Danny Amendola (WR, MIA) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 31% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: DeVante Parker was absent in Week 1, so someone needed to be the WR2 behind Kenny Stills who went for 106 yards on four receptions and two touchdowns. Even though Stills had the big day, Danny Amendola had the second most targets and receptions on the team. Unfortunately, his longest reception was only eight yards. Amendola isn’t going to reach WR2 or WR3 but he is going to be a nice play in PPR leagues if he stays healthy.

I actually expect things to open up more for Amendola once Parker is healthy. Even though I am not a Parker fan, he will command more respect on the outside than Jakeem Grant or Albert Wilson. With Parker and Stills on the outside, Amendola will have much more room to roam in the middle of the field leading to larger gains and thus, more fantasy production. If you have injuries or didn’t draft the position well, Amendola is a nice stash in PPR leagues.
