Richie James is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for wide receivers. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 17 of the 2022 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: No pass-catcher on the New York Giants rosters has done more than Richie James in the last six weeks of play. That's reason enough to roster James in all leagues and start him in pretty much every one of them, let alone those with deeper structures.
James didn't play in back-to-back W9-W10 but he's been extraordinary since returning to the field back in Week 11. It's been six games, and he's scored at least 13.8 PPR in four of them with scores of 5.0 and 8.2 in the other two. Just in the past three weeks alone, he's scored a total of 44.3 PPR points for an average of 14.8 FPPG.
This past Saturday, playing at Minnesota, Richie James had his second-best game of the year to the tune of a massive 8-of-12 receiving game in which he racked up 90 yards. All of those marks were season highs and he only lacked scoring a touchdown (he has three on the season) against the Vikings to have his best game ever.
James has made the top-24 at the position in four of his last six games and although the other two outings lacked punch (5.0 and 8.2 PPR points) the truth is that he still was automatic at catching passes in them going 3-for-3 and 4-of-5 on the receiving end.
If you need someone to slot in your WR3/Flex through the next to weeks or an above-average DFS flier, James can give you plenty of goodies if things click for him and the Giants offense once more as it's been the case more often than not in the past couple of months.

Every fantasy manager on the planet absolutely loves the tight end position. Well, not really. It would be nice if teams would throw to their tight ends more, but that might not happen any time soon.

Still, having one of the better […]
