There are 13-year-old kids who have never lived through a year in which Anquan Boldin saw fewer than 99 targets.

He may finally fall shy of that mark this season -- being on pace for only 96 -- but with his recent usage, there may still be hope for him. He has 9 targets in each of his last two games and has turned in 13 receptions in that span.

His fantasy upside takes a hit from his efficiency falling off as he gets older, and he is on pace for the fourth-lowest Reception NEP per target mark of his career after posting a career-low last season, but that high target volume gives him a nice floor, especially in PPR leagues.

He is also tied for a team-high 26.7% of the Detroit Lions' red zone targets on the season, helping make up for some of the upside lost by his inefficiency.

He brings this into a great matchup in Week 13, taking on a New Orleans Saints defense that ranked 27th in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play heading into Week 12 before allowing 214 yards and 3 touchdowns through the air to the Jared Goff-led Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
