Pierre Garcon (WR, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 57% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS:  Pierre Garcon is going to be the only established wide receiver that Kirk Cousins is going to have for a few weeks while DeSean Jackson recovers from a hamstring injury. The strong play of Jordan Reed is notable, but Garçon is owned in just a little over half of Fleaflicker leagues, which means that many of you should see him available in your league. The Redskins will have a rough matchup in Week 2 against a very strong Rams defense, but they are much stronger with their front seven than they are with their secondary. Given the Redskins general skill level, they will be playing from behind more often than not, and needing to move the ball through the air. While Andre Roberts, Ryan Grant, and Rashad Ross are the next guys up to fill into Jackson's role, none of them are going to be able to step into his talent void (if you're in deeper leagues, look at them if you're a Jackson owner who is hurting though). Look for Garçon to be leaned on heavily in the upcoming weeks, as he should provide you with a healthy floor. He gets a bump in PPR leagues as he is more of a possession guy, but an unquestioned #1 receiver should be owned in all leagues.
