Mike Gillislee (RB, NO) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: New Orleans Saints running back Mike Gillislee may have fumbled in Week 1, but his fumble that wound up being returned for a touchdown didn't cost the Saints the game - their defense is to blame for that. It doesn't help his stock, though. Sean Payton once benched Mark Ingram in favor of Tim Hightower for an entire game because of fumbling issues.

Gillislee's roster spot is far from secure, so he'll need a strong showing this week to prove he belongs on fantasy rosters. It's still the Alvin Kamara show, even in short-yardage and goal-line situations, so you really are hoping for Kamara to run it inside the five-yard line and fall down from sheer fatigue to give Gillislee a chance. He can be a handcuff in deep-enough leagues or a desperation play in standard leagues.
