Outlook Ryan Flournoy

Ryan Flournoy at Houston — Target Volume Growing in the Dallas Slot

Flournoy operates as the primary slot receiver in Dallas alongside CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. His involvement has steadily climbed over the first three contests, seeing eight targets in his last outing and drawing 14 looks across the past two weeks.

While his target share is encouraging, low efficiency has kept his fantasy output modest, totaling just 67 yards on nine receptions this season. In what could be a high-scoring matchup against Houston, our weekly projection expects Flournoy to secure around three catches for 38 yards. Rostered in just 7% of leagues, he remains a bench stash in standard formats and strictly a deep-league PPR flex consideration.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt in London vs. Colts — Workload Primed to Expand

Operating as Washington's primary early-down runner, Croskey-Merritt has handled 31 carries over the last two weeks heading into a neutral-site clash in London. His path to touches looks even clearer this week, as backfield mate Rachaad White is battling a shoulder injury that sidelined him in practice.

Our models project roughly 17 rushes for 57 yards and 10.6 fantasy points, making him a viable flex option across standard and PPR leagues. Although his 3.0 yards per carry this season and an offensive line managing injuries present efficiency hurdles, his locked-in touch volume provides a bankable fantasy floor.
