Josh Reynolds (WR, LAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds had his best game of the season by a longshot in Week 8 against the Bengals, catching three of his eight targets for 73 yards and a touchdown. He was second on the team in targets in the game, trailing only Cooper Kupp, who had 10. Reynolds' previous season-high in targets was two, but with Brandin Cooks (concussion) exiting the game in Week 8, ample opportunities for Reynolds opened up.

Cooks is now in concussion protocol for the second time this year and it's reasonable to expect him to be out multiple weeks. The Rams are on bye in Week 9, then face a few difficult matchups with the Steelers and Bears. However, Reynolds warrants an add in leagues of 12 teams or more for any owners in need of wide receiver help for Week 10 through Week 12. Reynolds and Robert Woods should have comparable value for as long as Cooks is out. Expect Reynolds to average around five or more targets per game while Cooks is out, giving him a good chance to put up some solid yardage and find the end zone again.
