Positives - Last year Jonathan Wells saw action in all 16 games and scored 5 TDs. In his two full games as a starter, while Domanick Davis was injured, Wells put up 210 combined yards and 2 TDs. Wells showed that he can produce if Davis goes down, and is the top backup on the Texans roster.

Negatives - Wells is not a starting RB, but if you’re drafting him as such, you’ve got bigger problems. He was unable to secure the starting roll in Houston, and must compete with Tony Hollings and Vernand Morency to keep the backup spot.

Draft Strategy - This was a handcuff selection. With my #1 RB position filled by Dom Davis in Round 1, I needed his backup in case he went down with an extended injury. There is always the upside possibility that Wells could become a goalline back, but it is an outside shot.
