Cameron Artis-Payne (RB, CAR) - Waiver Wire Analysis
This may be a pick that even I look back at and try to figure out what I was thinking. But, as of the time I am writing this article, starting RB Jonathan Stewart and power back Mike Tolbert are yet to practice this week. This leaves the backfield to the rookie Artis-Payne and journeyman […]

Week 2 is the in books and a lot of strange things have happened already. DeMarco Murray, an early-round pick, has rushed for only 11 yards this season.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming off of his first 100-yard game in almost two years, Matthews is certainly seen as a hot commodity this week.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This is not going to say that Robinson is going to go off for 30 fantasy points and overtake Frank Gore for the starting spot in the Colts' backfield.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Cook is always a name that is extremely inconsistent in terms of fantasy play.

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Again, some people will call this move questionable, but I'll remind you this is only if your team is desperately in need of a spot start.

Since 2002, only 18 rookie quarterbacks have started week 1 of the season for their team, and five of them came in 2012.
