Ted Ginn recorded 71 receiving yards on 3 receptions with 1 touchdown on Sunday afternoon against the New York Giants.
Analysis: Ginn now has 133 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns over his last two contests. This all seems promising but he isn’t without fantasy concerns and the first of which is reliability. Ginn was only targeted 4 times against the Giants and only 13 times this year over three games. To put those targets in perspective Josh Gordon of the Browns was targeted 19 times today, he is available in about 10% of fantasy leagues.
Yes, Ted Ginn is a playmaker but 13 targets over three games won’t get it done week in, week out. He is worth roster consideration but cannot be trusted as a WR3/Flex option. He has a bye in week four so I doubt there will be a rush to pick him up. At the moment Ginn is available in 97-99% of fantasy leagues. A guy like Nate Burleson makes more sense here. Burleson has been targeted 23 times this year and has 19 receptions to Ginn’s 7. Burleson is available in 65-95% of fantasy leagues.
