Larry Fitzgerald (WR, ARI) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED: 10% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Larry Fitzgerald is at a point in his infinite career where I don't think nobody would mistake him for what he is not, at least no more. Fitz was a league winner back in the day, but he's just a role player (and model) in Arizona's current iteration, making him only a borderline viable fantasy asset worth rostering exclusively in deep formats.

The legend of Fitz keeps growing, though. Just this past TNF, Fitzgerald his season-high fantasy score with 14.2 PPR points against Seattle. He caught 8 of 10 targets (both season-high marks too) and racked up 62 yards through the air (another season-high!). While Fitzgerald is far from a relevant fantasy player these days (he's the WR64 on the season), he's still rosterable in most deep leagues if only because he keeps seeing interesting amounts of volume.

Fitz has been targeted at least 5 times in seven of his 10 games this season, has played 80% of Arizona's offensive snaps, and is the second most-used receiver by the Falcons and QB Kyler Murray. Makes sense, consider his leadership and his 15+ years as a pro, making him a true safety valve for the second-year quarterback.

If you happen to play in a deep-to-very-deep league, Fitz could very well be a weekly WR3/FLEX play where options are scarce. Fitzgerald's floor is relatively high at around 7 PPR points and his ceiling could reach the 15 PPR points, with upside to reaching the 20s if he can finally get into the end zone and score his first TD of the season.
