Geronimo Allison (WR, GB) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 47% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Some way, somehow, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison continues to make his way onto the top waiver wire pickups. I wasn’t very high on him heading into the season because I didn’t think there was enough volume to go around. With Randall Cobb out this past weekend, Allison caught six balls for 80 yards, the most receiving yards for him in a game this season. Allison has solidified himself as the WR2 in this offense.

Since Cobb hauled in nine catches for 142 yards in Week 1, he has eight catches for 52 yards combined since then. Now that he has also missed a week with an injury, his value is falling quickly. Allison is now averaging 7.25 targets per game this season. If Allison is on your waiver wire still, run, don’t walk, and put a claim in for him. I wouldn’t use a top claim, but I would be aggressive because he has more than enough value to help through the bye-weeks that are approaching.
