There’s one name I’d like to add to this week’s Waiver Wire Watch: Tennessee WR Justin Gage. He’s available in 74% of ESPN leagues and is an interesting pickup this week, especially in PPR leagues.
Kerry Collins threw 13 or more passes in three games last season – Week 6, Week 7 and Week 17.
In those games, Justin Gage went for 4-82, 5-48 and 7-104, for an average of 5.3 receptions for 78 yards. In the other 13 games (with Vince Young under center), Gage averaged 3.0 receptions for 40 yards and 0.2 TD. Clearly, Gage is more effective with a traditional pocket quarterback throwing to him (as most WRs would be).
He’s worth rostering in most PPR leagues and 12-team traditional leagues. Moreover, he has a very nice matchup against a suspect Bengals secondary this week. If you’re looking for WR help, you could do much worse.
