BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Even though Rhamondre Stevenson continues to function as New England's lead back, that should not deter you from considering Ezekiel Elliott among this week’s waiver wire options. His role has been more consistent than multiple backs who are contained on a larger percentage of rosters, and he has performed proficiently with his opportunities.
Elliott’s snap shares have ranged between 33%-46% since Week 4, including three games of 40%. He has also carried 95 times (8.6 per game), including 9+ during three of his last five contests. Elliott has also generated 377 rushing yards (34.3 per game) while running 114 routes and collecting 20 of his 26 targets.
That includes his numbers in Week 12 when Elliott accumulated 15 snaps, nine rushing attempts, and 46 yards (5.1 yards per attempt). He also ran five routes and collected both of his targets.
Elliott somehow remains available in 60% of all leagues, even though he is a viable RB3/flex option for fantasy managers. He should be included in this week’s waiver wire priorities. Particularly if you are contending with significant roster challenges during your Week 13 matchups.
