Ladarius Green, Pittsburgh Steelers

Owned in 7.8% of ESPN Leagues

If you're in need of a dart-throw in deeper leagues, Ladarius Green is your man. Green was in for just 12 snaps in last week's return to the field, but he was utilized heavily when he was allowed to play. He was targeted four times in his 12 snaps, which he turned into three catches for 30 yards. Green was also targeted on a two-point conversion.

It would make sense for Green to continue to be eased into the offense, but his role also seems primed to continue to improve. He gets the best matchup available to a tight end this week as the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Cleveland Browns, who rank second-to-last in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play and have allowed the most fantasy points (standard scoring) to opposing tight ends this season.

The Steelers are projected for 28 points against Cleveland, which is the second-highest implied team total this week. Green certainly has the chance to bust in this matchup, but he has enough touchdown potential to be worth a shot in deeper leagues.
