NFL running back Tarik Cohen is a Week 2 fantasy football waiver wire pickup and add. Target him as a free agent RB off waivers, especially in PPR leagues.
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

ANALYSIS: Could the rookie from tiny North Carolina A&T become this year's RB version of Tyreek Hill? Cohen was initially thought to be just a return man, but he's shown great elusiveness as a runner and put his 4.42 speed on display throughout the preseason.
He did just that in his NFL debut against the Falcons in Week 1, putting up 113 total yards, including 66 rushing yards on just five attempts and a long of 46. He's shown great hands and breakaway ability, which means it won't take a big workload to produce a fantasy-relevant game on any given week.
Jordan Howard isn't in danger of losing his job, but the team already ditched Jeremy Langford and Benny Cunningham was nowhere to be seen in Week 1. His value will be much higher in PPR than standard, as his points from receptions will likely outweigh his touchdown total.
