Ladarius Green (TE, SD) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Green might see his value reduced next week, but I want to make a case here that he's been playing well. We all know that for the last two years the Chargers have been hyping him up, and we're now finally seeing what the results of that are. They have been very positive.

In the two games where Green started and finished he's seen six targets each. He finished one game with five catches for 74 yards and a touchdown, and another with four catches for 53 yards and a touchdown. Those are good numbers. That's an offense trying to get this player involved, and he's been showing up.

It's likely Gates cuts into Green's workload, but don't be so sure that he disappears until he actually does. This team wants Green to become their next tight end, and it's finally looking like he's on track to be that guy. On top of that, the injuries to Stevie Johnson and Malcom Floyd, if lasting, could leave plenty of targets on the field for both Gates and Green to share.
