Donte Moncrief (WR, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues

OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: With veteran wide receiver Reggie Wayne being hampered by age and lingering injuries this year, Moncrief has shown flashes of talent when given the opportunity. The most recent news on Wayne is that he is suffering from a torn triceps but will continue to play through the injury. You have to admire this 36 year old’s toughness despite him basically being relegated to a decoy at this point in his career. That being said, Indianapolis faces a Texans team that is giving up the second most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this week. The obvious presumption is that when you consider the way Andrew Luck likes to spread the ball around, some receiver not-named T.Y. Hilton will get some looks. That’s where Moncrief steps in as a deep-league play. Moncrief has two big games on the year with 113 and 134 yards but he also has multiple duds as well. He’s boom or bust, as with most deeper league plays.
