Welcome back to the weekly Targets Per Route Run Report, and thanks for making it part of your weekly prep. Let’s look back at the games just played and see where that points us for Week 8 and beyond.

Quick refresher: TPRR = targets ÷ routes run. It’s an on-field efficiency signal that often leads production by a week or two. Throughout this series, if you see a percentage after a player’s name, that is his TPRR unless otherwise indicated.

As a general guideline, ~20% is considered a baseline; 25–30% is excellent, and anything above 30% is elite territory.

Week 7 Notes

  • Rashee Rice (47.4%) is back. Despite a 41% snap share and only 19 routes, Rice dominated when he was on the field. That’s great news for Rice managers who were able to sacrifice a bench spot during these first six weeks, but it comes at the cost of the other KC skill positions. Now, Patrick Mahomes can spread the ball around as well as anyone, so I don’t expect the likes of Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelce to disappear. However, everyone else’s floor just went to zero. Here is how Rice compared to his teammates in Week 7:

  • DeVonta Smith (42%) went bonkers in Week 7 and is finally paying off for those brave enough to start him. A.J. Brown (23%) also makes the top 25 this week. The Giants are more vulnerable to the run game this season and are tied for the third-most rushing TDs allowed, so it may be Saquon Barkley‘s turn to feast. On the other hand, the Eagles’ offense is difficult to predict from week to week, so the opportunity is there again for both Brown and Smith.. As grandpappy said, might as well get while the gettin’s good.
  • The Jaxson Dart experience is off to a great start in New York, and Wan’Dale Robinson (29%) has become a reliable fantasy option. As long as Dart doesn’t turn into a pumpkin, Wan’Dale is in my starting lineups for the foreseeable future.

The Season So Far

  • We may be only weeks away from a shakeup in Miami, but I would be looking to capitalize on a bad week for Jaylen Waddle in the trade market. The weather in Cleveland contributed to a forgettable offensive day for the Dolphins, but Waddle has received 6+ targets in the other games since Tyreek Hill went down for the season. Miami’s next four opponents are Atlanta, Baltimore, Buffalo, and Washington, and there is potential for the Dolphins to have to pass to keep pace or salvage some garbage-time opportunities in each.

  • With Joe Flacco in the mix, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins got an immediate boost to their fantasy outlook, and Chase is firmly back in the #1 overall conversation. Higgins was a heads-up play from a much bigger fantasy week, when he went down to run out the clock instead of scoring an easy TD. There will be some ups and downs and your-turn-my-turn ahead, but the Bengals may have pulled off one of the biggest trades of the season to stabilize their offense.
  • Things may finally be stabilizing for Ladd McConkey, as he led the Chargers in targets for the second week in a row. Quentin Johnston and Keenan Allen are still very much in the mix, but Ladd and Herbert are again on the same page in the short and intermediate field. A short week and a matchup in Minnesota could cap McConkey’s ceiling in Week 8 and present a discount trade scenario, but the second half of the fantasy season should be much better than the first.

That’s it for this week. The full lists are provided below, starting with Week 6 and followed by the season so far. Feel free to ask any questions about specific players in the comments.
