BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5
ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford is a low-upside handcuff now that his team's lead back, Nick Chubb, has returned. Chubb is handling the majority of the workload, and there hasn't been much left over for Ford from what we've seen. He had just three touches in Week 9.
Nick Chubb
I know Nick Chubb hasn’t done much thus far, but that could change against a very bad Saints defense. The Saints rank No. 27 in rushing yards allowed per game and have given up multiple TDs to RBs over the past two weeks (Bijan - 2, Chuba Hubbard - 2), and at least…

It's not a big surprise that No. 24 is back to leading the backfield. He's one of the best running backs to play the game in the last decade, and he was elite before his injury. If he can return to even 80% of what he was, he should be the workhorse of the Browns offense.
Ford saw 49% of the snaps in Week 9, so it's not as if he's not on the field. But his lack of involvement in the passing game (just three targets) is concerning. He saw two games of seven targets before Chubb came back, but that's less likely to repeat itself, since he played 75% and 78% of the snaps in those contests.
He's a decent player to have handcuffed to the lead back, but doesn't have any standalone value and shouldn't be started.

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 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The waiver period has passed, but Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards is still only rostered in 20% of Sleeper leagues. He actually led the team in rushing in Week 10, carrying the ball 10 times for 55 yards. He averaged […]

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. New England has been maddeningly inconsistent with their wide receiver usage. However, the one constant has been Douglas. He looks like the team’s best pass catcher […]
Xavier Legette (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11
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. Carolina quarterback Bryce Young has played much better in his two-game return as the starter. This gives some hope for the Carolina passing game with […]
Audric Estime (RB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For weeks it has been speculated that Estime would get more touches in Denver’s offense. That finally came to fruition this past Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs as Estime carried the football 14 times for 53 yards. #broncos rookie RB Audric […]
