest spot in your fantasy football lineup. He may reward you with 80 yards and a long TD.
