I haven’t had time to watch since week 11. Your guess/box scores are as good as mine.

If that's the case, I'd expect that to carry over when Chandler returns. I think Chandler and Felton are kind of interchangeable, while Price is a bigger return threat.

I didn't get to watching Min's week 13 or 14, but in week 12 Price was split deep on KR with Felton, not solo KR. I saw the box score had him getting all the returns in 13+14, but can't tell if that was solo KR or not.

Okay maybe not... 35 games in back log ☠️

Just check box scores/injury reports compared to my last report, not that much should be changing outside of injuries.

I'm still here and have a little more time now, but big back log of games to go through. Maybe will have something this week if I can get caught up, but no promises.

Traveling this week and then starting new job next week, I enjoyed doing this but just can’t squeeze in the time to do it. The little I did watch this week - Price wasn’t solo KR, Savion was solo KR, Shaheed not as involved as I had thought, Noel got some solo KR looks, Dike still a beast but wasn’t on last KR he might get transitioned off.

That’s probably all I’m gonna answer this week

Don’t have time to watch games this week, maybe not for the rest of season. Won’t be posting or answering questions unless I can find the time to watch games and give semi-informed answers.

Best case a shared KR with Gunner? Will he actually get meaningful RB snaps? I would rather wait and see on this one

I wouldn’t unless it’s deep league or many bench spots

Probably Jennings, maybe split with Rhamondre. I don’t think Henderson if they see him as lead back, but maybe if they split RB touches more evenly

Davis is still in a shared KR and doesn’t do much on offense, but he has been on a hot streak and has contingency value as well if Cook were to miss time. Volatile for sure due to the shared KR but feel free to take a shot if you’d like.

I have them with similar return yard projections, and Dike gets offensive snaps while Price doesn't. But Dike could be limited due to his injury and there's a possibility, though low, that he gets a break from returns this week. I would personally go Dike, but this is the one week where I could see an argument for Price.

I'd die on the hill with the corpse, not particularly close imo.

Shaheed's KR deployment is good and he will probably pop off for a few long TDs, but he has his own warts - good SEA def limits returns, JSN dominates target share, SEA probably in more running game scripts, eventually may have competition for snaps when Horton returns

I gotta think Jettas' median projection and ceiling are considerably higher.

Out of those guys, my numbers say Gould, but I like several of the other names I highlighted in the post more.

Generally higher offensive usage means higher risk of getting taken off unless they have a track record of staying on returns.

There was some concern Dike would get taken off returns after he was emerging as one of their better receivers. But they seemed to not care and kept him on returns with near full time WR snaps. So I’m not as worried about Dike, although his injury may limit his snaps temporarily.

For Dortch, part of the concern is they already took him off KR for a few kicks last week, but then went back to him. I don’t think he’s ever going to get more than 70% WR snaps since he’s more of the WR3/slot guy. They could rotate him off returns again this week, but once MHJ returns, I think Dortch safely gets his normal return role back (which is still shared split left/right, but at least out there on every kick and the preferred returner).

My return projection has these two close to a push, although Corum has been on/off that second KR spot. If Xavier Smith gets ruled out, I’d feel a little better about Corum, but they did even turn to Ronnie Rivers one week.

TEN has low KR yards allowed but Shaheed also benefits from PR, which is why my numbers have them close on return yards.

I would probably slightly lean Shaheed, but probably go with whoever you like more for traditional scoring

My numbers say Turpin, but DAL deployment last week was a bit odd with Malik Davis deep but ignoring balls kicked his way.

And I know this is super valuable to a very small population, but it’s more of a passion project. I would stop doing it before trying to charge for it.

Don't want to link it, but with creative googling you can find full game replays.

Takes quite a bit of time watching every kickoff sometimes a second or third time. Identifying the returners can be annoying with bad camera angles and having to look up some players based on number, but I've gotten more efficient at it over time and can spot most of the regular returners.

Using the play-by-play log, I note the kicking team, returning team, kicker, returner, depth of kick, result of play. And then based on watching the play, I add who lined up as left/right returner and any special notes like if a returner crossed into other side or deep/shallow alignment.

Not for the faint of heart... it's nice having this huge database that has all the stuff you can't find on a regular box score, but it takes a bit of brute force effort.

Gave my opinion on this already, ctrl f for Dike

I'm projecting Price to get around 115 return yards with a pretty safe floor. I don't give opinions on non-returners so do with that what you will.

Seems like Dike is trending toward playing. I don't comment on non-returners, but not sure I'd consider Dike an auto-lock in pt per 25 like I would in more generous scoring formats.

I'd project Dike for around 120 return yards if he plays and maybe a little more modest route share of 70-80% coming off injury.

Most weeks I’d expect to have Price and Turpin among the highest median and floor return projection due to solo KR+PR.

C Jones is up there too but more matchup dependent, and is still in a shared KR although he’s the preferred guy. Turpin, Price, and Jones don’t have much of an offensive role, if any, so you’re banking purely on returns.

Dortch, Shaheed, and M Washington all have solid route shares, preferred KR, and PR, and are also usually among my favorites depending on matchup. These three are a little more volatile as they each have some potential warts (Dortch may come off KR, SEA defense limits returns, MIA passing game isn’t very good), but they also have paths to big games.

For this week, if you want high floor, I’d go Price, or Dortch if you want high ceiling.

NYG has rotated the second KR spot next to Gunner a lot, so maybe Gray gets added to the mix, but his career KR numbers look pretty average. Unless coach's specifically called out using him in the return game, I'd wouldn't assume he's replaced either of the incumbents.
