TJ Jones (WR, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues

OWNED IN: 2% of Yahoo! Leagues

ANALYSIS: TJ Jones has seen his usage as the Lions No. 3 receiving option on the rise over his last few games. Jones has been targeted nine and eight times over his last two games after not seeing more than five targets in his previous six games. Jones was able to turn his eight targets in Week 8 into four catches and a career high 88 yards receiving, 64 of which came in the first half. While many may attribute this to the injury that has kept dynamic rookie Kenny Golladay sidelined for the last few weeks, Jones had already passed Golladay on the depth chart.

While Jones still has to compete for catches with Golden Tate and Marvin Jones, not to mention tight end Eric Ebron and backs Ameer Abdullah and Theo Riddick, he is worth the add in deeper PPR leagues based on his increasing target totals. If he is able to turn in more games like he did against the Steelers in Week 8, he will start to get more attention in the passing game which will keep his value on the up and up for the second half of the season.
