Fantasy Life Articles on Pat Bryant
From the article
Bryant returned to the lineup vs. the Panthers on Sunday after missing the minimum four games on IR with an ankle injury and immediately tallied 4 receptions for 56 yards and a TD on a 15% target share. Bryant With Waddle (77 routes): 12% target share, 0.31 fantasy points/route, 1.45 yards/route. Bryant Without Waddle (45 routes): 23% target share, 0.44 fantasy points/route, 1.71 yards/route.
STACKED’s take
Bryant's target share spikes without Waddle; stash him before bye week.
Denver WR Pat Bryant returned from a four-game IR stint (ankle injury) in Week 10 vs. Panthers with 4 receptions for 56 yards and a TD on 15% target share. The source recommends stashing Bryant because he has repeatedly shown an ability to earn targets when healthy, and his splits without Jaylen Waddle (who suffered a concussion in Week 9) are significantly stronger: 23% target share, 0.44 fantasy points/route, and 1.71 yards/route compared to 12% target share, 0.31 fantasy points/route, and 1.45 yards/route with Waddle. With Denver heading into their bye week, Bryant likely got overlooked in waiver bidding. Post-bye, the Broncos face the Raiders (7th biggest boost to opposing WRs), Bills (+3.2), and Patriots (+5.4), creating favorable matchups down the stretch.
