BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Richardson was welcomed back as the Colts starting quarterback after Joe Flacco blew his opportunity.

We had some mixed results in this space last week. Aaron Jones and Darnell Mooney were a couple of our boom picks. Both had solid games, but neither one was likely the reason you won your match.
