Niles Paul (TE, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues

ANALYSIS: Guess what? Jordan Reed is injured. Is anyone surprised?! I am guessing not, as earlier this season Reed was dealing with a left hamstring; now his right hamstring is tweaked. While Reed was out Niles Paul filled in nicely. So far Paul has had a career best season with 33 catches , 446 yards (44.6/game) and 1 TD.

Looking at his upcoming schedule Paul has a nice matchup in weeks 13 & 17 with two ok options in between. On the season the Washington TE’s have totaled the 7th most fantasy points combined. This shows that Washington likes to use their TE’s in their offense and with Reed being out expect Paul to get a lot of opportunities. He’s a nice consolation prize if you miss out on Fleener on waivers.
