Parris Campbell (WR, IND) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

4 years ago by AaronSchill

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED: 22% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: If you watched the Colts game in Week 1, you definitely noticed how involved Parris Campbell was on this offense. He saw nine targets and caught six of them for 71 yards. TY Hilton also saw nine targets, which was tied for the high on this offense. Jack Doyle saw four targets and the rest of the targets really just went to the running backs. Rookie Michael Pittman Jr. caught both of his passes for 10 yards as well.

It's pretty obvious that the Colts have been in desperate need of some playmakers on offense. Hilton will turn 31 in November and he's struggled to stay healthy in the past few seasons. Campbell looked very solid when he was targeted and looks like he'll quickly become a favorite target for Philip Rivers. Rivers is going to throw the ball a lot and it's looking like Campbell will be the next guy on this offense to become a factor for fantasy football purposes.

Campbell was going undrafted in most leagues, as he's rostered in just 22% of leagues. If you're looking for someone with some interesting PPR upside and potential to lead a team in targets, Campbell is your guy. I wouldn't go out of my way to spend a ton of FAB on Campbell just because the wide receiver position is so deep, but he's definitely worth taking a look at.
