Fantasy football: Week 4 waiver-wire picks
Seriously, go. We'll be here when you get back.
Leshoure's ESPN ownership percentage is a comically low 36.9. It's unlikely he's available in any league with more than 10 teams, but he should be considered a starter in any format.
In his NFL debut last week at Tennessee, the Lions didn't gradually work Leshoure, who was suspended for the first two weeks, into the lineup.
They gave him 30 touches, which produced 134 yards and a touchdown.
Leshoure should be a productive No. 2 running back in fantasy, especially when you consider he plays in an offense that could average 30 points per game.
He's a no-brainer as the top-ranked running back this week, and it should be the last week of the season in which he's available in more half of the ESPN formats.
As always, we only consider players who are owned in fewer than 50 percent of the ESPN leagues, and we try to go much lower than that.

Thanks for the owned percentages. I'm looking to really improve my fantasy football teams because I didn't draft well. Even getting a couple of these players could really improve my team. I'm wondering about Jackie Battle right now though. They seemed to give Mathews quite a bite of carries.
