Keelan Cole (WR, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver (WR) Keelan Cole is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup to target as a free agent addition for Week 11 of the 2019 NFL season.

ANALYSIS: The Jaguars have lost two receivers in Dede Westbrook and Marqise Lee, both of whom could be out for an extended period of time. though Westbrook has a chance to return in Week 11. Keelan Cole logged his season-high in targets (six) in Week 9 and put on his best performance of the season so far. With only two other receivers (Chris Conley and D.J. Chark) potentially getting reps in Jacksonville’s attack, Cole pencils in as one of the best low-profile candidates to add through waivers and hold for the rest of the season.

In his last game, Cole hauled in five receptions for 80 yards and just lacked the score. He finished with an average of 13.3 yards per target and a massive 16 yards per catch, all of that playing for Gardner Minshew. Now that Nick Foles is back (and although Minshew has not been bad by any means) Cole’s upside should be bumped up even more. Cole has been poorly used in 2019 with only six targets in his first eight games this year. Even with that, he was able to put two touchdowns in his record book, making him a really efficient receiver.

Entering Week 11 Jacksonville faces Indianapolis, which just lost to the Dolphins and ranks 11th in points allowed to opposing WRs. Cole has shown he’s capable of producing if given the opportunity and even when he was used in really limited occasions he made the most out of his chances by hanging a couple of touchdowns on his opponents. With a depleted Jaguars attack and Foles back, Cole is a great addition in deeper leagues if only because he’ll get opportunities and targets on a weekly basis.
