Jaylen Waddle (vs. NO) - From Weeks 8-11 (MIA on bye in Week 12), four qualified WRs averaged 3+ yards per route: JSN, Drake London, Puka Nacua, and Waddle ... the Saints are the 8th worst YPA defense.

Justin Jefferson (at SEA) - His 27 targets have netted just 146 yards per that past three weeks. BUT ... at least the plan is to go through him (69.1% of Minnesota's first-half receiving yards over the past two weeks).

Big Play WR??? 3 players have a 25+ yard catch in each of their past three games: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Alec ‘cash the over props’ Pierce, and .. .Demario Douglas. The Patriots get the Giants on Monday night, the 10th-worst team is creating pressure, thus allowing time for Douglas to move down the field.

Pay off the Big Play WR??? Two players have 1,000 air yards this season, and no more than two TD catches: Justin Jefferson and Alec Pierce.
