Corey Clement (RB, PHI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Here's a quick review of Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement in the eyes of fantasy owners. First, he entered the season as the apparent RB2 behind Jay Ajayi, who nevertheless was a prospective candidate to capture a more sizable role. Then he degenerated to a viable drop option, after Darren Sproles joined Ajayi in commandeering a significantly higher snap count (29/40%), while Clement was relegated to just five touches and 13 snaps.

However, the appeal of owning Clement has re-materialized after he was allotted 11 touches, while generating 85 total yards and a touchdown against Tampa Bay in Week 2. That included his 55 receiving yards, which were amassed as Clement collected five of his six targets. Sproles' absence from the matchup (hamstring), and Ajayi’s back issue during the contest, boosted Clement’s level of opportunity. But he capitalized on the increased workload, and has resurfaced as a roster option.
