BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues
OWNED IN: 5% of Yahoo! Leagues
ANALYSIS: All pre-season it looked like one of Tyler Boyd or rookie John Ross would take over as the No. 2 receiver in Cincinnati behind superstar A.J. Green. In fact, many thought Brandon Lafell was a cut candidate if he found himself fourth or lower on the depth chart. However, due to injuries and ineffectiveness, Lafell has found himself as the clear-cut No. 2 option for the Bengals. He has rewarded them with solid, albeit unspectacular, production.
Lafell has had four or more catches in five games this season and has seen nearly as many targets as A.J. Green over the last four games. He only has two touchdowns on the season, but his 34 receptions and 340 yards make him worth adding in deeper PPR formats. He is unlikely to post huge numbers, but he has a safe floor in PPR formats and should continue to produce. Grab him if you can in PPR leagues.
