We’ll try not to overreact to Week 1, but it’s difficult when that’s all you have to go on. Is Chris Hogan really a non-factor in the Patriots offense? Do Ryan Fitzpatrick and DeSean Jackson really have a special connection? Are Buffalo’s quarterbacks really incapable of getting the ball to Kelvin Benjamin? We don’t have definitive answers to these questions (well, maybe the last one), so we have to try to balance everything we saw last week. Just because Jamison Crowder wasn’t involved much in the Redskins offense doesn’t mean he won’t be this week in a favorable matchup against the Colts. We know he’s talented, and that’s important.
Of course, Week 1 workload is also important. Fantasy points can be inflated by one big play, especially a touchdown, so focusing on targets tells us a little more. Those can change in a hurry, as well, but it’s usually a better indicator of future involvement than a random 50-yard gain or even a touchdown. Things should be a little (emphasis on “little”) more clear in Week 3. In the meantime, let’s try to figure things out for Week 2.
