Fantasy Football Waiver Wire 2013: Top 10 Week 11 pickups
5. Jarrett Boykin-WR-Green Bay Packers (43.9%)
After being a hot pickup, Boykin was the most often dropped player this last week as owners left him stranded due to an injury to Aaron Rodgers. Seneca Wallace who replaced Rodgers only lasted five passes before leaving due to his own injury leaving Scott Tolzien under center for Green Bay. It appeared that Boykin’s value was extremely short-lived, but the second-year receiver showed his resilience on Sunday against the Eagles.
Boykin led the team in targets, catches, and yards finishing with 112 yards on eight catches although he wasn’t able to get into the end zone. Tolzien was forced to throw the ball 39 times and 13 of those throws went Boykin’s way. He still have value since he’s still functioning as the team’s #1 WR.
This week, he and the Pack head to New York to face the Giants inconsistent secondary that has allowed plenty of passing yards at times this season. If another owner jumped ship too early on Boykin, swoop in and grab him since he remains fantasy relevant for as long as Randall Cobb is out no matter who is under center.
