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

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 36% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Ladarius Green has now proven that the injured ankle that forced him to miss the first half of the season is no longer injured. With several 30-yard receptions over the past two weeks, he is easily the most explosive tight end available on most fantasy league waiver wires this week.

Green had his official coming-out party against the New York Giants, hauling in six Ben Roethlisberger BBs for a career-high 110 yards and his first touchdown as a Steeler. He has quickly vaulted past the rest of the receiving corps in Pittsburgh to become Big Ben’s second-best option for passes behind the one and only Antonio Brown.

If Green has something going against him it is that his final four games might be played in cold conditions (at Buffalo, at Cincinnati, two at home in Pittsburgh). But if Mother Nature cooperates and does not make passing the ball impossible, Green is line for a monster month. He is undoubtedly the top tight end on fantasy waiver wires this week.
