Outlook Efton Chism

Efton Chism at Miami — Thin Receiving Corps Offers Sneaky Peripheral Snaps

With Romeo Doubs and Mack Hollins both sidelined on injured reserve, Chism continues to see perimeter opportunities behind DeMario Douglas and a banged-up A.J. Brown. While his clutch touchdown earlier this month flashed his ability, he has cooled down considerably with only one catch for 16 yards over his last two appearances.

Our models project Chism for approximately 1.3 receptions, 17 receiving yards, and 4.4 fantasy points against the 1-5 Dolphins. With New England favored by a touchdown and Chism rostered in only 2% of leagues, fantasy managers should keep him parked on the bench in standard leagues.
