Wednesdays bring more of the stats and trends articles, and you can view them all in full on the Analysis tab. The two main names to pay attention to that other analysts are keying in on as well are Antonio Brown and Brandon Lloyd. Familiar names, but names you might not yet associate as top tier WRs. Lloyd has not been finding the end zone as frequently, but according to Ken Daube from ESPN he is averaging 12.7 targets per game over the last 4 weeks. This is nearly 2 total targets more than the next closest WR. Antonio Brown is in the top 10 in targets as well and has even received more targets than his flashier counterpart Mike Wallace the last 3 weeks. If it were not for the speedy Wallace last week stealing away a TD late against Baltimore on a target intended for Brown, Antonio would have delivered an 18 point day and his 2nd TD in as many weeks. Sanders is ruled out for a couple weeks so Brown should see even more targets on a team leaning more and more towards the pass.
Both of these WRs are looking to finish the season strong so looking to trade for them now while their value is relatively low could make a huge difference down the stretch.
