Christine Michael plucked off waivers by Packers

The Green Bay Packers claimed running back Christine Michael off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks.

What It Means:

This is arguably the best landing spot for Michael's fantasy prospects after he was released by the Seahawks on Tuesday. James Starks returned for the Packers last week, but he's been brutally ineffective this season, so Michael figures to have an immediate role. The 26-year-old back fell off after a sharp start to the year, but the potential opportunity warrants being scooped up if he hit waivers in your leagues. Ty Montgomery is still around and figures to see some touches, but his health remains a concern.

Michael is averaging 4.0 yards per carry on 117 rush attempts this season, earning 0.01 Rushing Net Expected Points per play (14th out of the 37 running backs with at least 70 carries this season).
