Tim Patrick, WR, Denver Broncos

Yahoo! Ownership: 2%

If you are looking for a hail mary wideout this week, look no further than Tim Patrick of the Denver Broncos.

The rookie receiver burst on to the scene last Sunday as he racked up a team-high 10 targets, 7 catches, and 85 yards in the Broncos' first game sans Emmanuel Sanders. Patrick finished the game having played 64 snaps -- 86% of the available plays -- the second-most of any Broncos’ receiver. In a nice matchup against the Cleveland Browns this weekend, Patrick should see plenty of opportunities to make him worth that dart throw, even during the playoffs.

The Browns have given up the second-most passing yards per game (278.0) while opposing receivers have caught the fifth-most passes. Wideouts average over 38 PPR points per game against Cleveland, leaving a good chance for Patrick to produce.

The passing volume should also remain high for the Broncos this week as they are just 2.5-points home favorites on Saturday.
