Antonio Andrews (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Add and stash

Owned In: 45% of Fleaflicker Leagues

Analysis: Luckily for his owners and those looking to swoop in and grab Antonio Andrews off the wire, there is no other real threat out of the backfield for the Tennessee Titans. Dexter McCluster will miss 2-3 weeks because of a sprained MCL and David Cobb killed some of his hype during his debut with a disastrous negative three yards on four carries. With McCluster out, Cobb will likely get more work, but is surely just a monitor-his-performance fantasy option for now, leaving Andrews as the sole option in Tennessee.

Andrews has yet to truly break out this season and certainly lacks the speed of other backs, but could produce in a matchup against the Oakland Raiders. According to ESPN.com, the Raiders allow 114.7 rushing yards per game and 4.5 yards per carry. Andrews' ability to power through defenders and break tackles should allow him to find some success on Sunday. But with a poorly efficient offensive line, how much success and will it be enough to put a stamp on a lineup?

It can never hurt to have a starting running back on your squad. Andrews just doesn't score enough touchdowns to be start-worthy, nor does he hold a lot of value in standard or PPR formats. Even in a favorable matchup, Andrews hasn't gained the trust in any fantasy owner. He doesn't belong on the waiver wire, so stash him away and monitor his progress. He remains an RB3/borderline RB2 in deeper 14-16 team leagues.
