BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5
ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers carried the ball 13 times in his team's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10. This doesn't mean that workload will continue moving forward, though. It was a favorable matchup, and lead back Aaron Jones (ribs) ran the ball 17 times despite missing around a quarter of play.

Jones is the undisputed workhorse back of this team, and though he's been injury prone, when he's healthy, he'll handle the vast majority of the work. He carried the ball 40 times in his two previous games. Had he not missed time, Akers probably would have hardly seen any play.
Despite the trade, the former Houston Texan is simply a backup, and should be treated as a handcuff for fantasy purposes. It appears he's snagged the RB2 job away from Ty Chandler, so fantasy managers who have Chandler can safely drop him for the new second-string man. But there's no reason to start Akers -- Jones is healthy and ready to go for Week 11.

Mack Hollins (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11
BALLER MOVE: Don't Add ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's still not a good idea to use a waiver claim or even a bench spot on Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins. He caught all four of his targets for 86 yards last week, but that performance was the exception rather than the rule […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: DeMario Douglas once again led all Patriots wide receivers in receiving yards this past Sunday.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Legette is coming off a bit of a disappointing game Sunday against the New York Giants.
