7 Fantasy Football Splits That Matter for Week 14

Josh Gordon Can Be Even Better

That title might give the notion that Josh Gordon's first game in over three years Sunday was subpar. On the contrary. Gordon recorded 76 yards against Casey Hayward (Pro Football Focus' highest-graded corner), which was the seventh-highest mark against him since 2015.

Even having finished with a total of 4 receptions and 85 yards, though, Gordon admittedly left a lot on the table.

Josh Hermsmeyer produces a metric -- weighted opportunity rating -- at airyards.com that combines a player's share of team targets and air yards. If a player's results have been poor despite a large team share, there is clear opportunity for them to produce better results. While Gordon recorded a team-high 34.3% target share and the sixth-highest weighted opportunity rating (0.85) of any player Sunday, he somehow finished with only 12.5 fantasy points.

If you still doubt Gordon, note that our metrics rank the Green Bay Packers 26th overall in passing defense, while allowing the 7th-highest percentage of fantasy points (41%) to opposing wideouts. Buy in while you still can.
