10 Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

Dan Herron, RB, Indianapolis Colts

With the news that Ahmad Bradshaw broke his ankle, the Colts will obviously look to Trent Richardson to carry the backfield load. But because we all know how ineffective he typically is, and because we've seen the Colts run a two-headed attack this season, adding Dan Herron to your fantasy squad could pay dividends.

The only reason we all view Trent Richardson as decent back this season is because last year was such a disaster. It's like a middle school gym class, where improvement gets you a passing grade. Realistically, Richardson has a -0.09 Rushing NEP per rush average, which is the same as Doug Martin and Jonathan Stewart.

How often Herron will be used is still up in the air, but it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for Indianapolis - the second-best offense in the NFL - to only ride T-Rich.
