1. Andre Brown-RB-NewYork Giants (25.2%)

From a good pickup who was a high risk start in last week’s article to our number one option of this week, Andre Brown revitalized the Giants rushing attack taking 30 carries for 115 yards and a touchdown against the Raiders. Brown showed no ill effects from his broken leg and stepped right in as the key cog in the Giants offense.

With Eli Manning’s struggles and New York needing an offensive spark, Brown’s return was badly needed and welcomed back. Peyton Hillis did get five carries, but it looks like Brown will be the G-men’s primary back the rest of the season barring injury making him a rare lead back who can be found on the waiver wire.

The next two weeks, the Giants host the Packers and Cowboys as they try to climb back into the NFC East playoff race. If you can get Brown or were able to add him last week, he’s a solid RB2 going forward with top ten RB potential. Remember, this game was against the Raiders, but it was still impressive enough to earn him the top spot in our waiver wire targets.
