Chase Claypool Fantasy

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool continues to take the league by storm in his rookie campaign. Claypool has scored 10 total touchdowns in the first 10 games of his career, emerging as one of Ben Roethlisberger's favorite red-zone targets. The Steelers face off against the Baltimore Ravens in the Thursday night game in Week 12. Claypool will have his work cut out for him against a Baltimore secondary that is allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position. That being said, Claypool has shown that he is a multi-touchdown threat any time he takes the field. Treat him as a low-end WR2 for his game on Thanksgiving night.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool caught four of eight targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in a 27-3 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11. Claypool and Ben Roethlisberger connected for a 31-yard score in the second quarter, giving Claypool 10 total touchdowns in his impressive rookie season. While Claypool continues to find the end zone often, he hasn't topped 74 receiving yards since back in Week 5. That has made him a bit touchdown-dependent in fantasy, of course that hasn't been an issue thanks to his frequent trips to the end zone. Claypool will be a strong fantasy option in Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool has certainly impressed in his rookie season, having found the end zone nine times in nine games. The rookie wideout has a good shot at improving those numbers in Week 11 against a shaky Jacksonville Jaguars pass defense. Jacksonville's pass defense ranks just 31st in the league in DVOA and is allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position. The Pittsburgh receiver room is crowded but the Steelers have shown that they can support three wideouts in fantasy most weeks. Treat Claypool as an upside WR2 this weekend.
