Baller Move: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues Owned In: 84% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: By averaging only 6.6 yards per-attempt against the Vikings in Week One, Marcus Mariota did not look the part of a franchise NFL QB.

Jordan Howard (RB, CHI) - 2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~175 CURRENT ADP: 186.3 ANALYSIS: Jordan Howard may not have a starting role in Chicago, but the fifth-round rookie out of Indiana also doesn’t have a ton standing in his way either.
