BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues / Monitor in All PPR Leagues
Owned in 19% of Fleaflicker leagues
ANALYSIS: It’s hard to know how long Shonn Greene will be out since hamstring injuries are hard to gauge. However, the fantasy community has been buzzing about Bishop Sankey for weeks now. Unfortunately, all Sankey did was respond with 18 carries for 61 yards and one reception for 7 yards against a weak Jags D. That’s not overly impressive.
Now, I’m not saying McCluster will move ahead of Sankey on the depth chart, but he had a good showing in the pass game on Sunday, catching six balls for 52 yards (8.7 yards per reception.) At 5’8” and 170 lbs., McCluster isn’t much more than a change-of-pace back, but he does draw comparisons to Darren Sproles. Does any change-of-pace back not draw comparisons to Darren Sproles? I’m not saying that McCluster isn’t good, but it’s sort of ridiculous how many guys are “comparable” to Darren Sproles when Sproles is clearly something special.
That tangent aside, McCluster is a much better complement to whoever takes the lead back job than is either Sankey or Greene. Both are built like lead backs, but aren’t really receiving-type backs. And so McCluster is worth taking a chance on in deeper PPR leagues off the Week 7 waiver wire.
