Tai Felton to Have Larger Role with Jefferson Out

Saturday, October 3, 8:34 AM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Tai Felton is expected to see a larger role in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins. Star wideout Justin Jefferson suffered an ankle sprain that has ruled him out, leaving Jordan Addison, Jauan Jennings, and Felton as the receivers with significant roles. The second-year receiver had two targets but no receptions in the 23-16 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, yet he played 55% of the snaps and 65% of the routes after Jefferson left the game early. He faces a Dolphins defense that has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season, but also the seventh-most passing yards. With a limited role behind Addison and Jennings still expected, Felton is not fantasy-relevant despite the increased role with Jefferson inactive.

Rookie Receiver CJ Daniels Will See More Snaps in Rams Offense

Monday, November 9, 3:40 PM

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Monday that there is "no doubt about it" that rookie wide receiver CJ Daniels will be someone who will get more opportunities to see more snaps/field time going forward, according to Stu Jackson of the team's official website. Star wideout Puka Nacua (knee, toe) is expected to join Davante Adams (hamstring) on Injured Reserve, so if the Rams do not pull off a trade for a new receiver before Tuesday's deadline, Daniels, Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell, and Jordan Whittington will all be competing for quarterback Matthew Stafford's attention in elevated offensive roles. The 24-year-old Daniels, who went undrafted, has appeared in only three games so far as a rookie and has played six offensive snaps without a single target. He will have a better chance to put numbers up in the box score this weekend against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals and will be worth a look as a deep-league flier for fantasy managers who are hurting at the position. Daniels is not currently rostered in any Yahoo leagues.
