Ted Ginn (WR, NO) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues

OWNED IN: 52% of Yahoo! leagues

ANALYSIS: Known mainly as an inconsistent deep threat with poor hands, Ginn is turning that narrative around in 2017 with the Saints. He had his best game of the season in Week 7, catching all seven of his season-high seven targets for 141 yards. He's been surprisingly efficient, too, catching all of his targets in each of the past three games and 22 of his 27 targets on the season.

There is still a lot of boom or bust to his game, but he's averaging a robust 16.0 yards per catch and has become more of a reliable and trusted target for Drew Brees with Coby Fleener a non-factor and Willie Snead being eased back in after starting the year on suspension. Ginn is more of an option in standard-scoring leagues, as he hadn't caught more than four passes in a single game before last week, but he shouldn't be ignored any longer.
