BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately in 12+ team leagues

ANALYSIS: I wrote a sleepers posts on Cody Latimer last week found here, but there have been a significant amount of developments over the last week that now make him a must add in most leagues. With Wes Welker’s suspension, Latimer possibly has just moved into the #4 receiving option in this potent Denver passing game - with the chance of either playing the slot (Welker’s spot), or taking the outside which would shift Sanders into the slot.
The offensive versatility in which the Broncos' coaching staff is considering using Latimer, including specifically designed red zone packages, speaks to the confidence they have in this young rookie. Although Welker’s suspension is only four games, the play of Latimer during this tryout period could seriously make the coaching staff consider their future use of Welker - to keep him healthy via less snaps when he returns, and establish Latimer as a viable weekly option on your fantasy football team for the rest of the season.
