Boston Scott (RB, PHI) - Fantasy Football Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: For the number of times Boston Scott is out there at the time of the snap--not many--it's rather impressive how productive the tailback has been all season long. That shouldn't change in the last week of the year, and although Scott comes with some risks baked into his upside, the truth is that he is coming off his best game of the year and even the slightest uptick in opportunities could be massive in turning Scott into a bona fide league-winning player.

All of what I said in the paragraph above is related to Scott's snap share marks throughout the season: never above 52% or, on a counting basis, more than 34 individual snaps played in any of his 10 games. That said, Scott has somehow racked up double-digit fantasy points in six of those 10 matches (he finished with 9.9 in W7, but I mean...) in PPR leagues. He's carried the ball 12 and 14 times in the past two weeks of play, rushed for 41 and 47, and also scored on both games (1 TD in W16 and then 2 TDs this past weekend).

Scott's 24.6 PPR points in W17 were by far the most he's scored this season in a single game (he had a prior season-high with 18 FP back on W8) and although it's going to be hard for him to hit pay dirt twice next week, odds are he keeps up his incredible per-snap production: Scott is one of only 11 players this season putting up 0.45 PPR points per snap with 200+ and the only one doing so on a snap share below 41%.
