Week 12 - Dollar Store ($1 Free Agents)
by Matthew Cherrin
Jarvis Landry- WR- Dolphins
Former LSU wide receiver Jarvis Landry needs to be on fantasy owner’s radar for the rest of the season. The second round pick has been seeing a consistent amount of targets in 2014, and has been racking up the receptions for the last three weeks. So far on the season, Landry has 42 receptions, 400 yards and three touchdowns. He also has 55 targets on the year. In the last three weeks, Landry has 21 targets and 17 receptions. It’s clear that quarterback Ryan Tannenhill is trusting Landry more and more as the season goes on. Landry could be a sleeper wide receiver for the rest of 2014. Pick him up for a buck now.
Roy Helu Jr.- RB- Red Skins
While Roy Helu Jr. hasn’t seen many opportunities in the running game this season, he is still racking up the receptions in 2014. Helu is top ten in receptions out of all the running backs this year. So far on the season, Helu has 169 yards on the ground for one score, and has 32 receptions for 366 yards and one touchdown. Washington tends to find themselves down quite a bit during most games in 2014, so Helu should continue to see targets in the passing game. Look for Helu to be a valuable fantasy option for the rest of the season.
Andrew Hawkins- WR- Browns
Andrew Hawkins for the Cleveland Browns has seen 84 targets so far this season. Unfortunately, he has only caught 45 of those targets, but the high volume of opportunities that Hawkins has seen in 2014 should make some fantasy owners interested in picking him up. He ranks in the top 25 in targets so far in 2014. Hawkins has also recorded 601 yards and two scores on the season. Josh Gordon comes back this week, which might work in Hawkins favor. Gordon will draw attention from most of the defensive backs on the Falcons, and Hawkins might find himself one on one with the cornerback. Look for Hawkins to have a good week 12 against a weak Atlanta secondary.
Chris Hogan- WR- Bills
The undrafted wide out from Monmouth Chris Hogan is seeing more targets from quarterback Kyle Orton as of late. In the last two weeks, Hogan has 12 receptions out of 16 targets for 131 yards and one score. He’s not anyone who will blow up for a week, but he might be a good bye-week pick up if your team is scarce at wide receiver. Pick him up for a buck this week.
Jacob Tamme- TE- Broncos
With Julius Thomas questionable this week, Jacob Tamme might be a considerable pick up for week 12. Last week after Thomas left the game, Tamme saw 10 targets for four receptions and 31 yards. It wasn’t an impressive stat line, but the number of targets he saw last week should give you an indication of how much Peyton Manning trusts Tamme to fill in for Thomas. And since Tamme has been seeing all the reps this week in practice, he might a little more on the same page as Manning heading into the game this Sunday against the Dolphins. Pick up Tamme for a week and it will only cost you a buck.
