Desperate start

Xavier Hutchinson is a deep-league flex at best this week. His projected line: 6 targets, 3 receptions and 39 receiving yards. One touchdown less and the week for Hutchinson looks very different. Points have jumped around: 3, then 12, then 12 points. There is no shift to report: Hutchinson had 5 touches last week, 7 before. A good fit for the flex spot this week.
