Waiver Wire: Week 2

The 2024 opener had its share of disappointing performances and injuries. There were also a few unheralded players that piqued our interest. However, it was nothing like last season when Week 1 produced a pair of league winners.

Therefore, there’s no need to panic or blow your entire FAAB budget chasing last week’s production. But that doesn’t mean there’s not some solid option on the Waiver Wire: Week 2.

Here are the low-rostered players you should consider adding ahead of the season’s second week.

JK Dobbins (RB) Los Angeles Chargers – Dobbins is most likely rostered in your league. However, if he’s available, consider a very healthy FAAB bid. Dobbins ranked second in the NFL with 135 rushing yards on just 1o totes. He also secured all three of his targets. It’s early, but Dobbins looks like the main back in a run-first offense. That makes him a priority in the few leagues he somehow went undrafted.

Isaiah Likely (TE) Baltimore Ravens – If you follow @ScottFantasy or our 2024 projections, you already roster Likely. I admit, I was skeptical that the Ravens would run enough 12 sets to get Likely and Mark Andrews involved. Lesson learned. Likey performed huge on the grand stage. However, I don’t expect him to repeat those gaudy stats. Regardless, Likely should be considered one of the top adds for this week.

Justin Fields (QB) Pittsburgh Steelers – The Steelers were unable to get into the end zone but they still pulled out a victory in Atlanta. Fields was fine. He accumulated a 91.9 QB Rating, rushed for 57 yards, and avoided turnovers. There’s a very good chance that Mike Tolmin will stick with Fields as his starter. He offers more upside than Russell Wilson. That gives Fields solid streaming value in Superflex leagues.

Keon Coleman (WR) Buffalo Bills – Coleman had trouble gaining separation all summer, which made him a volatile…

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 17

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 17

It is difficult to recollect a season with more adversity than 2023. If you are reading a Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 17 article, that means you persevered through the chaos and made it to the championship. Congratulations! This is what all that hard work was for.

Making it this far likely means your roster is set. But this isn’t the time to start overthinking. Stick with who, and what got you here. However, there may still be some depth or dynasty options worth adding. One positive takeaway is no teams are locked into playoff spots, which makes things easier to project.

Good luck this week and Merry Christmas!

Clyde Edwards-Helaire (RB) Kansas City Chiefs – Isiah Pacheco is in the NFL’s concussion protocol. Since two-thirds of players diagnosed with a concussion miss at least one week, that sets CEH up to be Kansas City’s lead back in Week 17. Edwards-Helaire has already been making the most of a bigger opportunity after Pacheco missed a pair of games in December. As the potential lead back against a suspect Cincinnati run D, Edwards-Helaire is a solid RB2. Also, it makes him the top fantasy football waiver wire: week 17 option.

Zamir White (RB) Las Vegas Raiders – Josh Jacobs has now missed two consecutive games. Additionally, with the Raiders out of playoff contention and Jacobs set to hit free agency, we could see the veteran back shut down. If that happens, White becomes a very strong RB2 play this week as the Raiders take on a Colts’ defense that has ceded the third-most fantasy points to running backs.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 16

Congratulations on advancing to the semi-finals. Only the best of the best- or luckiest- teams make it this far. However, more untimely injuries complicate rosters in this penultimate week. FullTime Fantasy‘s Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 16 breaks down all the players you should ahead of your semi-final matchup.

Ty Chandler (RB) Minnesota Vikings – Chandler was our top add last week and came up huge, posting the best game of the season for any Minnesota running back with his 157-yard performance. If somehow Chandler slipped through the cracks and is still available, do whatever it takes to add him to your roster.

Noah Brown (WR) Houston Texans – Brown led Houston’s depleted receiving corps in snaps (66) and posted a massive 32.4% target share. Even when Nico Collins returns, Brown is cemented into a solid role with a Texans offense that will have C.J. Stroud back under center. Subsequently, he has WR3 value for the remainder of the season.

Justice Hill (RB) Baltimore Ravens – With Keaton Mitchell’s season over, Hill should…

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 15

Congratulations on persevering through a challenging 2023 regular season and making the playoffs! It’s now do or die, with FAAB no longer applicable. However, more costly injuries have undoubtedly derailed many championship hopefuls. Our Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 15 will help you identify the players to add ahead of the first round.

