Niko Goodrum (1B/2B/3B/OF, DET) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 6% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Once again, another week, another surprisingly good piece of work for Detroit Tigers utility player Niko Goodrum. A .250/.350/.500 line with his seventh home run of 2018 is pretty solid for 20 plate appearances. The guy is just producing.

Goodrum is not winning you any weeks or championships by himself, but this guy can put in work in limited at-bats and is a perfect off day or injury fill-in. He strikes out a bit too much, and has been pressing lately, but he gives you surprising speed and gets extra bases off of the good contact he makes.

If you are in a league that tracks total bases or gives extra points for extra bases, Niko is an option whose floor is looking much higher than was previously expected. At this point, there are multiple players that would lose playing time in Detroit before anyone considers taking the 26-year-old out of the lineup.
