Rishard Matthews, WR, Miami Dolphins

Nobody is truly noticing because of the mess that Miami has been prior to Week 6, but Rishard Matthews keeps balling out.

Among 78 receivers with at least 20 targets (Matthews has 32), he ranks 13th in catch rate (71.88%). For some reference, teammate Jarvis Landry (60.78%) ranks just 45th. And in terms of actual impact, there's no question about who has been better. Matthews' Reception NEP per target (1.11) ranks second in that group only to James Jones's absurd 1.54. Landry is at 0.32, ranking 75th among those 78.

Unfortunately, Landry is dominating red zone looks (he's third among receivers with 13 red zone targets); Matthews has had only one (which came in Week 1). Still, Matthews is an under-the-radar play who keeps performing. He draws the Houston Texans in Week 7, who are 17th among fantasy receivers and 23rd in pass defense, according to our metrics.