Also, a friendly reminder there are three Saturday games this week, in addition to Thursday Night Football.

D’Onta Foreman (RB) Chicago Bears – Returning from a two-game absence, Foreman dominated touches and playing time out of Chicago’s backfield. Foreman rushed 11 times for 50 yards while Roschon Johnson and Khalil Herbert combined to accumulate 14 yards on four totes. For now, it looks like Foreman is Chicago’s lead back. And that makes him quite fantasy-releveant where he can be added on the fantasy football waiver wire: Week 15.

Ty Chandler (RB) Minnesota Vikings – It looks like Alexander Mattison is poised to miss some time with an ankle injury. That will put Chandler in a position to…

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 14

This is it. Week 14. (Insert Europe’s The Final Countdown here). Week 14 is the final regular season game of the 2023 slate. One final week to secure a postseason spot, or to fortify your playoff-bound roster. Congratulations! FullTime Fantasy‘s Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 14 will help you pick the right players to target for that final push.

Week 14 Byes: Arizona, Washington

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Ezekiel Elliott (RB) New England Patriots (25% FAAB) – Rhamondre Stevenson exited Week 13 with an ankle injury. His departure resulted in a season-high 21 touches for Elliott. New England travels to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers on Thursday Night Football. That gives Stevenson little time to recover. Therefore, Elliott will be in a position to see heavy usage in an offense that can’t pass the ball. Elliott is on the RB2 radar in a must-win Week 14.

Tyjae Spears (RB) Tennessee Titans (25% FAAB)…

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 13

Luck Week 13. Or maybe it’s unlucky, depending on how your season has developed. However, if you’re reading a fantasy football waiver wire: Week 13 article, you’re probably in contention. The fantasy postseason is just two weeks away, and picking up the right players for the stretch drive is paramount.

Here are FullTime‘s Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 13 players to target.

Week 13 Byes: Baltimore, Buffalo, Chicago, Las Vegas, Minnesota, New York Giants

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Pat Freiermuth (TE) Pittsburgh Steelers (33% FAAB) – The best way to explain Pittsburgh’s offensive woes is to blame Canada. In their first game after dismissing offensive coordinator Matt Canada, the Steelers put up a season-high 421 yards off offense. The main benefactor was Freiermuth, who was playing his first game since Week 4. Muth snagged 9-of-11 targets for a career-high 120 yards. While we can’t expect those numbers again, Freiermuth immediately returns to weekly TE1 status. And the timing couldn’t be better. If he’s somehow available on your fantasy football waiver wire: Week 13, don’t be outbid for a potential difference-maker.

Jayden Reed (WR) Green Bay Packers (15% FAAB) – Reed has been included in this piece multiple times. However…

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 12

Traditionally, Week 12 marks Thanksgiving week, a special week for fantasy football. Also, it is the trade deadline for many weeks. In addition, the 2023 campaign offers up the first-ever Black Friday game. With four early games, the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 12 is among the most important of the entire season.

Here are the top players to target this holiday week. And Happy Thanksgiving, from FullTime Fantasy.

Week 12 Byes: None

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Zach Charbonnet (RB) Seattle Seahawks (25% FAAB) – Most likely, Charbonnet is already rostered in your league. However, if available, the rookie rusher offers weekly RB1/2 value as long as Ken Walker (oblique) is sidelined. Over the last month, Charbonnet was already eating into Walker’s role. Now, he has the chance to take command of the backfield and fantasy managers will benefit.

Ty Chandler (RB) Minnesota Vikings (17% FAAB) – In Minnesota’s new committee backfield, Alexander Mattison took a 2-to-1 lead in snap share. However, Chandler was more effective with his opportunities. The rookie showed burst and corralled all four of his targets. This could easily develop into a 50/50 committee backfield and Chandler looked like the better player.

Isaiah Likely (TE) Baltimore Ravens…

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 11

The good news is that the Week 11 bye slate isn’t near as rough as last week’s. However, the bad news is that we are one week closer to the playoffs. That leaves little time left for middle-of-the-pack teams to secure a spot. Knowing which Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 11 players to bid on is one of the best ways to improve your odds of getting an important win in Week 11.

Also, it helps to be proactive with next week’s holiday slate on the horizon. Here are the top fantasy football waiver wire: Week 11 players to add.

