There's only one reason why Brandon LaFell is on your league's waiver wire, and that's because he's started the season on the Patriots' PUP list due to a mysterious foot injury.

However, with word that LaFell is expected back at practice as soon as he's eligible this upcoming Monday, and with all indications suggesting he'll be ready to go in Week 7 against the Jets, LaFell needs to be owned in all leagues.

The Patriots wideout should slide right back into his "X" receiver role from last season where LaFell enjoyed a career year. While his efficiency at the position was fairly mediocre last season -- his 0.60 Reception Net Expected Points (NEP) per target ranked him 56th out of 87 receivers with at least 50 targets -- he more than made up for it in volume.

In his first year in New England, LaFell caught 74 of 119 targets for 953 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns.

With a chance to reprise this role for the Patriots as soon as this upcoming week, LaFell should be one of your top targets on the waiver wire this week.
