Wendell Smallwood (RB, PHI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Prior to Week 3’s matchup with the Colts, the criteria for considering Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood was solely based upon his potential opportunity to accumulate touches if Corey Clement’s sudden quad issue was significant enough to limit his touches. If that occurred, Clement's health problem would align with Jay Ajayi’s back injury, and Darren Sproles’ hamstring issue to lift Smallwood into a sizable role while operating within Doug Peterson’s strategic plan for his backfield.

When this scenario did transpire,  Smallwood accumulated 91 total yards and a touchdown on 13 touches, including 56 yards on the ground. Ajayi would theoretically resume RB1 status if he returns this week, and both Clement and Sproles would re-assume their complimentary roles if they are available. But at this moment, it is difficult to ascertain whether the backs that dwell above Smallwood on the depth chart can sustain their health or effectiveness. This should maintain his feasibility as a roster option, although you should monitor updates throughout the week concerning all four Eagle backs.
