Tajaé Sharpe Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Tajae Sharpe caught four passes for 53 receiving yards in Sunday's win over the Jets. Sharpe led the receiver room in all categories, taking advantage of the added playing time with Calvin Ridley (personal) and Russell Gage (ankle) on the sidelines. The veteran wideout showed he can deliver when given the playing time, though he shouldn't be expected to have a fantasy-relevant role moving forward, considering both Ridley and Gage will have the Week 6 bye to rejoin the team for practice.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Tajae Sharpe is likely to start on the outside at wideout against the Jets in Week 5. Calvin Ridley (personal) and Russell Gage (ankle) will miss the contest, opening up a wealth of opportunities for someone like Sharpe- who has seen his snap count rise over the last three weeks. It's worth noting that the 27-year-old has exceeded 500 receiving yards in a season just once, so his fantasy upside is limited. He's best avoided for fantasy purposes, though it wouldn't be surprising to see him have a good game.

The Minnesota Vikings waived wide receiver Tajae Sharpe on Monday after signing him in free agency. Sharpe, a fifth-round pick of the Titans back in 2016, played in just four games with Minnesota this year and had no catches on three targets. The 25-year-old is likely to clear waivers but could latch on with another team as receiver depth for the rest of the season. In his three seasons with the Titans, Sharpe had 92 catches on 165 targets for 1,167 yards and eight touchdowns in 47 games (29 starts). The Vikings will soldier on the rest of the season with OlaBisi Johnson, Chad Beebe and rookies Dan Chisena and KJ Osborn as receiving depth behind starters Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson.
