Below are 32 notes covering each of the league's 32 teams. Use these tidbits to make the best waiver-wire, trade and lineup decisions this week. Be sure to check back each week of the season for a new version of the Fantasy 32.
(Note: I've written at length about opportunity-adjusted touchdowns (OTD) in the past. If you're new to the stat, be sure to check out our introduction to rushing and receiving OTD. The OTD metric weighs every carry/target and converts the data into one number that indicates a player's scoring opportunity.)
1. Since we started tracking the stat back in 2008, Vernon Davis has caught 33 (or 61 percent) of his 54 end zone targets. That's the best rate in the league among players who have seen at least 50 end zone looks during the span; the league average in the category is 37 percent. During the 2013 regular season, Davis caught nine end zone targets for touchdowns, which was third-most in the NFL. I mention all of this because Davis has seen one end zone target this season (he caught it, of course). Averaging 4.3 targets per game, Davis has scored twice in six games, and is 28th in fantasy points among tight ends. The veteran is a risky weekly play until the San Francisco 49ers get back to correctly using one of the best red zone targets in the league.

2. Since making his NFL debut in Week 7, Martavis Bryant has racked up five touchdowns in three games. As impressive as that is, it's not even in the vicinity of sustainable. Bryant is a situational player, averaging 28 snaps per game. He's seen 17 targets thus far, catching 10 for 167 yards. He's been targeted in or within one yard of the end zone six times, and he has caught five of them for scores. Again, that's an extremely unsustainable rate. The Pittsburgh Steelers are on an absurd streak where they've scored 20 passing touchdowns against no rushing scores in their past six games. We're going to see a lot of regression from this offense in a variety of areas in the coming weeks. Bryant is an emerging force, but the playing time isn't there just yet. Of course, with the New York Jets on tap this week, he remains worthy of WR3 consideration.
3. Emerging stars DeAndre Hopkins and Mike Evans rank 12th and 24th, respectively, in fantasy points among wide receivers this season. Meanwhile, veteran teammates Andre Johnson and Vincent Jackson rank 37th and 42nd, respectively. A simple comparison suggests that both Hopkins and Evans have taken over as their respective team's No. 1 wide receiver. That's not the case. In Houston, Johnson has seen 77 targets on the season, compared to 61 for Hopkins. In Tampa, Jackson has played more snaps than Evans and holds a 63-to-50 lead in targets in games in which both players appeared.
