BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: The Indianapolis Colts have a new quarterback in Philip Rivers. Since 2009, Rivers has supported a WR2 with a top 40 finish at the position eight times, including the past three seasons. Heck, his WR3 has finished top-50 four times over that sample.

So, the fact that no one is hyping up the Colts receivers this year. Sure, T.Y. Hilton is getting drafted everywhere, but it seems like we're all just waiting around for Week 1 to happen to see who winds up being the No. 2 guy here.

Don't wait. Be a proactive manager and go out and get Michael Pittman Jr. He was a strong deep threat in college and should instantly fit in with what Rivers wants to do.
