Carolina Panthers wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. cemented himself as quarterback Cam Newton's No. 1 wide receiver in a win over the New York Giants on Sunday. Ginn was targeted a whopping 14 times. He finished the game with six receptions for 85 yards and two touchdowns. He dropped what would have been a 56-yard touchdown in overtime. Ginn has scored two touchdowns in each of his last three games.

Fantasy impact: Ginn has been on an absolute tear through three games now. As long as Newton continues to start, despite securing home-field advantage throughout the playoffs in Sunday’s win, Ginn should be started in all formats. His floor can be debilitating, but his three weeks of dominant play makes Ginn a legitimate fantasy weapon. Ginn is a WR3 in standard scoring with tremendous upside. He has even more appeal in PPR formats, scoring over 20 points for three weeks in a row. He’s available in over 40 percent of Yahoo! leagues as of Monday.
