Ladarius Green (TE, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 36% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: It appears we may have finally reached the point of no return with Ladarius Green’s usage, as he had shown flashes in previous weeks when he was utilized, but still hadn’t been in on more than 26% of Pittsburgh’s snaps. That changed in Week 13 against the Giants, as he caught six of his 11 targets for an impressive 110 yards and a score. 17 standard points and 23 PPR points is a nice little welcome wagon. The Giants are a plus matchup for tight ends, but there’s no doubting that Green could become a huge weapon in this powerful Pittsburgh offense. There won’t always be enough to go around for everyone, but Green can now be considered a TE1 threat against Buffalo and Cincinnati in Weeks 14 and 15. Even Baltimore’s strong defense may not be able to throw him off much in Week 16.
