Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Running Back

RUNNING BACKS

Written by Bo McBrayer

Bucky Irving (TB): 35% rostered

• Next Opponents: PHI, @ATL, @NO
• True value: $12
• Desperate Need: $20
• Budget-minded: $6

Analysis: Make that three consecutive games in which University of Oregon rookie Bucky Irving has bested incumbent starter Rachaad White in the rushing yards department. White has been absolutely ghastly between the tackles this season, where Irving has been outstanding. The relegation of White to passing downs and the two-minute offense is underway, making Bucky a potential league-winning addition from waivers.

Braelon Allen (NYJ): 36% rostered

• Next Opponents: DEN, @MIN, BUF
• True value: $11
• Desperate Need: $18
• Budget-minded: $5

Analysis: University of Wisconsin rookie Braelon Allen has looked sharp so far as a Jet, spelling superstar Breece Hall admirably. Allen has earned a nice piece of the pie already through his performance, which also benefits Hall in keeping his legs fresh. I am elevating the rookie from stash-plus to spot starter with an RB-friendly upcoming schedule.

Ty Chandler (MIN): 38% rostered

• Next Opponents: @GB, NYJ, BYE
• True value: $9
• Desperate Need: $16
• Budget-minded: $3

Analysis: It was the Aaron Jones show on Sunday in Minnesota’s resounding romp over the Houston Texans. Chandler was quiet, turning his seven carries into only 13 rushing yards. I still have a lot of confidence in Chandler’s production within this offense. He is simply too good to not have on a roster as a premium stash with matchup-dependent flex potential.

Cam Akers (HOU): 46% rostered

• Next Opponents: JAX, BUF, @NE
• True value: $7
• Desperate Need: $13
• Budget-minded: $2

Analysis: It wasn’t pretty, but Akers paid off as Houston’s de facto starting RB vs. the Vikings. Akers barely averaged two yards on his nine rushing attempts but found the end zone for an 8-yard score on his lone reception. The rest of this backfield without Joe Mixon is suspect at best. Akers is worth keeping around until Mixon returns to form, at which point Akers will still be a stash candidate.

Alexander Mattison (LV): 31% rostered

• Next Opponents: CLE, @DEN, PIT
• True value: $4
• Desperate Need: $7
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Mattison has never really been an exciting player to roster in fantasy, but he has caused an uproar in the fantasy community with his new role as a touchdown vulture. Mattison has now scored in each of the Raiders’ first three contests, despite virtually no production on any of his other opportunities. It takes a real sadist to add him off of waivers hoping his rage-inducing touchdown streak continues.

Samaje Perine (KC): 36% rostered

• Next Opponents: @LAC, NO, BYE
• True value: $3
• Desperate Need: $5
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: I suppose there is something to be said about Perine earning passing down snaps for the Chiefs. Isiah Pacheco won’t be back anytime soon, but the lion’s share of Sunday night’s touches went to undrafted rookie Carson Steele. Perine is just about dust, but there’s a bit of residue left until Clyde Edwards-Helaire is ready to return from his leave of absence.
