BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 5% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: QB Tua Tagovailoa's start to his career couldn't have been much better with the rookie still to lose a game. With Preston Williams out at the wideout position, Jakeem Grant Sr. stepped up to cover for him this past Sunday and that turned into a game-high in receptions and receiving yards. Grant's upside will stay up with Williams out and even when he comes back (not until Week 13, IR), now that Isaiah Ford is a Patriot.
Grant is a borderline WR3 at best, with the random WR2 game in him. He proved so this past weekend as he finished with 14.3 PPR points as the WR22 pending MNF. He was efficient catching 4 of 5 passes for 43 yards and a score, but that volume isn't overly great and won't cut it for fantasy GMs looking for resounding options to target in their league's waivers.
Jakeem Grant was averaging 8.3 PPR points prior to his Week 10 performance, and that is a much more realistic expectation for him going forward. He might see an uptick in volume given the Miami moves and injuries at the WR position, but the ceiling shouldn't top 15 points.
A good option in very deep leagues as a FLEX start here and there, but nothing more than that. Good for you, needy GMs, Miami faces the 16th, 24th, and 25th-ranked defenses against fantasy WRs next, so Grant might turn into a solid flier in your last WR/FLEX slot.
