Vance McDonald (TE, PIT) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 42% of Leagues

ANALYSIS:  The most valuable tight end fantasy-wise on the Steelers changes back and forth more often than my wife changes the décor in our living room. Right now it seems that Vance McDonald has an edge on Jesse James after his second straight solid outing. After racking up 112 yards and a touchdown in Week 3, he followed that performance with five receptions for 62 yards against division rival Baltimore.

McDonald finds the end zone about as often as Leonardo DiCaprio finds the friend zone. He has nine touchdowns in five-plus seasons. What McDonald brings to the table is above-average speed for a tight end, and he plays in big-play offense where he can eat up large chunks of yards on his receptions. He is the best available tight end on waiver wires this week in many if not most leagues.
