Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown is on just 25 percent of fantasy football rosters in Yahoo leagues as of midnight ET Monday. Backfield mate Cam Akers is rostered in 94 percent of leagues.
Expect Brown to be one of the hottest fantasy football free agents this week, though, after gaining 110 yards from scrimmage and scoring two touchdowns on 21 touches in the Rams' 20-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday evening.
Brown dominated the backfield touches, as Ian Hartitz of Pro Football Focus noted:
Ian HartitzRams RB usage (PFF) Malcolm Brown: 61% snaps, 18-79-2 rushing, 3-31-0 receiving Cam Akers: 34%, 13-49-0, 1-4-0 Darrell Henderson: 6%, 3-6-0 rushing
And Andy Holloway of the Fantasy Footballers podcast tweeted how well Brown performed and what can be expected on waiver wires shortly:
Andy HollowayMake no mistake, Malcolm Brown didn’t just receive the most snaps.
