WR Greg Ward

In the Eagles’ first game without Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor, Greg Ward benefited the most. Only tight end Zac Ertz had more looks, which is always the case in the Eagles offense. Against the Redskins last week, Ward had seven catches on nine targets for 61 yards. A tougher matchup in the Cowboys is en route, but Ertz only had one more target than Ward so that bodes well for him.

WR Chris Conley

Without DJ Chark, Gardner Minshew has to lean on someone and it was Chris Conley last week over the Raiders. Conley had a pair of scores and led the Jags with eight targets. He only mustered four catches off of those, but an uptick there is possible. The Jags have the Falcons up next though, and they surprised the 49ers last week.

TE Jacob Hollister

Simple as this: The Seahawks have the Cardinals up next and because of that, Jacob Hollister is a good move. Opposing tight ends have beaten up the Cardinals this season, as Arizona is allowing the most fantasy points against the position this season in the NFL. In Week 4, the Seahawks’ Will Disslky had seven catches for 57 yards and a touchdown against the Cards.
