Tylan Wallace News
Saturday, November 22, 12:15 PM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Tylan Wallace has seen a bit of an increase in snap count since Rashod Bateman (ankle) has been sidelined. The only issue is that the added snaps haven't turned into production since the top targets are still playing. Wallace can be a decent deep threat with his speed, but a lot of the time, the offensive line hasn't given Lamar Jackson enough time for deep routes to progress. In Week 12, the Ravens take on the New York Jets, who rank 13th overall (23rd over last four weeks) against the position. Even with that being said, Wallace is projected as the WR112 in half-PPR leagues, so he's not a recommended start in most formats.

Dont'e Thornton Jr. News
Monday, February 16, 5:56 PM
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr. had an underwhelming rookie season, catching just 10 of his 30 targets for 135 yards through 15 games. There was plenty of preseason hype about the Tennessee product, so it was frustrating to see that he never really produced at a significant level. Part of the blame falls on Thornton himself, but we can also attribute some of it to the poor state of the Raiders' offense. Quarterback Geno Smith struggled during his first year with the team, amassing 17 interceptions and just 19 touchdowns. All signs point to Vegas drafting college football standout Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 overall pick, which would put the offense in a better state and potentially lead to more upside for Thornton. He could also pick up some additional targets with veteran Tyler Lockett headed for free agency. The 23-year-old is a very intriguing buy-low candidate in dynasty leagues after his quiet season. Dynasty managers may have already grown impatient with Thornton, meaning that he could be acquired at minimal cost.
