Pierre Garcon (WR, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR Leagues

OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: The Redskins offense takes a hit whenever Jordan Reed exits the lineup, but they still managed to put up 23 points on the Cardinals on Sunday. Pierre Garcon led all receivers on the day in targets, receptions, and yards, catching 7-of-9 passes for 78 yards. This is the second time in the past three weeks Garcon has led the team in receiving. He has been consistent this season, even though he has lacked the touchdowns to make him a higher scoring option in standard leagues.

Since the team’s Week 9 bye, Garcon leads the team in targets with 30, three more than Jamison Crowder. He is averaging 15.2 fantasy points in PPR leagues since the bye, having only one game with less than six receptions. On one of the most pass-happy teams in the league, expect Garcon’s consistent play to continue. His upcoming schedule sees him face the Eagles and the Panthers, two teams in the top-10 in fantasy points allowed to opposing WR this season. Garcon owners should expect WR3 production moving forward, with WR2 upside if he can find the end zone like he did in Week 11.
