Chris Ivory (RB, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

57% Owned in Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: One of the more pleasant surprises of the early slate of NFL games, Chris Ivory just finished up a 16.2 fantasy points in week 1 versus a very weak Raiders defense. The best possible news we can give you besides his high scoring totals is that he is getting a very healthy amount of touches alongside Chris Johnson.

The New York Jets are clearly pushing the ground and pound philosophy in 2014, and they finally have the horses in the stable to get the job done. Given Ivory's poor track record to stay healthy, he cannot be relied upon for anything more than an RB3 or FLEX option with good upside, but with that being said, he is severely under owned and should be immediately picked up in all leagues of 12+ teams. Be sure you are bidding with a generous FAAB dollar amount if you plan to land this stud and sleeper running back in the waiver wire roulette of Week 1.
