Falcons wide receiver (WR) Christian Blake is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup to target as a free agent addition for Week 9 of the 2020 NFL season.

ANALYSIS: It is hard to trust the Falcons as a whole, let alone their ninth most-targeted player (or should I say the seventh least-targeted?) and no. 5 wideout. But here we are. If you happen to play in a super-deep fantasy league, you might find some value in Blake ROS, although that is entirely attached to the health of Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, and Russell Gage.
This past Thursday, against Carolina, it was Ridley who had to leave the game earlier due to injury. That opened a path for Blake to get more looks and log more snaps. It was the first time this season Blake was on the field for more than 18 snaps and over 50% of them (54%) on a single game. He didn't log his season-high in targets, though, with just two of them, but he hauled in both for 14 yards on the day.
Christian Blake is absolutely fantasy irrelevant as things stand. He will need for any of the Falcons top receivers to get injured to get his chance, and even then he'll need to face competition in other low-profile receivers such as Olamidie Zaccheaus and Brandon Powell. Even then, though, and if you're super needy and part of a 20-team league, you can always add Blake as the greatest of "what-if" fliers.
