Shaun Draughn (RB, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-team leagues unless Carlos Hyde returns

OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Carlos Hyde is supposedly only missing one week, but we all know we need to be prepared for optimistic news like that to be wrong. Even if Hyde is okay for Week 9’s matchup against the Saints, they may not put the pedal to the floor with him off the bat. This would likely leave Shaun Draughn as a pass-catching spell back who should see plenty of opportunities in a game that the Saints should steamroll San Francisco in, even with New Orleans on the road. Draughn caught five of his seven targets for 37 yards and a TD against Tampa Bay in Week 7, and could turn in a similar effort in Week 9.
