10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 12
With a team-high 14 targets on Sunday, Tre'Quan Smith showed he's still a big part of the Saints' offense. Who else is worth picking up?

There have been five times this season that a Jacksonville Jaguars wideout has seen double-digit targets in a single game. Two of those five occurrences have been from Dede Westbrook, who is also the only one to do it since Week 7 (doing so in Week 10).

He saw some reasonable volume in his game before that as well (six targets in Week 8), and while his four targets in Week 11 were nothing special, they weren't without fantasy value.

Per airyards.com, Westbrook had an average depth of target (aDOT) of 14.8 yards, tallying 59 air yards. The Jags also didn't throw much (Blake Bortles attempted 18 passes), so those 4 targets earned Westbrook a target market share of 22%, to go with a a team-high 39% market share of the total air yards.

Westbrook leads the team in both of those marks over their last three games as well (20% target and 25% air yard market share), and while that hasn't translated to much fantasy production, it's still hard to ignore that volume.

This has been a tough receiving corps to figure out for fantasy football purposes this season, but with the significant edge in workload recently (his 19 targets are almost double the next-highest mark of 13 for a Jags' wideout in their last three games), he may be coming on as the team's top pass-catcher down the stretch.
