2015 Fantasy Football: Week 6 Target Report
Week 6 brought us some newcomers to this list. Players such as Danny Amendola got heavily involved against the Colts when Julian Edelman broke his finger, while others made another week happen as they have all season. You don’t have to go far to see Demaryius Thomas or target leader DeAndre Hopkins. Hopkins is far above almost anyone in targets this season. Julio Jones gave up his second place spot in targets to Thomas. It doesn’t appear anyone will get near Hopkins as he is 14 targets ahead of everyone else. Players such as Stefon Diggs and Kamar Aiken are starting to impress, and some are just flat out inconsistent. All numbers are brought to you by FantasyPros.
