I am 3-2. I have the number one waiver pick.
Do I use it on Branden Oliver or Ronnie Hillman? Or do
I hang on the the number one pick? 10 team standard format.

Oliver is the better option. Hillman isn't guaranteed to be the starter, the knock on him has been he is to small to be a #1 back so Denver might go RBBC. Oliver had a huge game against a pretty good run defense, he will be the starter this week vs a really bad Oakland team. Another big game and it will be hard to keep him off the field even when Brown and Mathews come back.

Broncos going to be running out a committee. Hot hand maybe getting a little more but he did run hard. Oliver will be in til Mathews gets back and if the coaches are smart they'll stick with Oliver. They might not be smart though.

Should I pass and keep my number one waiver pick then? Keeping in mind I have ingram coming back....

Williams looks to be the back for the next couple weeks. Nice having that #1 in the hole, just depends how bad you feel you want a possible upgrade.
