Sammie Coates (WR, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues

Owned In: 33% of Fleaflicker Leauges

Analysis: Markus Wheaton returned to the Steelers on Sunday, and didn’t make the impact many thought he would. With the emergence of Eli Rogers and Sammie Coates, Wheaton has seen his role limited. Coates is still the biggest deep threat on the roster; he only has seven receptions so far, but four of them have gone for at least 40 yards (averaging 29 yards per catch so far). The big plays will keep coming for Coates while Rogers and Wheaton cover the short-to-intermediate routes. Coates would have more value in standard leagues compared to PPR, since he doesn’t catch many passes. However, as long as Big Ben Roethlisberger keeps looking his way deep he will have value.
