Lance Dunbar (RB, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues

OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Lance Dunbar is a tough guy to justify putting in your starting lineup, given he was expected to be the third running back on his own depth chart -- and is still just second -- but he has proven productive enough to at least warrant a roster spot in most leagues.

In deep .5 PPR or PPR leagues, there is a legitimate argument to be made in favor of starting Dunbar as a flex or even a RB2. The 25-year-old back has just 13 carries to date, but has racked up 215 receiving yards on 21 receptions, the 13th most among all players and five more than any other running back.

Especially with Brandon Weeden under center, the Cowboys should be running a ton of checkdowns. If Dunbar is still available in a league that gives points for receptions, scoop him up immediately.
