Ahmad Bradshaw a Sneaky PPR Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 13% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Well, he scored this week so that's something. This is very clearly Frank Gore's job.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Karlos Williams has been one of the biggest surprises in this year's rookie RB crop. He came out of the draft with nearly no hype (in fact, most of what I've seen on him was negative) and barely saw his stock rise […]

Offered a veteran-minimum contract by the Texans at the beginning of […]
