Brandon LaFell (WR, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues

Owned in 14% of Fleaflicker leagues

ANALYSIS: LaFell is another guy that I mostly dismissed after his first strong game of the fantasy football season. That was justified when he followed it up with just 20 yards against the Bengals when Tom Brady was great, but in Week 6 they were both at their best at the same time. Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman are still the top targets in this offense, but when Tom Brady is rolling like he is right now, there is plenty of room for three or even four receivers to put up decent numbers. After Edelman and LaFell, no other WR had more than two targets on Sunday, so you should feel safe that LaFell is the next guy in line to be fed by Mr. Brady. The Jets have a strong defensive front, but a very shaky secondary. And for a streaking Brady, that shouldn't be much of an issue. He may not be a consistent wide receiver every week, but if you're hurting at the position or are looking to add some depth for bye weeks, feel free to grab LaFell off the Week 7 waiver wire.
