Kerwynn Williams (RB, ARI) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Adrian Peterson's (neck) surprise inactivity in Week 13 opened the door for Williams, who ran 16 times for 97 yards.

J.D. McKissic (RB, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Yahoo!
