Malcolm Brown (RB, LAR) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues

OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown is a very strong recommendation for all Todd Gurley owners, and a suggestion for anyone who has both the roster space and a safely secured spot in their league’s postseason. We were reminded that Gurley actually remains human even after his transformation into the post- Jeff Fisher era when an ankle issue reduced his workload in Week 11. That resulted in a nightmarish development for anyone who had been dependent upon the RB1 in fantasy scoring to deliver output that matched his usual point production in order to win their matchups.

If he were to encounter a debilitating health problem of any kind, Brown could instantly erupt for excellent numbers while functioning as the workhorse back for the highly explosive Ram offense. Gurley owners should make sure that they will not have to experience this scenario without Brown safely installed on their roster, while anyone else who adds him now might reap massive dividends if Brown suddenly becomes an RB1 during critical postseason matchups.
