Samaje Perine, RB, Cincinnati Bengals: Perine found the end zone three times in the Bengals’ win against the Steelers as he took over for a concussed Joe Mixon. Two of his receiving touchdowns were with Mixon still in the game, and Perine becomes a FLEX option if Mixon were to miss action.
Rachaad White, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: He has been featured in this piece several times this season, and he’s still widely available in fantasy leagues. The Bucs are giving him more work each week and he could be the starter by season’s end.
Christian Watson, WR, Green Bay Packers: A non-factor in the first half of the season, Watson has now found the end zone five times in two games. You can’t expect that type of production each week, but he’s seen 14 targets the past two weeks and has quickly become a favorite of Aaron Rodgers.
Treylon Burks, WR, Tennessee Titans: The rookie missed four games with a toe injury, but he too has seen 14 targets the last two weeks and is coming off his best game as a pro. The Titans’ offense is run heavy, but Burks will get a lot of single coverage as teams stack the box to slow down Derrick Henry.

Darius Slayton, WR, New York Giants: Another repeat from last week, but it’s hard to ignore 10 targets against the Lions. He’s clearly a focal point of the offense for the Giants, who lost Wan’Dale Robinson in the fourth quarter.
Nico Collins, WR, Houston Texans: The Texans are a bad team and are forced to throw the football often. Collins has drawn 17 targets the last two weeks as a result. If he continues to see that many targets, he can be relied on as a FLEX play.
Juwan Johnson, TE, New Orleans Saints: He hasn’t topped 50 yards in a single game this season but has found the end zone five times in five games. At a position that has been dreadful, he is worth a roster spot.
Logan Thomas, TE, Washington Commanders: Thomas has battled numerous injuries in recent years, but he looks healthy and saw a solid target share against the Texans. If you need a streaming option at tight end, Thomas can be relied upon.
