Russell Gage (WR, ATL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues

OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage has been a solid PPR performer in three of the past four weeks. He's seen 29 targets over his past four games and is the team's clear No. 2 receiver behind Julio Jones now that Calvin Ridley (abdominal) is out for the season.

Gage has limited upside, given that he's averaging just 8.9 yards per reception on the year and has just one touchdown. He's essentially functioning as a Cole Beasley-like slot receiver for the Falcons, and we've seen how much value Beasley can have in PPR leagues in past years.

Gage is worthy of an add in PPR leagues of 14 or more teams. The Falcons face the Jaguars in Week 16 and Gage will be worthy of starting as a WR3 or flex in deep PPR formats for the week.
