Phillip Lindsay (RB, DEN) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: While rookie Royce Freeman garnered 15 carries and assembled 71 yards, the fact that fellow newcomer Phillip Lindsay replicated those numbers in both categories was completely unforeseen. Lindsay also manufactured a 29-yard touchdown with one of his two receptions, which made his NFL debut exceptional.

There had been conversation concerning the favorable impression that Lindsay had been making on Denver’s coaching staff, but his Week 1 output surpassed expectations by an enormous margin. This immediately propels him from a region outside the fantasy landscape into a spot among this week’s most enticing waiver wire options, while also catapulting Devontae Booker beyond relevancy. As a result, all owners should consider him as the second-best RB waiver wire option behind T.J. Yeldon.
