Danario Alexander put up 134 receiving yards on 5 receptions with 1 touchdown Sunday against Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Danario Alexander now has 195 receiving yards in his last two games with the Chargers. He is available in virtually every fantasy league so he will be the hot commodity on the wire this week. But I’m not sold on Alexander yet and neither should you. He’s put up the 195 yards on just 8 receptions which is 24.3 yards per catch. Only one player in the league has a yards per catch average over 20.0 with more than 30 receptions this year. Thus, all signs point to Danario coming back down to reality. We must also consider that 8 receptions over two weeks is not much and the same goes for the 10 targets he’s been on the end of in that span.
I’m not saying that Danario Alexander won’t be productive from here on out but he cannot be relied upon as the fantasy season gets more serious by the week. As good as Danario has been he’s been playing against Kansas City and Tampa’s defensive backs which should put things back into persepctive. Up next for the Chargers is Denver, Baltimore, Cincy and Pittsburgh. Maybe after that we will see if he’s legit and if he can hold off a healthy Robert Meachem for snaps but now it’s time to sell.
