Theres a theme to our column this week: backfield workloads. Its something we keep an eye on across the league, because as the season wears on, backfield splits are often more likely to arise as teams account for the wear-and-tear a starting back would expect to see. This piece will serve as a reminder that not all waiver-wire adds need to result in immediate return. There are weeks when such is the case -- particularly in the case of injury replacements -- but in other situations, a players value might not be apparent until later in the season. But the best window to buy is actually sner than one might suspect.Well cover running back workloads and more in the Week 6 edition of our waiver-wire adds.As usual, all players on the list are owned in less than 50 percent of leagues on ESPN.com.Sammie Coates, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers (39.9 percent). A name that made this list last week, Coates has emerged as the No. 2 passing threat in the high-octane Pittsburgh offense. He has six catches in consecutive games and exploded for a pair of touchdowns in Week 5. Drops remain an issue, but Coates is a must-add in all leagues. The upside is obvious.James White, RB, New England Patriots (38.5 percent). With Tom Brady back under center, the Patriots offense tk on a familiar form against the Browns. White was a prominent factor for the team when it wanted to pick up the tempo (as it often does) or spread a defense out horizontally. He racked up 63 yards on four catches. Hes an RB2 in PPR scoring in 12-team or larger leagues.Bilal Powell, RB, New York Jets (44.6 percent). A running back whose role continues to blossom by the week, Powell picked up six catches in Week 5. Consider this: Matt Forte had 52 rushes in the first two weeks of the season. His rush total has decreased in each week since, as he has just 41 over his past three games. The takeaway? There will be a more balanced work split for this duo and Powell is another flex-worthy running back in PPR scoring.James Starks, RB, Green Bay Packers (23.7 percent). The numbers havent been kind to Starks this season -- 24 carries for 42 yards -- but with Eddie Lacy banged up, the Packers are potentially in need of a fill-in starter. Well see if Lacy is gd to go in Week 6, but if not, Starks immediately vaults into a borderline top-25 play. There isnt another true running back on Green Bays roster.Jacquizz Rodgers, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (24.8 percent). While Doug Martin could return for Tampa Bay following a Week 6 bye, Charles Sims is out for at least eight weeks after being placed on the injured reserve list. That opens the dr to Rodgers sustaining a role, perhaps comparable to the one Sims had when both he and Martin were healthy. For now, Rodgers should be added in 12-team leagues and can certainly be used in your lineup in Martin does not return in Week 7.Cameron Artis-Payne, RB, Carolina Panthers (28.1 percent). Keep a close eye on injury updates for Jonathan Stewart this week, as recent remarks make it seem possible hes back on the field on Sunday. If he isnt, Artis-Payne -- who compiled 20 fantasy points in Week 5 -- is a viable top-25 running back option. Hes a smart add for anyone that already owns Stewart, t.Davante Adams, WR, Green Bay Packers (9.7 percent). Adams has scored in three of four games played this season and picked up five catches for 85 yards and a touchdown in Week 5. With Randall Cobb currently banged up, the potential value of Adams is notable. Hes something of a wide receiver handcuff in the Packers passing offense. He will step up into the top two on the Packers WR depth chart if Cobb has to miss any time due to injury.Brian Hoyer, QB, Chicago Bears (16.6 percent). While just two teams have a bye over each of the next two weeks, theres nothing wrong with adding your fill-in quarterback sner than the week in which you will need him. Hoyer hasnt just filled in for Jay Cutler in Chicago, he has outperformed him. Dont be surprised if he keeps this job going forward. Be it as a bye week fill-in or streaming option when your QB has a tough matchup, Hoyers recent play (18, 20 and 23 points over the past three weeks) definitely merits consideration in 12-team or larger leagues.Bobby Rainey, RB, New York Giants (4.0 percent). There are two very different roles for running backs in a lot of offenses, the Giants included: a between-the-tackle back and a pass-catching back. Rainey fits the latter. In two full games since Shane Vereen got hurt, Rainey has 22 total touches, but 13 are catches. He has been gd for 26 points in PPR scoring during that stretch. Hes a flex consideration in 12-team or larger PPR leagues.Cameron Meredith, WR, Chicago Bears (1.5 percent). There are two ways to evaluate the nine-catch, 130 yards and one touchdown performance of Meredith: one is to recognize that Week 5 could well be the best game of his season, the other is to examine a few positive indicators working in his favor. He had 12 targets -- a team high -- and 63 offensive snaps, most among all Bears wide receivers. He assumed the role that Kevin White had before his injury, and its worth noting that White led all Bears in targets before he went down. Id call Meredith an add in 12-team or larger leagues that is -- at worst -- a stash.Devontae Bker, RB, Denver Broncos (21.1 percent). Were not sounding the alarm for C.J. Anderson owners, but its worth noting that Bkers role is growing for Denver seemingly by the day. He registered the second game of his career with double-digit touches, compiling 59 yards on 10 rushes and receptions. Hes a must-own for all Anderson owners and a worthwhile add for anyone lking for running back depth.Jeremy Kerley, WR, San Francisco 49ers (8.0 percent). In three of five games this season, Kerley has registered at least six catches and 60 yards. The issue is that there was a pair of games when Kerley had just five total catches sandwiched in between, but hes the closest thing to a reliable passing option in the San Francisco passing game and merits consideration in PPR leagues.Jay Ajayi, RB, Miami Dolphins (48.2 percent). Im still not overly enthused by the Dolphins backfield situation, but Ajayi seemed to be the workhorse with Arian Foster out again in Week 5. Ajayi found the end zone and picked up double-digit points in standard scoring. Hes usable again if Foster sits in Week 6.Jalen Richard, RB, Oakland Raiders (19.4 percent). Latavius Murrays injury in Week 5 opened the dr for both DeAndre Washington (he does not qualify for this list based on ownership percentage) and Richard to earn significant work. Richard picked up 14 total touches (six catches). Well see if Murray misses any more time. If he does, Richard is a usable flex in deeper leagues, especially in PPR formats.Matt Asiata, RB, Minnesota Vikings (15.4 percent). Im surprised Asiatas ownership has stayed this low following the Adrian Peterson injury. Jerick McKinnon is the starter and better overall talent, but Asiata is still earning work -- and some of it in important situations (namely goal-line carries). He has scored in consecutive weeks. The Vikings go on a bye in Week 6, but Asiata can be used in 14- or 16-team leagues upon return.Eddie Royal, WR, Chicago Bears (41.2 percent). It was Cameron Meredith who was the breakthrough star for the Bears in Week 5. Royal, who we highlighted in this column last week, caught seven passes for 43 yards. He does most of his work at or near the line of scrimmage, making him a worthwhile PPR addition in 12-team or larger leagues.Chris Hogan, WR, New England Patriots (34.8 percent). Another Patriot who saw the benefit of having Tom Brady back in the fold. Hogan provided a vertical spark for the offense, going over 100 yards in Week 5 on just four catches. Hes an add in deeper leagues for now. The Patriots still feature so many capable pass-catchers, that volume might be an issue for Hogan going forward. But were intrigued after Week 5.Per the request of some readers, here is a list of names that can be dropped in ESPN 10-team standard leagues. These players are owned in 50 percent or more of leagues: Lions WR Golden Tate, Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett, Bears RB Jeremy Langford, New York Giants QB?Eli Manning,?Los Angeles Rams?WR?Tavon Austin.
