Chris Hogan (WR, NE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 45% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Well, it didn’t take long for the Tom Brady-to-Chris Hogan connection to develop. Hogan caught 4-of-5 targets for 114 yards as the Patriots dominated the Browns on Sunday. We were unsure how the return of Brady would affect all of the Patriots WRs, but if things stay like this game moving forward it looks like Hogan will have a prominent role in this offense over Danny Amendola. He logged the second most snaps (61%) of any Patriots WR behind Julian Edelman (74%), while Amendola came in at third (26%).

The offense has a ton of other weapons, so don’t count on production like this on a week-to-week basis from Hogan. However, if you’re looking for someone to fill a bye week void Hogan would be the perfect target. He suffered a head injury and had to be taken off the field twice, but he was able to return to the field each time and remain in the game.
