BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ANALYSIS: Regular readers will remember that Herron was featured last week. Those of you who come to my weekly moderated chats with Zach will also know I was very high on Herron. So what did he do to reward me for talking him up? He rushed eight times for 88 yards and a TD. Granted this came against Washington whose defense isn’t exactly scaring anyone, but a win is a win.
I like Herron to continue to be the dominant back for the Colts for the rest of the season, barring a surprise Ray Rice signing. Herron has gotten more yards per carry all season than his top competitorTrent Richardson, and that was even more drastic Sunday, with Herron achieving 11.0 yards per carry and Richardson managing just 1.5. Still, this is the Colts we’re talking about. They did started Hakeem Nicks over Donte Moncrief repeatedly this season, so they do have a history of sticking with less talented players.
Regardless, it’s not often that you can find a guy who is the de facto lead back on the waiver wire so late in the season. Do what Herron will be doing a lot of and dash to pick him up off the waiver wire. He’ll “Boom” for your team.
