Tyler Kroft (TE, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 45% of Yahoo! Leagues

ANALYSIS: Tyler Kroft has filled in admirably for the Bengals in the absence of regular tight end Tyler Eifert. With Eifert still on the IR, Kroft will continue to get opportunities to shine in the Cincinnati offense. Last week Kroft was able to take advantage of a Denver defense that struggles against opposing tight ends, hauling in his fourth touchdown of the season.

Kroft has been a bit inconsistent this season, making him hard to trust going forward. He had 79 yards in Week 9 against a tough Jacksonville defense, but only has 16 yards in the last two games combined. His floor is very low, making him hard to trust in standard formats. However, he offers upside at a position that has been challenging for fantasy owners all season, and thus is worth a gamble in 14-team leagues and deeper going forward.
