Jacquizz Rodgers (RB, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 18% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Jacquizz Rodgers was the starter with Doug Martin as a surprise inactive (coach’s decision) in Week 16 against the Saints. It’s unclear why exactly Martin was given the day off, whether it had to do with ineffectiveness or health (there had been a bug going around in the locker room), but this writer’s money would be on ineffectiveness. Rodgers showed why he was able to be successful earlier in the season, rushing it 15 times for 63 yards and a touchdown as he out-touched pass-catcher Charles Sims 17 to seven. Keep an eye on news coming out of Tampa Bay, but Rodgers is definitely the one to own for Week 17’s date with the Panthers.
