Scouting report

by Jordan Heck

CHI WR Eddie Royal - Week 17, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Detroit
Eddie Royal didn't practice this week due to an illness, but there's still a chance he plays Sunday. Even if he does, he's not a huge threat. In back-to-back weeks he's caught five passes in each contest, only going for 31 and 21 yards, respectively.

CHI WR Eddie Royal - Week 15, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Minnesota
Eddie Royal returned last week after missing five consecutive games, and it wasn't a ceremonious return. He only finished with one catch for 15 yards. Until he does more, he's not worth considering in fantasy.

CHI WR Eddie Royal - Week 8, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Minnesota

Eddie Royal returned to his second-man role two weeks ago as Alshon Jeffery returned from injury. Royal finished with a respectable five catches for 49 yards, but it's clear he doesn't have a major role in the offense.

Royal doesn't get a great matchup this week, but that shouldn't affect him too much. Royal's role is pretty simple and his numbers should remain fairly consistent throughout the season. He should be viewed as a WR4.

CHI WR Eddie Royal - Week 5, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Kansas City
Eddie Royal was finally able to step in and have good production in place of Alshon Jeffery last week. He finished with seven receptions on 10 targets for 54 yards and a touchdown. His numbers favored PPR formats, and it was his second seven-reception game this season.

If Jeffery sits again, look for another game where Royal sees a lot of targets. The Chiefs have struggled against the pass this season, so someone for Chicago will end up having success. Royal's ceiling is low, considering his 54 yards were a season high, so he should be viewed as a WR3 assuming Jeffery sits.

CHI WR Eddie Royal - Week 4, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Oakland

Through three games, Eddie Royal has only compiled 66 receiving yards on 11 receptions. It's not all his fault, though. For the last two weeks, he's had Jimmy Clausen attempting to throw passes in his general direction.

Royal has a chance to be the No. 1 receiver again if Alshon Jeffery sits, but that hasn't proven to be beneficial thus far. He's in the WR5 territory (where he's a relevant name), but likely won't do anything substantial against the Raiders.

CHI WR Eddie Royal - Week 3, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Seattle

Alshon Jeffery was a surprising inactive a week ago, but now owners can expect him to possibly be shut down in Week 3. Jeffery's hamstring issue leaves the door wide open for Eddie Royal to come in and contribute.

Unfortunately, Royal will be going up against one of the league's best pass defenses and will have a backup quarterback in Jimmy Clausen throwing him the ball. Royal had a PPR-centric performance in Week 2 finishing with seven receptions for 41 yards. He should be viewed as a WR4 or WR5 this week.

CHI WR Eddie Royal - Week 2, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Arizona

Eddie Royal didn't have a great game in Week 1. He was targeted five times (less than Alshon Jeffery, Matt Forte, and Martellus Bennett) and only caught one pass for eight yards. His targets will likely continue to be less than the other three stars in the offense, which doesn't leave much room for big games.

If he's able to haul in more of his targets, Royal can be a decent WR4 option this week.
