Week 8 at Carolina Panthers
Michael Crabtree only gained 66 yards last week against the Saints, but he was targeted a team-high nine times. Crabtree is leading the team with 64 targets this season, giving him a high-floor in PPR formats. He just also has a low-season, as a touchdown-dependent receiver with only two touchdowns this season.
This week, Crabtree will face a Panthers defense that has been very average against the pass this year, allowing 81 receptions but only five touchdowns to opposing wide receivers. Expect another day with five or six catches, a decent shot at a touchdown, and a low ceiling for the veteran. He’s a fringe WR2/WR3 option, better used in PPR formats.
