Anquan Boldin (WR, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues

OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: With Marvin Jones dominating and Golden Tate slipping, Anquan Boldin is carving himself a spot as the WR2 to own in Detroit. Tate was benched during the game on Sunday after running the wrong route, leading to a costly interception. Tate played on only 36-of-63 snaps last week, compared to 54-of-63 for Boldin. Boldin even received the most targets on the team in Week 4 with eight on the day. The Lions have been one of the most pass-happy teams to begin the season, so expect plenty of work for these receivers as the year goes on.

The only thing working against Boldin so far is that he has the lowest average depth of target (aDOT) in the entire league, and that didn’t change this Sunday. Boldin caught 6-of-8 targets for 31 yards, with all of his catches coming right around the line of scrimmage. He makes for a good PPR add averaging six targets per game, making a solid bye week fill-in player with the potential for more if he continues to out-snap Tate.