Week 11 Byes: Atlanta, Indianapolis, New England, New Orleans

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Devin Singletary (RB) Houston Texans (15% FAAB) – After a dud game in Week 9, Singletary enters Monday night as the overall RB3. That’s fantasy football. However, there’s a good chance that Singletary can actually usurp Dameon Pierce as Houston’s main runner. Singletary is far more effective in a one-cut zone scheme than Pierce, who is averaging an awful 3.0 yards per carry. Also, the Texans trust Singletary more in the passing game. Both backs are likely to remain involved, but it is Singletary is is trending up. That makes adding him a top priority ahead of Week 11.

Noah Brown (WR) Houston Texans (10% FAAB) – Over the last two weeks, Brown is up there with CeeDee Lamb in receiving yards. However, unlike Lamb, there are legitimate concerns about how long it can last. Nico Collins missed Week 10, opening up the door for Brown to stay in three-wide sets. Once Houston’s top three of Collins, Tank Dell, and Robert Woods (6% FAAB) are back, Brown could see his snaps decrease. Of course, with the way he’s played, maybe Woods will. Therein lies the risk with Brown…

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 10

A costly bye slate and more untimely injuries derailed a Week 9 that still had its share of headlines. Fantasy football managers are now less than a month from the playoffs. That makes the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 10 the most important week to load up for that postseason run.

As always, FullTime Fantasy has you covered. Also, the byes this week are even worse than Week 9, making the fantasy football waiver wire: week 10 even more impactful.

Week 10 Byes: Kansas City, Los Angeles Rams, Miami, Philadelphia

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Tank Dell (WR) Houston Texans (25% FAAB) – If you’re in the FullTime Fantasy Discord, you added Dell weeks ago. However, if he is still available in any league you’re in, be prepared to pay a king’s ransom. Dell is coming off of an amazing performance. His third 20-plus point fantasy outing this season. We can’t expect that kind of production weekly, but Dell is being targeted at a higher rate than Nico Collins. C.J. Stroud implored the Texans to draft Dell and that connection has certainly paid off.

Keaton Mitchell (RB) Baltimore Ravens (12% FAAB) – Before Week 9, Mitchell had all of one touch in 2023. That was mostly the same on Sunday until the Ravens were attempting to run out the clock. Mitchell only played 14 second-half snaps but parlayed them into 11 touches, 143 yards, and a touchdown in garbage time. Undoubtedly, Mitchell has a top gear lacking with Baltimore’s other two backs. However, that doesn’t mean that Mitchell will suddenly start earning a role. He’s worth a healthy FAAB bid. But fantasy managers would be wise to temper expectations and proceed with caution.

Kyler Murray (QB) Arizona Cardinals (10% FAAB) – For several weeks we have recommended a proactive bid on…

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 9

In a year filled with impactful injuries, Week 8 will be remembered as the QB apocalypse. Several quarterbacks were lost on Sunday and their absences will have a huge impact on fantasy football. However, all is not lost. The Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 9 will guide you through what should be a competitive free-agent run.

Also, be aware of the teams that are off this week.

Week 9 Byes: Denver, Detroit, Jacksonville, San Francisco

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Chuba Hubbard (RB) Carolina Panthers (15% FAAB) – If you weren’t proactive and added Hubbard last week while the Panthers were on a bye, the price has gone up. Hubbard dominated snaps on Sunday, playing 67% of the time and out-touching Miles Sanders 17-2.

Trey McBride (TE) Arizona Cardinals (13% FAAB) – The overall TE1 for Week 8, McBride racked up 10 grabs for 95 yards and a touchdown against Baltimore. McBride entered the game with just 15 receptions, so we definitely can’t rely on that kind of volume weekly. But, McBride has accumulated 25 targets over the last three weeks. As long as Zach Ertz remains sidelined, McBride should be viewed as a weekly fantasy TE1 and warranted a strong FAAB offer.

Sam Howell (QB) Washington Commanders (12% FAAB) – Howell has outscored Justin Herbert this season. Chances are he’s already rostered in your league. However, if people aren’t paying attention or are wary of Howell’s highs and lows, he should be the top QB priority.

Will Levis (QB) Tennessee Titans (10% FAAB) – What a debut. Levis perpetrated the greatest game in NFL history for…
