Tre'Quan Smith (WR, NO) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR Leagues

OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: With Ted Ginn Jr. on IR, Tre'Quan Smith will come in as the WR2 in this high-powered Saints' offense. Smith was incredible against Washington before New Orleans' BYE, and was fairly effective and against a tough Baltimore team on Sunday. He didn't necessarily deliver big numbers in Week 7, catching three balls for 44 yards, but he was targeted in the end zone early on nearly grabbing a touchdown.

This was a tough road matchup against the Ravens as well, so don't lose faith that Smith could be a valuable flex or WR3 down the road. The Saints will have a primetime showdown with the Vikings next Sunday - a game that could be a shootout. He is well worth an add in shallower leagues and especially in PPR formats. Smith is talented as a deep threat and will be utilized by Brees plenty moving forward. Get him while he's cheap as an important piece of this high-powered offense.
