Dan Arnold (TE, JAX) - Fantasy Football Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: I don't know why I keep writing about Dan Arnold weekly, given that none of you fantasy GMs out there seem to be paying attention. I guess I still have some hopes you will one day roster and start Arnold in your league... as this is a bonafide TE1 no matter how you look at him!

Arnold got traded to Jacksonville almost two months ago from Carolina. Yes, he struggled his first time out there playing for the Jags (4.9 PPR points) but after that game, he's had four gems and just one other dud (and the latter happened all the way back in W6, so we're way past that bump on the road). The best thing is that a tight-end gem is just a 10+ PPR point game, of which Arnold has four since Week 5 (this span includes the Jaguars W7 Bye). Other than in that below-5.0 PPR performance (5 targets), Arnold has seen at least 7 targets, caught 4+ passes each time, and always reached 60+ receiving yards.

The lone blemish in Arnold's resume to date is the lack of scores. In fact, it's rather incredible that he hasn't scored a single touchdown all year long as he's racked up 50 targets and amassed 34 catches since Week 1. I refuse to believe Arnold will finish the year without a single score, but the most encouraging thing about rostering/starting/Arnold's upside is the fact that he just isn't needed those extra fantasy points to thrive and play to TE1 levels almost on a weekly basis (top-13 TE in four of the past five games).
