Fantasy football 2018: Top 10 waiver wire Week 2 pickups
By Rob Wilson
Primary Add: John Brown – 21.6% Ownership
John Brown has never been a disappointment when he’s on the field. Unfortunately that’s been a big “if” in his career. He suffers from a sickle cell disease that has kept him out of a lot of games in the past few seasons. He looks as healthy as ever and landed on a Ravens team that has quite a few open targets available.
All the reports from camp indicated that he had something going with Flacco, and that was all but confirmed on Sunday. The Ravens blew out the Bills and had no reason to throw after the first quarter, so Brown likely saw the smallest workload he will all season and that’s a good thing. He might be a decently big name this week in PPR formats, but he likely won’t be a league winner.
Recommended bid: 15%
Primary: Geronimo Allison – 9% Ownership
I don’t need to say much about Allison that you don’t already know from watching that epic comeback on Sunday night. He’s one of Rodgers’ starting pass catchers, and that alone is worth a roster spot. He caught a long touchdown and saw a very healthy target load. There will be plenty of mouths to feed in Green Bay but if anyone can bring home all that bacon, it’s Rodgers.
