Sam Bradford (QB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues

OWNED IN: 16% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Sam Bradford has surprisingly had a resurgent 2016, completing 67.5% of his passes for 1,214 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception. What's even more impressive is that he's done it against a few defenses ranking near the top of league, including those of Houston and Philadelphia. In Week 9, things finally start to ease up for Bradford when the Vikings draw the Lions in Minnesota.

While other teams have surrendered more yards through the air than Detroit, the Lions have the distinction of allowing the most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks with an average of 23.74 points per week. Brock Osweiler didn’t get the job done against them in Week 8, but Osweiler has had a tough job getting it done against anyone. Prior to that gift, the Lions allowed Case Keenum and Kirk Cousins to toss 321 and 301 yards, respectively (with a rushing score to each of them, as well). In a season that has seen Bradford operate with extreme efficiency, Detroit’s defense is primed to be picked apart by the first overall pick from the 2010 NFL Draft.
