6.  Jerricho Cotchery-WR-Pittsburgh Steelers(4.2%)

Jerricho Cotchery has five touchdowns in the last three weeks. He caught the game-icing touchdown from Big Ben this week as the Steelers came back to beat Detroit. He didn’t catch a pass in the first half, but finished the game with three catches for 48 yards and a touchdown.

The Steelers throw the ball enough to make Cotchery worth owning in most leagues even though he is very touchdown dependent. He has been targeted 15 times in the last three weeks and is obviously a good red zone option for the Steelers. He could get even more looks this week depending on the status of Emmanuel Sanders who left the game against Detroit and didn’t return.

In week 12, the Steelers face their arch-rivals the Browns who will do all they can to limit Antonio Brown. I think Cotchery finds the end zone again this week and has a solid game making him a fringe WR3 this week.
