Jordan Wilkins (RB, IND) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

ANALYSIS: This is not about who had a better game this past Sunday among Colts' running backs, but rather how Indianapolis is using them and how things could develop further down the road.

Last week marked a turning point in the Jordan Wilkins-Jonathan Taylor battle for touches, with the former out-snapping the latter 39 to 26, and that happened once more this week with Wilkins getting 23 snaps to Taylor's 21. More worrying for rookie Taylor, though, is the fact that Wilkins has carried the ball 31 times in the past to weeks to Taylor's 17 combined rushes, almost half those of Wilkins.

Wilkins had not done a lot for the Colts to start the year, but he's the RB1 of the team these days by every measure. He had his best game of the season in Week 8 (20.3 PPR) and the third-best among Indy rushers (Nyheim Hines has the best-two, not Taylor). Baltimore limited Wilkins to just 39 yards on 11 carries this past weekend, and although he caught his two targets he finished with -1 yards. Nothing to be worried about too much with Taylor being the RB3 in snaps, though...

We saw Week 8 as a potential fluke, but far from it. It looks like Wilkins should command at least an even split in usage with Taylor ROS, with Hines playing the pass-catching RB-role. If that's the case, Wilkins is definitely a nice option for fantasy GMs in deeper leagues.

Other than Tennessee (22nd at stopping fantasy RBs) twice, the Colts face four teams ranked 28th or worst from Week 11 to Week 15 included. Even if you don't consider him a must-start, Wilkins should be more than a viable FLEX option for the remainder of the fantasy season and the playoffs--excluding Championship Sunday, as no. 1 Pittsburgh is on the Colts schedule for W16.
