BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 45% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: After a mostly-down start to the season, Eric Ebron is back to his 2018 Colts ways with the Steelers. This Ebron is not that Ebron, obviously, because that Ebron averaged 13.9 PPR points per game and his 2020 version sits at just 8.9, but he's good enough and improving steadily as to considering him a must-add in most leagues, and definitely in deeper formats.
Ebron has scored the 15th-most total PPR points through Week 8 at the tight end position. His average PPG of 8.9 isn't the greatest, sure, but he's one of the most-targeted tight ends (37 targets, only 13 other TEs have that many), and his 1.68 PPR per target rank 10th among tight ends with at least 30+ targets.
Given his usage increase during the last two weeks (13 targets combined) and his efficiency (10 receptions for 98 yards, including a touchdown), Ebron has reached 11 and 14.8 PPR points in Weeks 7 and 8 respectively, against middle-of-the-pack defenses.
The Steelers, in case you haven't heard, are the only undefeated team in the league at 7-0. They have already gone on a bye week, and their schedule looks incredible for tight ends from here to championship week: Pittsburgh will face the 16th, 31st, 28th, 20th, 24th, 30th, and 31st-best defenses against TEs. Virtually all of those teams except Dallas rank in the bottom-third at preventing fantasy points from tight ends. You know what to do.
