Week 10 Fantasy Football Market Share Report: Nick Chubb Is a Monster
Red-Zone Market Shares
1. Aaron Jones Is Dominating Red-Zone Work
Aaron Jones is doing what many in the fantasy community have hoped he'd do since the Green Bay Packers drafted him in 2017. Given the keys to the backfield, Jones has taken his chance and ran with it -- literally
In Week 11, he amassed 145 yards on the ground, scoring twice. He's now seen at least 12 carries and gone for at least 75 yards in three straight games.
Last week, Jones saw 15 rushing attempts against the Miami Dolphins, compared to Jamaal Williams seeing only 3 touches (all carries).
Further, Jones is handling 44 percent of the Packers' red-zone rushes. And since taking over a majority of the work in Week 8, Jones has logged 14, 16 and 18 touches and has 3 rushing touchdowns in the span.
The Jones train has officially left the station, and we project him as the RB11 over the rest of the season.
2. JuJu Smith-Schuster Is Seeing the Best Kind of Targets
JuJu Smith-Schuster’s 20 red-zone targets are tied with Davante Adams for the most among wideouts, with only Alvin Kamara (21) having more among all players.
Smith-Schuster is a locked-and-loaded WR1 the rest of the way -- the WR9 by our models -- who is somewhat overshadowed by the great Antonio Brown.
This has been mentioned in this series before, but it needs repeating: Smith-Schuster could be a monster down the stretch, and he probably won’t cost nearly what other top receiving options are going for. The reason for that is JuJu's immense red-zone volume hasn't resulted in touchdowns.
Smith-Schuster is seeing 39 percent of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ red-zone passing work, while Brown is at a 25.5 percent share. Amazingly, Brown has 10 scores while JuJu has just 3. Smith-Schuster is due for some positive touchdown regression while Brown is due to head the other way, making JuJu a great player to target in trades.
