Benny Cunningham (RB, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12 Team Or Deeper Leagues

OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Cunningham was the lead dog on Sunday against the vaunted Seattle Seahawks defense. I actually recommended Cunningham in my weekly Last Minute Adds piece on Saturday and it payed off nicely for those who picked him up. Cunningham showed off some serious versatility racking up 122 total yards, 77 of which came in the passing game. The thought process from that article remains: Todd Gurley is not ready to play yet, and will likely sit out at least the first four games this season. Tre Mason is still coming back from a hamstring injury and Jeff Fisher is in no rush to bring him back. I think Cunningham will be a serviceable FLEX play in 12 team leagues until Gurley comes back and proves that he is ready to take on the lead role.
