Mike Boone is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 6 of the 2022 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 39% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Mike Boone is not a candidate to ascend into lead back responsibilities, and the 27-year-old back will be functioning within a backfield rotation for the Broncos.
However, that will not preclude Boone from seizing a respectable workload, as he operates with a level of burst that is needed in Denver’s reshaped backfield. That will keep him involved as a rusher and pass-catcher, and his usage could also expand even further if Melvin Gordon’s penchant for fumbling remains intact.
Boone secured a 41% snap share in Week 5 during the team’s first matchup without Javonte Williams (torn ACL), which was his highest share since 2019. He also averaged 5.4 per attempt and accrued 86 total yards during the contest. Boone will share touches during Denver’s Monday Night matchup with the Chargers, but he should garner a sufficient percentage of opportunities to solidify his status as a viable roster addition.
Boone remains available in 61% of all leagues and can be utilized as a flex by anyone who is building rosters in a PPR format.
