Chris Thompson (RB, JAX) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

Joshua Kelley (RB, LAC) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's hard to believe the Bolts spent a third-round pick on a running back so he could sit behind Justin Jackson. Kelley will have to battle Jackson for the job but he has the goods to do so. He also won't usurp Austin […]
