BALLER MOVE: Stash in 12+ Team Leagues
Owned in 32% of Fleaflickes leagues
ANALYSIS: Isaiah Crowell, the man I’ve previously referred to as Scarecrow, is moving up in the world. He ran 11 times Sunday for 77 yards and a touchdown. That’s a very tidy 7.0 yards per carry. And that’s not the only exciting news for Crowell, because while Ben Tate was out, Crowell took first-team reps over Terrance West. In fact, with West a healthy inactive on Sunday, it has become clear who the true RB2 is in the Browns backfield.
That’s not a bad gig, considering Ben Tate’s injury history. The undrafted 5’11” 224-lb. back is one Tate injury away from being the lead man. Maybe Scarecrow can just use hypnosis to trick Tate into thinking he’d prefer fishing to playing football. Don’t get too far ahead of yourselves here though. Tate and Crowell have very similar body types, and Tate is the more athletic back when he can remain healthy. That said, Crowell is well worth owning in any league that is 12 teams or deeper, so feel free to stash him off the Week 7 waiver wire if you're looking to add some more running back depth to your team.
