BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues
ANALYSIS: I listed Moncrief on my deep league sleepers page last week, and also previously in the season. With Reggie Wayne sharply declining, now is the time to pick up his replacement off the waiver wire before you miss out. The Colts have an extremely favorable playoff schedule against the Browns, Texans, and then Cowboys. It’s more than likely that Luck will be throwing over 30 times in each game, and Moncrief is going to be a huge benefactor of that. While Moncrief’s usage is still slightly disappointing at under 50% this past week, it’s great to see the Colts use him as a big play receiver ahead of Hakeem Nicks.
He’s going to be on the WR3 map next week with T.Y. Hilton being shadowed by elite (yet inconsistent) Joe Haden in a game that’s going to be decently high scoring. It also must be noted that Dwayne Allenwill inevitably return to the lineup, but it won’t have too much of an effect on Moncrief other than red zone opportunities, which he hasn’t been a factor in anyways.
