New England Patriots wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk managed to out-snap Demario Douglas last Sunday, but the rookie still lacks reliability heading into Week 3 against the New York Jets. He only got onto the fantasy radar last week because of a touchdown. If not for finding the end zone, he would have had just two catches for 12 yards, which is not starter-worthy production in most fantasy leagues. Given the Patriots' apparent disinterest in throwing the football often, Polk will remain a player whose fantasy value hinges on finding the end zone. With the Patriots' offense not a threat to score major points this year, even touchdowns may be hard to come by, leaving Polk off the radar in most leagues. If you are forced to start him in deeper leagues, know that he's merely a dart throw this week.
New England Patriots wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk turned three targets into two catches, 12 yards, and one touchdown during the team's 23-20 overtime loss against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. Even though Polk wasn't very heavily targeted, he actually led all Patriots receivers in targets, catches, yards, and touchdowns in Week 2. In fact, K.J. Osborn was the only other Patriots receiver to even garner a target in this contest. This tells us that New England is committed to employing a run-heavy approach, making the receivers somewhat of an afterthought. Polk is an appealing dynasty target, but he lacks redraft appeal for the time being.
New England Patriots wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk hauled in his lone target for a gain of six yards during Sunday's Week 1 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Fans and fantasy managers alike were curious to see where Polk would rank in the pecking order, and now we have our answer. At best, he's the No. 3 receiver behind Demario Douglas and K.J. Osborn. It's worth noting that Tyquan Thornton saw more volume than him, too. Polk is avoidable in redraft leagues and nothing more than a bench stash in deeper dynasty formats.
