Wide Receivers
Danny Amendola – New England Patriots (21.6 percent)
The New England Patriots just keep adding to their injury report. Two weeks ago, the Patriots announced that running back Dion Lewis would miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL and now their most productive wide receiver, Julian Edelman, has been added to the list.
So who would be the best fit to replace him? Well, considering Edelman was leading the team in targets per game, someone is going to have to step up and fill the void, and it starts with Danny Amendola. Through ten weeks of action, Amendola has only one 100 yard receiving game under his belt while reaching the endzone twice, but do not let those stats fool you.
When Edelman went down in Week 10, Amendola saw a season-high ten targets, and with Edelman set to miss the remainder of the season, Amendola can expect to see an increase in targets and playing time – making him a must-add in all leagues.
Dwayne Harris – New York Giants (9.4 percent)
Giants Wide Receiver Victor Cruz announced that he will undergo season ending calf surgery, making Dwayne Harris a potential fantasy target.
The Giants offense has been rolling this season, scoring more than 20 points in every game except one. Harris has proved he has upside through ten weeks of play, scoring four touchdowns and averaging between three and six receptions per game. With the absence of Cruz, and playing alongside fellow wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., Harris looks to be one of the team’s top options for the rest of the season.
In deep leagues, Harris makes for an interesting add.
