From the article

According to the FantasyPoints Data Suite, Lane is targeted on 21.3% of his routes and produces 0.34 fantasy points per route. Lane's overall route participation is only 56.5% this season, but that climbed to 70% in Week 7. If that continues, Lane could become a more useful fantasy option. This week, Lane faces Davison Igbinosun. According to the FantasyPoints Data Suite, Igbinosun allows 0.43 fantasy points per route run and is targeted on 21.1% of routes run against him. Starting Lane still carries significant risk, especially with Zay Flowers commanding so much of the passing volume. However, Lamar Jackson's expected return and high projected game total make this matchup attractive. If you are struggling with bye weeks and need to take a chance on a FLEX player, Lane could be worth considering.
