Week 17 at Panthers
Ginn once again played less than 50 percent of snaps in Week 16 and saw just one target all game and he did not come down with the pass. Even in what we thought would be a revenge game back in Week 12 against the Panthers, Ginn had two catches. He might break a long one against the shaky Panthers' secondary but, as he's been all season, is the classic boom-or-bust.
Week 16 at Titans
Ginn's usage declined sharply in Week 15. He played less than 30% of the offensive snaps and saw just one target. It's very difficult to put trust in a player that only has four games with more than three catches in championship week.
Week 15 vs Colts
If you like playing with a little bit of fire, Ted Ginn would be the guy in the fantasy semifinals. He actually had more than two catches for a change, grabbing four passes against the 49ers. And he hit 50 yards for the first time since Week 1. Which means he'll likely regress back to the norm against the Colts, making him a very risky play if you're trying to advance.
Week 14 vs 49ers
Ginn has been surpassed by Tre'Quan Smith as the second wide receiver. Smith out-snapped Ginn again in Week 13 and Ginn only saw one target against the Falcons, which he did not haul in. Unless you are in a very deep league, Ginn isn't winning you a championship.
Week 13 at Falcons
It’s almost astonishing to see the streak Ginn has had with two-catch games. He did it yet again against the Panthers, his seventh such game this season. Against the Falcons in Week 10? A big goose egg. He’s also been out-snapped in recent weeks by Tre’Quan Smith. Ginn is back to being a desperation play with bye weeks done for the season.
Week 12 vs Panthers
Yet again, Ginn saw just a handful of targets and caught just two passes, his sixth game with just two catches. He did find the end zone against the Buccaneers and may do so against the Panthers. There's always the revenge factor for Ginn against the Panthers. But as has been the case, a touchdown helps make a respectable fantasy day for Ginn since he's hardly getting you any catches.
Week 11 at Buccaneers
Ginn continues to play roughly 70% of the snaps for the Saints. But he continues to do next to nothing with them. And in Week 10, it was nothing. Zero catches on three targets. He did catch his only touchdown pass of the season against the Buccaneers in Week 5, but you're heavily banking on such a catch again for Ginn to post a respectable fantasy score.
Week 10 vs. Falcons
Even with Brees back to beef up the offense, Ginn kept at his two-catch pattern. Week 8 was Ginn's fourth straight game recording just two catches and sixth straight game with three or fewer catches (all under 50 yards). But New Orleans will put up points Sunday against the Falcons and six teams are on a bye this week, so this is a week where Ginn may be worth a gamble if you're in a bind at receiver. Even if he only catches two or three passes again, one of them could be in the end zone and that gives him some flex appeal on a week like this.
Week 8 vs. Cardinals
Despite New Orleans scoring 36 points against the Bears, Ginn still was quiet on offense. Last week marked his third straight game with just two catches and he has five straight games of less than 50 yards receiving. Unless you're dealing with byes this week. Ginn still is not a recommended option.
Week 7 at Bears
Ginn's six targets against the Jaguars were his most since his seven in Week 1 against the Texans. But he only brought in two of those targets for just 36 yards. Despite being on the field for about two-thirds of the Saints' offensive plays, Ginn's fantasy upside continues to be severely limited, being so low on the pecking order. Even with four teams on a bye, Ginn is not a recommended play again this week against a good Bears defense.
