Dexter McCluster-Tennessee Titans (4.2%)

McCluster is still little more than an ultra-deep league consideration, but it appears that he will be involved when the Titans are forced to play from behind and go to a more pass-heavy attack. As Tennessee tried to fight back against the Browns, McCluster had four catches and ten carries running for a team-high 98 yards and adding 26 yards receiving.

McCluster is still what he has always been in fantasy football which is a low-touch, big-play gamble that you could get lucky enough to hit on like last week or get unluckey enough to miss on like in week 1 when he had just two carries for eight yards and wasn’t targeted in the passing game.

He’s a huge role of the dice any time you put him in your lineup but he is widely available and in deep leagues he does deserve a spot in these top ten waiver wire running backs.
