Ronnie Hillman (RB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-team leagues

OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Matt Asiata failed to get any sort of stranglehold on Minnesota’s backfield with Adrian Peterson and Jerick McKinnon out, and even though McKinnon is back now, it’s a dark-horse candidate that ran the best in Week 9. Hillman, the Denver castoff, totaled 30 rushing yards on seven totes and added a 32-yard reception into the mix. McKinnon’s seven carries turned into a measly eight yards, and Asiata gave us a plodding 9-27-0 line (with 2-14-0 receiving). Stranger things have happened, and Minnesota’s Week 10 opponent -- Washington -- had the worst rushing defense per DVOA.
