Donnie Avery gets 12 targets and is a fantasy option

Donnie Avery had a team-high 12 targets. We break down the fantasy implications.

Brian Spurlock-US PRESSWIRE - Presswire

Donnie Avery led the team in targets and finished Sunday's loss with four catches for 60 yards and no TDs.

Avery has stayed healthy and his ACL tear looks to be a distant memory. He has 21 catches for 258 yards on the season.

Fantasy Impact: When a player gets more targets than Reggie Wayne, he deserves to get tons of attention in the fantasy world. T.Y. Hilton only saw four targets, so it's become abundantly clear which WR will be the Z option opposite to Reggie Wayne. Avery might actually be a sneaky play this week since Joe Haden will likely shadow Reggie Wayne next week. Avery is pretty close to must-own in fantasy leagues.
