Here's What I'd Do with the 10 Most Confusing Players Right Now

Bijan Robinson is identified as the only player on the Falcons' roster besides Drake London capable of consistently earning targets, making him a critical component of the team's offensive production.

Michael Penn expresses a negative outlook on Brian Thomas Jr., citing frequent dropped passes and poor performance when on the field. Penn also notes that Thomas Jr. is often smothered by top cornerbacks because he runs his routes on the outside.

Michael Penn identifies CeeDee Lamb as an elite receiver, citing superior usage metrics compared to peers like George Pickens. Lamb boasts a 27% target share, 14.1 A-dot, 46% of team air yards, 60% of team end zone targets, a 35% slot rate, and a 94% catchable target rate.

Michael Penn highlights Christian Watson as a primary beneficiary of the Packers' condensed target tree, especially with Jaden Reed injured. Watson maintains a 27% target share and 33% of the team's air yards, making him a high-value asset in an offense where Jordan Love is frequently pushing the ball downfield.

Michael Penn suggests targeting Chuba Hubbard in trades, even proposing a swap for Devon Achane. Penn argues that Hubbard is in a beautiful runout with increased scoring opportunities and a solidified role in the Panthers' backfield while Jonathan Brooks remains sidelined.

Michael Penn recommends selling Devon Achane due to the poor Miami offensive environment, specifically citing low scoring potential, poor rushing efficiency, and a lack of goal-line opportunities. Penn notes that Achane's target numbers have declined and he is no longer in the same tier as elite backs like James Cook.

Michael Penn includes Dontayvion Wicks as a key piece of the Green Bay Packers' condensed target tree that he is actively targeting for fantasy rosters.

Michael Penn identifies Drake London as a clear hold; he remains the focal point of the Falcons' offense with a consistently high target share. Despite past inconsistencies, he is projected to finish as a top-10 wide receiver (WR6-WR9 range) due to a favorable schedule from weeks 13-18 and the team's commitment to Michael Penix Jr. as the starter.

Michael Penn advises holding or selling George Pickens rather than buying, noting concerns about his usage and consistency. Pickens has a 23% target share, 13.3 A-dot, and 35% air yard share, but runs 97% of routes on the outside with only a 3% slot rate, making easy targets harder to earn compared to last year's 10% slot rate. He has a 79% catchable target rate with uncharacteristic early-season drops. Penn highlights a difficult late-season schedule (Eagles, Seahawks, Rams) and a late bye, suggesting his name cache allows for a sale that is not necessarily selling low.

Michael Penn recommends picking up Jakobi Meyers, noting he is running the most routes of any receiver on the team. Despite a slow start, Penn believes the offense will stabilize and Meyers will see better days ahead, making him an ideal long-term bench stash or waiver wire addition. Penn also highlights the established chemistry between Meyers and Trevor Lawrence, which was productive during the second half of the previous season.

Jameis Winston is the replacement for the injured Jackson Dart. While his initial performance was poor, Michael Penn suggests it may be premature to judge his entire season outlook based on a limited sample size of play.

Michael Penn notes that Jaden Reed's absence has provided a boost to the target distribution within the Green Bay Packers' offense, contributing to the increased usage of other pass catchers like Tucker Kraft.

Michael Penn notes that the Green Bay Packers are focused on getting the ball out of Jordan Love's hands quickly, which influences the target distribution for his receivers and tight ends.

Michael Penn notes that while Josh Downs will step into a larger role with Alec Pierce out for 4-6 weeks, he has concerns about his long-term ceiling as a slot-only receiver. Penn suggests flipping Downs now for a younger, ascending receiver or selling if someone is looking to buy high, noting he would prefer Matthew Golden over Downs rest-of-season.

Michael Penn notes that Kendre Miller split carries with Travis Etienne Jr. in Week 1, but was a healthy scratch in Week 2, indicating an uncertain role in the New Orleans backfield.

Michael Penn advises against panic selling Malik Nabers, labeling him a hold or a buy if others are panicking. Despite a shoulder injury and the transition to Jameis Winston at quarterback, Penn expects Winston to target Nabers heavily. Nabers has a favorable schedule ahead against the Titans, Cardinals, Commanders, and Saints, followed by a strong fantasy playoff schedule.

Michael Penn views Matthew Golden as a strong buy or hold candidate, noting his high target share in a condensed Packers passing attack. Golden and Christian Watson each command a 27% target share, combining for 54% of team targets, 33% of air yards, and 40% of end zone targets, which Penn characterizes as WR1-level production. Penn explicitly prefers Golden over Josh Downs for the remainder of the season.

Michael Penix Jr. is expected to remain the starting quarterback for the remainder of the season as the team evaluates his potential over Tua Tagovailoa. He appears fully healthy and confident, which provides a stable outlook for the Falcons' primary pass-catchers.

Michael Penn identifies Nico Collins as a player currently on his bench whom he is considering using as a trade asset to acquire other players, such as the injured Puka Nacua, in leagues where he is already in a strong position.

Michael Penn reports that Puka Nacua is dealing with a groin flare-up that is being treated with extreme caution to avoid a sports hernia. Penn expects Nacua to miss Week 3 and potentially face an extended absence, projecting a return around Week 6. Buying is only viable for managers with strong depth; struggling teams should consider selling.

Michael Penn views Rashee Rice as a buy-low candidate. While acknowledging Rice is not an elite alpha receiver, Penn notes the Chiefs' offense is high-scoring and lacks other target earners to challenge Rice's role. Penn projects Rice to finish as a WR12-WR15 and expects him to remain involved in designed plays near the goal line.

Michael Penn identifies Tank Bigsby as a 'screaming buy' because he is outplaying Chris Rodriguez by a wide margin, showing more explosiveness and receiving more carries, despite not having had a major statistical blowup game yet.

Michael Penn classifies Travis Etienne Jr. as a hold or buy, despite disappointing usage and a minor hamstring strain. Penn maintains faith in the New Orleans offense and notes an upcoming favorable schedule that should allow production to normalize over the next month.

Michael Penn identifies Tucker Kraft as a buy-low candidate. Despite early-season struggles, Kraft has transitioned into a full-time role, running the majority of routes over the last two weeks. Penn expects him to ramp back up to his previous form by weeks five or six as the team continues to prioritize getting the ball out of Jordan Love's hands quickly.
