More fun with targets
While I wrap up my fun with targets afternoon, try this blind taste test of the target leaders from surprising NFC team.
Player One: 20 targets, 15 catches, 245 yards, 0 TD
Player Two: 19 targets, 14 catches, 256 yards, 2 TD
Player two definitely gets an edge with the scores, but otherwise they are as even as can be. Can you guess who they are?
Player one is Ike Hilliard and player two is Joey Galloway. Hilliard probably can't keep this up, but the numbers indicate that I should probably rank him this week in Goal Line Stand.
The numbers also tell me that the Bucs are efficient passing the ball, but they don't overly feature their wideouts; Michael Pittman and Alex Smith are close with 16 targets. They also aren't throwing the ball much as a team.
Tampa is 29th in pass attempts and fourth in rushing attempts, numbers that should help dispel Jon Gruden's repuation as a pass-first coach. He's happy to run the ball like crazy if the Bucs are winning. And with that, I'm gone until tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by.
Comments
In standard PPR leagues, Mason is ahead of Alexander in total points, he's scored double figures every week (more than Alexander can claim), and has outscored SA two of those weeks.
Throw in a decent matchup with SanFran (at least when Clements isn't on him) and a tough game for Alexander, it definitely isn't insane to start Mason over Alexander this week.
Of course, that's if Mason suits up. If he's not practicing Friday and goes in as questionable, I'd stay away.
