Crockett Gillmore, whose name sounds much more like a charter ship captain's than an NFL tight end's, is worth an add on waivers this week because of his expanded role in the Ravens' offense since Steve Smith with down with an Achilles injury. Gillmore has actually been sneaky good when given his chances this season; of the 28 tight ends targeted at least 30 times through Week 10, Gillmore's 0.86 Reception NEP per target ranked fourth.

In the past three weeks, Gillmore has visited the end zone twice and logged a 100 yard game through the air, so it's not crazy to expect his role to continue. And in the next two weeks, the Ravens get to face the 24th- and 25th-ranked Browns and Dolphins' pass defenses, respectively, so Gillmore could provide some real value for your squad, particularly if you live the streaming life at the tight end position. Grab Gillmore for the soft schedule he and the Ravens face over the next couple of weeks and reap the benefits of his new role.
