Jesse James (TE, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 30% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Jesse James may have caught two touchdown passes in his first four games this season, but he was not doing any fantasy favors for anybody when it came to yardage.  He only amassed 85 yards over the first month of play, and his longest catch went for a staggeringly-low 11 yards.

James had his best game of the season this past weekend when he hauled in six passes for 43 yards and a touchdown on eight targets against the New York Jets.  He has replaced long-time tight end Heath Miller perfectly in Pittsburgh’s offense and has shown that he can become a reliable target for Ben Roethlisberger in the red zone. If he can catch more passes between the 20s then he can really be a fantasy force.

When Roethlisberger and the Steelers are heaving up 40 passes, James will have big fantasy days.  That is not going to happen every week, but with the firepower the Steelers have it will happen more than with most teams.  Antonio Brown can't catch every pass, so James will get his fair share of the leftovers.
