BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12-Team Leagues

ANALYSIS: Don’t look now, but Jermaine Gresham has been finding the end zone as often as the top tight ends in the NFL lately. After going scoreless in his first nine games of the season (and not even recording a catch in three of them), the wily veteran has put together his best three-game stretch since the 2014 campaign.
Gresham did not get into the end zone this past Sunday after scoring in back-to-back games, but he did post a season-high 52 yards against Washington. Carson Palmer and Arizona’s offense is finally including Gresham after seemingly shunning him for his first year and a half with the team. Gresham has also benefitted from the injuries and inconsistency of Cardinals receivers not named Larry Fitzgerald. This has translated into more targets for Gresham.
Gresham will not break any 40-yard plays, nor will he rack up 10 receptions or 100 yards in any game the rest of the way. But now that Palmer and his top tight end are clicking, and with a mouth-watering matchup against New Orleans in two weeks when fantasy leagues will be thick into their playoffs, Gresham is a guy to think about picking up.
