Tim Patrick (WR, DEN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues

ROSTERED: 17% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Tim Patrick had a stellar performance in his last game. In Week 4 against the Jets, Patrick tallied six receptions, 113 yards, and a touchdown. With teammate Courtland Sutton on injured reserve, Patrick stepped up and delivered. His 21 targets through four games are enough volume to be fantasy-relevant, and he has been effective on those targets. His production premium, a measure of efficiency, ranks 15th among wideouts.

Other reasons for optimism exist as well. Patrick has had seven deep targets, which was the eighth-highest total for all receivers through Week 4. He has scored 2.33 fantasy points per target, which ranks 23rd at his position. His counting stats are fairly impressive as well; he has scored the 35th-most fantasy points per game with 12.2. Patrick has played like a WR3 so far, and yet he is available in the vast majority of leagues.

Patrick's last game (23.3 PPR points) proved that he is capable of standout showings. His previous game was solid as well, as he turned four receptions into 43 yards and a touchdown. Those two games were both after Sutton's injury, so it's clear that he is beginning to step up. Five to seven targets per game will make Patrick one of the top options on the waiver wire.

Don't expect Patrick to put up 100 yards each week, but he will score enough points to merit a roster spot, especially in deeper leagues. It's not far-fetched to expect him to be a FLEX option going forward, and that sort of production should be rostered. Once Broncos quarterback Drew Lock returns from injury, Patrick's numbers could benefit even further, so you should board his hype train now.
