Chris Herndon (TE, NYJ) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 55% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Herndon has been catching on lately as a sleeper in the fantasy community, partly due to the injuries across the Jets' WR corps. Also, he's a great athlete at tight end and could finally fulfill the promise of a year ago before suspension and injury cost him essentially all of 2019. As much as I don't trust Adam Gase's offense, he praised Herndon quite a bit upon first arriving in Gotham and the team still has big plans for him. They'll have no choice at this point.

You may be thinking, "Didn't the Jets target the tight end just 11.6% of the time last year at the third-lowest rate in the NFL?" True, but that's largely because they were without Herndon and had precious little depth behind Ryan Griffin. Even though Griffin is a veteran and caught a career-high five touchdown passes last season, Herndon is the more talented pass catcher of the two.

The Jets have one of the worst receiving corps in the NFL heading into the upcoming season. Herndon could be one of Darnold’s top two targets if no other Jets WR steps up other than Jamison Crowder. This team may be losing quite a bit and have no choice but to air it out and again, Herndon might wind up being the best target Sam Darnold has outside of Jamison yawn Crowder.

Take a flyer on Herndon if your tight end troops are mediocre. Just do not use him Week 1 against Buffalo’s stingy pass defense.
