Double check your waiver wire, Branden Oliver is owned in only 78% of Yahoo leagues and 73% of ESPN. He should be owned in all leagues. 19 rushes and 26 rushes in the past two weeks. 4 receptions in each of the past 3 games. Ryan Matthews will have competition when/if he returns. I get the feeling he's already lost his job. Also, I read that Matthews hasn't even started running yet. I would assume that means he isn't close to being ready. Oliver can be this years Zac Stacy.
Oliver is better than Stacy in that he can actually catch and run with the ball. He's averaging around 10 yards a reception.
Hell yeah I would. You had asked how many touches Lacy got compared to Starks yesterday. Starks has 24 overall touches to Lacy's 30 the last two weeks. Lacy was also on the bench when the Packers ran their 2 minute drill to beat Miami I would offer either for him.
The numbers are skewed because of one word: FREE. It's a shame, but a lot of people who play in leagues like Yahoo and ESPN use them as free leagues to prep them for their real ones then forget about them, or drop out when their team's tank. I use both for my WW list since there really isn't a better way to get a true number of players owned in leagues that mean something. I'd use My Fantasy League since you have to pay to use their system, but a majority of owners don't use that site since it's an extra percentage for each owner to chip in. I guess that's why I like it the most.
I sent two offers Eddie Lacy and Starks For Oliver and Justin Hunter Frank Gore and Riley Cooper for Oliver and Justin Hunter Let's hope he bites. I need this
Well we are negotiating. He wants Justin Hunter out and wants to give me IVory. I don't care as long as I get Oliver.. .lol

I understand with the free league aspect to player owned, and it will not reach 100%. But the number is low enough that it is worth double checking in all leagues. Better to spend a minute and find out he is taken than not double check and miss out.
