Lance Kendricks (TE, GB) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Bummed about Jimmy Graham’s broken thumb? Look no further for a fantasy replacement than his real replacement. Lance Kendricks is a durable veteran who has never done much for fantasy owners in the touchdown (19 TD in eight seasons) or yardage (one season of over 500 receiving yards) departments, but he now gets the chance to be the No. 1 tight end in an Aaron Rodgers offense.

Just because I have Kendricks listed in the column does not mean I predict he will have a half-dozen receptions for 80 yards and a touchdown this week. Kendricks is not a game changer or a game breaker. But if Heuerman and Smith are not available in your league and you need a tight end whose odds of scoring a touchdown this week just went up, Kendricks is a worthy nominee.
