All right, let’s take a look at this week’s waiver Wire connections presented by spectrum every week.
Dalton, I give you a large medium and small priority player off the waiver wire.
Dalton hit me with your players to add this week small priority.
Cedric Tillman on the Browns.
He saw 12 targets during his first game without Amari Cooper led Cleveland and a share.
Jerry Judy had just one catch.
So especially of Jameis Winston starting this passing offense suddenly becomes interesting.
Tillman’s rostered in 0% of Yahoo Leagues right now.
My medium priority is Ricky Piersall.
Juan Jennings is another option, but the rookie is going to need to step up with Brandon Auk out for the season pier so let all 49er and routes run during his NFL debut.
63% of Purdy’s targets have gone to wide receivers this season and Slick Rick is available in more than 85% of Yahoo Leagues.
Finally, my large priority is Ray Davis on Buffalo.
He had just a 24% snap share with James Cook back last week.
So maybe this is more a stash, but Davis is impressed over the last two games scoring a touchdown last week while playing through injury.
And if Cook were to go down, the rookie has league winning fantasy upside in an offense that just added Amari Cooper go get him.
My small priority player is Troy Franklin at 1%.
Look, I mean, Franklin is a bit of a deeper ad here.
He ran around 63% of the drop backs last week according to fantasy points data, more route.
They’re trying to get him connected with his former college quarterback Darren B. Nicks.
I would say at this point, Troy Franklin definitely looks like the second most valuable, uh maybe even the most valuable Denver Broncos wide receiver for whatever that’s worth.
So for my medium priority player, I’ll talk about Kon Coleman here at 32% roster in Yahoo Leagues.
Omari Cooper was not on the field for any of uh Kian Coleman’s big plays.
So it wasn’t that Cooper’s presence really opened things up for Coleman, but Cooper was targeted on 40 plus percent of his routes.
He’s clearly gonna be the number one here and that does move everyone down a slot will get some easier matchups.
Coleman’s usage is starting to kind of get mixed up a little bit.
He was used on some more intermediate crossing routes for yards after catch opportunities and he can make big big plays there.
My large priority player, uh Dalton Del Don mentioned him, Jan Jennings.
Jennings already had a monster earlier this season against the Rams.
And overall, it’s been a super efficient player 2.79 yards per route run is third best among wide receivers this year.
He is a good football player who’s gonna have to step up and could be part of the man coverage.
Answer with Brandon Auk out for the San Francisco 49 Ers.
This has been the waiver wire connections on the Yahoo Fantasy forecast presented by Spectrum.
