If you have been playing fantasy football long enough, you have probably fallen for the Ladarius Green trap. A tight end gifted with the athleticism of a receiver has failed to consistently meet high expectations over his career.

That being said, he is eligible to come off of the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list this week. According to Pro Football Rumors, Green's return to the field may be very soon.

In a season where the tight end position is a dumpster fire, it really couldn't hurt to pick up Green as a flyer.

Playing in a pass-heavy Steelers offense, Green could easily become a red zone target in an offense with shorter receivers such as Antonio Brown, Eli Rogers, and Markus Wheaton.

Even if Ben Roethlisberger is expected to miss any time with his knee injury, Green will be worth a stash in deeper leagues.
