Outlook KC Concepcion
KC Concepcion at New Orleans — Explosive Rookie Offers Appealing Flex Value
Concepcion enters Week 9 fully healthy and operating as Cleveland's primary slot receiver. Over his past two contests, the rookie has flashed explosive playmaking ability, hauling in 11 of 14 targets for 166 receiving yards. Keep an eye on the quarterback situation, however, as Deshaun Watson is questionable with a concussion, which could thrust Shedeur Sanders into action.
Our projections anticipate a solid showing inside the Caesars Superdome, slating Concepcion for roughly 3.4 receptions and 40 receiving yards (8.7 fantasy points). While he is rostered in 83% of leagues, fantasy managers are only starting him at a 34% clip. Given his recent yardage momentum and versatility, he makes for a viable WR3 or upside flex play.
