Over 50% as he has a chance to lead the Steelers backfield all year.

Malcom Brown for a Cam Akers owner

Russell Gage I was looking at those guys.

Everyone freaked out about Brown after week 1 last year too. It didn't amount to anything, same will happen this year. If you can get him free go for it, but there are better uses for your FAAB either right now or later in the year.

Most of my leagues are 12tm 28 man roster with IR slots. If you don't use it early you almost always get stuck with it. I never blow it all week 1, but I almost always get my best waiver pickup of the year early on, as players tend to get scooped up as soon as they hit an active roster.

He was an impending FA a couple of years ago and I got caught up in the hype and he did nothing but cost me a roster spot and the FA $$$ I spent on him. Then came the Gurley knee issue and Brown proponents were sure he was good enough to take on workload, plus the Rams resigned him (no one else offered). Turned out through some research that the Rams coaches love him because he’s a ST stud. Now here we are yet again. I’d be hard pressed to believe that he’s suddenly good enough to hold off both Akers and Henderson. Either one of those guys, or both, could easily have an epiphany and displace Brown, who on his best days is a mediocre runner.

I hope I’m wrong this time like I was the first time on him but I fear that I’m not. It’s not like he hasn’t had opportunity .

This is going to end up just like the Robinson thread, but I almost always pick up waiver wire players with the intention to flip them. I'm not looking for or expecting long term assets. Brown is another good case of a guy that could build trade value quickly. One or two more weeks of holding off Akers and he's easily worth a 3rd or possibly even a 2nd. That's a quick win. If it doesn't happen, oh well, that means he turned out like the other 90% of waivers throughout the year.
