Donte Moncrief (WR, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS:  Donte Moncrief was the main beneficiary of T.Y. Hilton leaving Sunday's game in Buffalo. It was revealed after the game that Hilton avoided anything terribly serious with his knee, and that it is just a bad bruise that should still sideline him for a few weeks. Andre Johnson didn't look particularly effective, and Moncrief ended up getting six catches on eleven targets to Johnson's four receptions on ten targets. Moncrief has been a buzzy player before, and it was speculated during the preseason that he was starting to lose his grip on the WR3 gig in Indy to Phillip Dorsett, but clearly he is the guy who is stepping up in Hilton's absence.

Moncrief has big playmaking shoes to fill with Hilton's role, but he showed that he has the skills to look the part, so now the opportunity is his moving forward while Hilton is out. The Colts play the Jets, Titans, and Jaguars in the next three weeks, so his odds of putting up points are pretty darn good. Add Moncrief if you lost a receiver this weekend, or just want to get a solid receiver who should be able to contribute as a potential WR3 in 12 team leagues.
