Dontrelle Inman (WR, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues

OWNED IN: 1% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Dontrelle Inman's name might bring up a lot of questions like "who is that?" - but rest assured, this is a player with some fantasy relevance. Inman was picked up by the Chargers from the CFL where he played two seasons that accumulated some not-so-impressive numbers. Still, the Chargers really liked what they saw out of him and signed him onto the team last year.

Speaking of last year, in the two games Inman got the opportunity to start in place of Keenan Allen in 2014, he put up stat lines of 7 catches for 79 yards and 5 catches for 79 yards in back-to-back weeks. Coming in this week for an injured Malcom Floyd (concussion) and Stevie Johnson (hamstring), Inman had 3 catches for 88 yards including a big 68 yard reception. If either of Johnson or Floyd are going to miss time, Inman becomes part of the immediate lineup - and as we all know, Rivers has no fear of spreading the ball around giving Inman a lot of potential FLEX value.

On top of all that, the Chargers face the Steelers next week who are currently one of the worst passing defenses in the NFL. That leaves a lot of room for the Chargers offense to operate, and Inman could be a big beneficiary of that if either of the two WRs ahead of him miss time.
