Fantasy Football Week 16: Waivers

WR

Michael Crabtree (55%): Last week he found the end zone for the first time this year and has averaged 6 targets a game in the three weeks he’s been back. I think his targets will increase as Crabtree and Kaepernick reestablish their chemistry from last season.

Cordarrelle Patterson (43%): He’s averaging over 7 targets per game since Matt Cassel took over as the Vikings QB and has scored a TD in three straight. Patterson should have had another TD last week but dropped a catchable pass in the end zone. It was the only target he didn’t reel in last week and the Vikings are going to keep getting him the ball the last two weeks of the season.

Jarrett Boykin (49%): He’s been decent the last few weeks, but with Aaron Rodgers probably coming back next week and Randall Cobb still out, Boykin could finish the year with a couple of relevant fantasy lines.

Doug Baldwin (24%): Has surpassed Golden Tate as Russell Wilson’s go-to WR the last six weeks because he can actually catch the ball. He’s not explosive, but he’s reliable, a good route runner, and is averaging over 6 targets per game the last six weeks. Baldwin is a good bet for 10+ fantasy points per game  in PPR leagues.

TE

Delanie Walker (43%): If you take away the week 14 game that Walker got hurt in early, he is averaging 9.5 targets per game over his last four and has a TD is 3 of those games.

Tim Wright (15%): Inconsistent targets over the last four weeks (9,3,4,9), but has TDs in his last two games and lines up at WR more often than TE.
