Antone Smith (RB, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Jacquizz Rodgers left Tampa Bay’s Week 8 pirate fight with the Raiders due to a foot injury, and will only have a few days to recover before the Bucs play on Thursday night against the Falcons. While Peyton Barber (9% owned) was the one to step in and look good spelling Rodgers in Week 7, it was Antone Smith who out-touched Barber five to one after Rodgers left. There’s also a bit of revenge-street here for those who like a good narrative, as Smith wore Falcons colors in the first five seasons of his career. For what it's worth, I think Barber will be the short-yardage and goal-line guy moving forward, but Smith hasn't been put on any radars yet so we'll give him the shoutout.

*UPDATE: Rodgers is dealing with a foot sprain and HC Dirk Koetter is pessimistic about his chances to start in Week 9.
