Eric Ebron (TE, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 55% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Look who we have here! Nice of you to join us, Mr. Eric Ebron! The third-year tight end was dropped in many fantasy leagues after missing three weeks due to another injury, but he is back on the fantasy map after catching seven passes for 79 yards against Houston’s second-ranked pass defense this past weekend.

Detroit’s pass-catching corps changes roles quicker than Eddie Murphy did in The Nutty Professor movies.  Marvin Jones was Matthew Stafford’s go-to guy for a couple weeks, then Golden Tate got out of the doghouse and became Stafford’s top target once again.  Now Ebron has returned and could be Stafford’s main man if he can stay on the field.

Ebron does not have an easy matchup this Sunday as he has to run routes against a Minnesota Vikings defense that swallows up space in the secondary.  He did have success against the Vikes last year, however, scoring touchdowns in both of his games against them.  Ebron is the top tight end on fantasy free agent lists this week.
