Wendell Smallwood (RB, PHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 32% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Ryan Mathews has now missed two games in a row, and Wendell Smallwood has failed to do much of anything in each of those games. He has rushed it 17 times for 56 yards in those contests, so we’re being generous in our not lambasting him here. The thing is, Philadelphia as a whole has failed to do much of anything. They’ve been without Jordan Matthews for three of the four halves that they’ve played with Smallwood as the lead back, which has really hamstrung the Eagles’ ability to perform. If Mathews still can’t go next week against Washington in Week 14, but he can’t be viewed as more than a low-end RB3 at this point.
