Let’s take a look at this week’s waiver Wire connections presented by Spectrum Dalton and I every week share a large medium and small priority player for you off the waiver wire this week, not a ton of Gems this week, but we’ve got some players for you to add Dalton, give us your players to add off the wire this week.
First up, Matthew Stafford, the Rams had the league’s highest neutral pass rate in games with Cooper Cup and Puka Nacua this season, both are back.
L A led the NFL in your per play when healthy last season and its upcoming schedule could feature numerous shootouts.
Stafford is available in more than 60% of Yahoo Leagues.
My medium pickup is Keyon Coleman.
He’s seen his most targets and produced his best games the last two weeks.
Amari Cooper will be more involved in Buffalo’s offense but Coleman is clearly developing nice chemistry with Josh Allen Coleman is worth adding just to see his growth continue.
He’s the widest 23 in fantasy points per route run and available in nearly 60% of Yahoo Leagues.
Finally, my large priority pickup is Isaac Garn.
He replaced an injured Jordan Mason Sunday night and flashed his elite speed while getting 6.1 yards per carry.
Now Christian mccaffrey is on pace to return after San Francisco’s upcoming by but Garn looked far more explosive than Jordan Mason and CM CS health remains a complete mystery.
There’s simply no player currently available on more than 90% of waiver wires with a greater likelihood to be ranked as an RB one down the stretch than Garino go stash him.
I’ll give my small priority player here.
Parker Washington, 0% roster in Yahoo League.
So, hey, he’s available in your league.
He’s pretty much the direct backup to Christian Kirk as the slot receiver for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Christian Kirk is gonna miss the rest of the season with an injury.
So Parker Washington is the next man up.
We’ve seen him step up for the Jaguars before.
I don’t know that he’s necessarily gonna be a massive league winner.
So just a small priority pickup if you need some wide receiver help, I do think he’s a pretty capable slot receiver who can get the job done and give you a few weeks here.
Bo Nix, my medium player, the offensive product isn’t always great in Denver.
It’s not always pretty.
I know some QB gurus that don’t necessarily love Bo Knicks, but guys get putting up fantasy points.
He’s a top 10 quarterback in fantasy points per game right now.
25% rostered in Yahoo leagues, 52 rushes on the season.
That is primarily what’s bumping up those fantasy stats, but he’s had some productive outings as a passer as well and he gets a Baltimore secondary this week that already was given up big plays in the passing game and suffered injuries heading into last week’s game.
We saw the Browns throw all over them.
I do think B Knicks, if you need a quarterback streamer, you have Brock Purdy who’s on a bi week.
B Knicks is a nice alternative as a streamer this week.
Men.
Those Browns.
My large priority player is Cedric Tilman.
It just 19% roster.
I can’t believe it’s still so low after being a really good waiver option last week over the last two weeks, he has 21 targets after Omari Cooper was traded, which is tied with David and Joko for the team lead in Cleveland.
He’s run a ro on 87% of the drop backs.
He’s getting downfield looks.
He’s also making plays after the catch.
He reminds me so much of pre ac L Courtland Sutton, a guy that I do expect to lead the team at least a wide receiver room.
Rest of the way as the best fantasy option.
I like Elijah Moore.
I was happy to see him produce, but I think Tilman is the right answer in fantasy in this Cleveland wide receiver room.
Now that Jameis Winston is under center for the rest of the season.
This has been the way wire connections on the Yahoo Fantasy forecast presented by Spectrum.
