Still working our way through the NFL byes with four teams out (Atlanta, Indianapolis, New Orleans, and New England), just some helpful numbers for the DFS gamers and the seasonal players setting their lineups for Week 11.

Here are the target leaders through 10 weeks.

WR-Top 10 Targets
1. Stefon Diggs - 102
2. Ja’Marr Chase - 99
3. Michael Pittman Jr - 98
4. Davante Adams - 98
5. Tyreek Hill - 97
6. Keenan Allen - 97
7. Puk Nacua - 96
8. Garrett Wilson - 95
9. Chris Olave - 94
10.AJ Brown - 92

CeeDee Lamb (Cowboys) There has not been a hotter receiver over the past three weeks than CeeDee Lamb. He has been heavily targeted (44 targets) registering 34 receptions for 500 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Consider Lamb and Top-10 candidate this week against the Panthers.

Amon-Ra St.Brown (Lions) The Lions receiver has been one of the most consistent pass catchers this season. Over his last three games St.Brown has been targeted 37 times, hauling in 27 passes, for 366 yards and a score. He’s locked in as a WR-1 this week against the Bears.

TE-Top 10 Targets
1. TJ Hockenson - 95
2. Travis Kelce - 72
3. Evan Engram - 68
4. Sam LaPorta - 64
5. Mark Andrews - 59
6. Kyle Pitts - 58
7. Cole Kmet - 57
8. Dalton Schultz - 56
9. David Njoku - 54
10.Dallas Goedert - 52

Dalton Schultz (Texans) Over his last two games the Texans tight end has been highly productive and efficient. Schultz has been targeted 17 times, turning in 14 receptions, for 201 yards receiving and a score. He ranks as a mid-to-low TE-1 in Week 11, even versus a Cardinals defense that has pretty good versus opposing tight ends.

RB-Top 10 Targets
1. Alvin Kamara - 56
2. Christian McCaffrey - 47
3. Josh Jacobs - 45
4. Rhamondre Stevenson - 45
5. Bijan Robinson - 43
6. Travis Etienne Jr - 39
7. Jaylen Warren - 39
8. Jamyr Gibbs - 38
9. Rachaad White - 37
10.Alexander Mattison - 36

Austin Ekeler (Chargers) Since returning to action in Week 6, it seems every week Ekeler is getting healthier and more productive. Over his last three games Ekeler is averaging 20.3 touches per game resulting in 143 yards rushing, 13 receptions (on 22 targets), 165 yards receiving, and 4 touchdowns. With an excellent Week 11 matchup with the Packers, Ekeler is a Top-10 lock.

RB-Top 10 Touches
1. Josh Jacobs - 216
2. Christian McCaffrey -191
3. Travis Etienne Jr - 189
4. Derrick Henry - 167
5. Rachaad White - 167
6. D’Andre Swift - 165
7. Tony Pollard - 164
8. Joe Mixon - 163
9. Saquon Barkley - 162
10.Kenneth Walker III - 161

Saquon Barkley (Giants) Despite the struggling Giants offense, Barkley continues to see just enough volume to stay relevant. Barkley is averaging 24 touches over his last three games, resulting in 302 total yards with no touchdowns. As long as the offense struggles Barkley will linger in the low RB-2/flex range.

That's my take!
