Week 3 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Last week in this running backs waiver wire column I recommended some players to consider adding to your teams, and here's how they performed in Week 2: Justin Forsett (11.2 PPR points), Chris Ivory (11.6 PPR points), James Starks (0.00 points), and Mark Ingram (19.4 PPR points).

Carl Crawford (OF, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Carl Crawford is not the player he once was in Tampa.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / All 2QB Leagues Owned in 43% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Locker is a guy I have liked since he came out of college as the Titans 1st round pick in 2011. His first couple of years he didn't really do anything. He was the only one of the four first round […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues Owned in 73% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Although Darren McFadden is already owned in a lot of fantasy leagues, he should pretty much be owned in all of them at this point.
