Stash Pat Bryant On Your Fantasy Football Roster

With the dust now settled for both the NFL trade deadline and the Week 10 waivers, I think there’s still a move you might be able to sneak through …

Add Denver WR Pat Bryant

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.

Not only has Bryant repeatedly shown an ability to earn targets when he’s on the field, but Jaylen Waddle—who left the game early in Week 9 due to a concussion—just can’t stay healthy.

As Alex Cupps noted in the Week 10 Waiver Wire piece, his splits with and without Waddle are significant:

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

Whether Waddle misses time or not, I still like Bryant as a stash. Because the Broncos are heading into their bye week, there’s a very good chance he got overlooked in the bid frenzy on Tuesday and Wednesday.

After the bye, the Broncos are at home vs. the Raiders, who give up the 7th biggest boost to opposing WRs. They also get matchups vs. the Bills (+3.2) and Patriots (+5.4) down the stretch.

Of course, Bryant isn’t the only other long-view target you might be able to stash for free right now.

In this week’s Utilization Report, Dwain flagged a couple more, including a WR who plays on the No. 3 scoring offense in the league where the WR room is extremely fragile:

Week 10 Starts and Sits From Dwain McFarland

START: Tyler Shough | Saints

Shough typically finds a way to come through for fantasy managers. He had one big-time dud game against the Vikings in Week 5 (1.8 points). But otherwise, he has five top-8 finishes plus QB15 and QB18 outings.

Shough ranks 12th in passing YPG (248) and is tied for 12th in passing TDs per game (1.75). And he gets valuable rushing attempts in scoring position. The second-year QB has handled 41% of the Saints' rushing attempts inside the five-yard line (3rd), with 0.9 per game.
