Zach Zenner (RB, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in deep leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Zach Zenner scored a TD! He only rushed nine times for 29 yards, but he scored a TD!

Dwayne Washington (RB, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-team leagues if healthy OWNED IN: 16% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dwayne Washington and fellow Lions RB Theo Riddick seem to have ankle injuries that are much worse than Detroit has let on, but given that Washington was expected to play up until Sunday morning I’d say his Week 8 chances are pretty decent.

Zach Zenner (RB, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-team leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Zach Zenner found the end zone on a goal-line play, ending his day with nine carries for 29 yards.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues if healthy for next Sunday OWNED IN: 16% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Yes, I'm still stumping for D-Wash (the Detroit one). Dwayne Washington was expected to play this week, but needed a bit more time to recover from a bum ankle. Justin Forsett hasn't done anything to hold onto the job and Theo Riddick remains out, […]
