Antone Smith (RB, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

The below analysis first appeared in RotoBaller's article Week 4 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues as Bench Depth

Owned in 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: At some point Steven Jackson has to stop being the big fierce back we have all come to know and love right? Well, maybe not. But when/if he does, it's not going  to be Jacquizz Rodgers who takes over in Atlanta. Those honors now seem to belong to Antone Smith who had a very nice game last Thursday rushing 4 times for 50 yards and a TD. That’s 12.5 yards per carry, which is pretty insane.

Granted, those numbers came against a terrible Tampa Bay defense in a game they were being blown out of, but Rodgers had 5 carries and only managed 6 yards against that same defense. So, you tell me who you think the new no. 2 is in Atlanta? If you answered Antone Smith, you win! I’d own Antone Smith in deeper leagues right now as a lottery ticket, especially since I believe he’d take over the starting roll if anything were to happen to Jackson. Just keep in mind that Antone is no spring chicken himself, and there may be a reason he hasn’t been given a full opportunity despite now having been in the league four years.
