It’s hard to believe how quickly the 2022 season is flying by. Further complicating matters is the arrival of those pesky bye weeks. That places added importance on the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 8.

Here are the top fantasy-relevant, low-rostered free agents to target ahead of Week 8, with FAAB recommendations.

Week 8 byes: Kansas City, Los Angeles Chargers 

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Bailey Zappe (QB) New England Patriots (5% FAAB- After Mac Jones threw an interception on his 3rd drive coming back off the ankle injury in Monday Night Football, Coach Belichick benched Jones in favor of Zappe. Zappe threw a 30-yard TD to Jakobi Meyers and a 43-yard completion to DeVante Parker in his first two drives. In his previous two games, Zappe was the 2nd highest-graded QB, per PFF, only behind Josh Allen. Among QBs over that span, Zappe ranks in the top 5 for adjusted completion % and NFL Passer Rating, while also throwing for the 8th most yards during that span. Zappe may not add much with his legs, but he’ll be an interesting QB2 moving forward as long as he starts.

Daniel Jones (QB) New York Giants (5% FAAB)- The 6-1 Giants are cruising under Daniel Jones and their defense. Jones just rushed for 107 yards on 11 carries. This is the third such game Jones has rushed for 68+ yards. He’s the QB9 on the season and showed his ceiling Week 7 against Jacksonville. The Giants get Seattle in Week 8, a defense that gives up 17.9 fantasy points per game and 7th most rush yards to QBs this season. Consider Jones a high-floor QB2, as he’s 34% rostered.

It’s hard to believe how quickly the 2022 season is flying by. Further complicating matters is the arrival of those pesky bye weeks. That places added importance on the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 7.

 

Here are the top fantasy-relevant, low-rostered free agents to target ahead of Week 7, with FAAB recommendations. Also, don’t forget the Bills, Rams, Vikings, and Eagles are on bye this week.

Deon Jackson (RB) Indianapolis Colts (20% FAAB) – A recommended add last week, Jackson made the most of his opportunity. Indy’s RB3, Jackson got the spot start and turned 22 touches into 121 scrimmage yards and a score en route to finishing the week as the overall RB1. Of course, the huge concern is Jackson was unable to finish the game with a quad injury. Jackson tweeted after the game that he was “all good,” which is reassuring. However, with Jonathan Taylor tentatively expected back this week, Jackson may have a hard time seeing consistent snaps. Thus, a strong but cautious bid is in order.

 

Brian Robinson (RB) Washington Commanders (13%) – Robinson indeed got the start and led Washington in carries. He wasn’t overly impressive but did manage to punch in a goal-line score. Robinson’s value will be somewhat capped by a lack of targets but he should be added in all formats.

It seems like the 2022 NFL season is flying by. About the only thing keeping up with that brisk pace is roster depletion. The injuries keep mounting up and the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 6 is vital to helping you stay proactive.

 

Here are the top fantasy-relevant, low-rostered free agents to target ahead of Week 6, with FAAB recommendations.

Kenneth Walker III (RB) Seattle Seahawks (75%+ FAAB) – Another unfortunate injury to Rashaad Penny might have unlocked the biggest acquisition of the 2022 season. Once thrust into action, Walker took every carry for Seattle and played nearly every down. He showed tremendous burst and vision and broke a 69-yard TD. Available in more than half of ESPN leagues, Walker is going to cost a substanisial bid. And, he’s going to be worth it. If the Seahawks continue to look this good, Walker offers league-winning upside.

Taysom Hill (TE) New Orleans Saints (10% FAAB) – Somebody is likely to overbid for Hill bases on last week’s blow-up game. He’s certainly worth a solid bid but proceed with caution. Hill is not drawing targets and his role has increased with Andy Dalton filling in. When Jameis Winston returns, there is no guarantee the Saints will be willing to give as many red-zone snaps to Hill. Cash in while you can, but understand the risk/reward.

With four games in the books, it’s doubtful anyone has escaped the rash of injuries and disappointing starts. With so many first-rounders underperforming or unavailable, the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 5 has never been more important.

Here are the top fantasy-relevant, low-rostered free agents to target ahead of Week 5, with FAAB recommendations.

Mike Boone (RB) Denver Broncos (15% FAAB) – Melvin Gordon would be the obvious add but he is rostered in three-quarters of ESPN leagues. Gordon also saw himself benched after another costly fumble. That opened the door for Boone to average 6.7 yards per carry against the Raiders in relief of Javonte Williams. Boone also ran 12 routes to Gordon’s 5. Williams’s season is over with a serious knee injury, so Boone should be a priority add in all formats.

Raheem Mostert (RB) Miami Dolphins (13% FAAB) – Now rostered in 53% of ESPN leagues, Mostert took a real step towards being Miami’s best fantasy RB. He out-snapped Chase Edmonds 46-18 and had 10 more opportunities in Cincinnati. Edmonds will remain involved in the passing game but for now, Mostert looks like the better overall fantasy asset.

Looking back on Week 3, it feels like it was a remarkable slate of games. Mostly for the wrong reasons. The Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 4 is one of the best ways fantasy managers can improve their odds at winning this week and for the remainder of the season.

 

Here are the top fantasy-relevant, low-rostered free agents to target ahead of Week 4, with FAAB recommendations.

Khalil Herbert (RB) Chicago Bears (65% FAAB) – Without definite word on the right knee injury to David Montomery, be prepared to go “all in” for Khalil Herbert. Montgomery appeared to twist his knee awkwardly, which often means MCL or PCL damage. It could also be a severe high-ankle sprain. Regardless, it looks like Chicago’s starter will be sidelined for several games and Herbert flashed his RB1 upside. After Montgomery’s exit, Herbert did something Montgomery has never done in the NFL- rushed for 157 yards and two scores. Chicago’s anemic passing attack is historically bad, which means Herbert could see a significant workload for multiple weeks. Be prepared to make a substantial waiver claim, but you just might land an RB1 for the next month or longer.

 

Jamaal Williams (RB) Detroit Lions (55% FAAB) – We’ve been on Williams since this summer, so he’s probably not available in your league. However, he is unrostered in over half of ESPN leagues. Williams already has stand alone weekly value. But, with D’Andre Swift now slated to miss at least two games

Week 2 was filled with drama and several players did not emerge unscathed. Although it is too early to panic, the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 3 can help you fortify your roster to overcome the carnage of a wild week.

Here are some of the top fantasy-relevant free agents to target ahead of Week 3, with FAAB recommendations.

Garrett Wilson (WR) New York Jets (12% FAAB) – Still available in about half of ESPN leagues, Wilson is a must-add in every format. With a whopping 14 targets, 8 receptions, 102 yards, and a pair of touchdowns, Wilson broke out in Week  2. Although he has played fewer snaps than Elijah Moore and Corey Davis, Wilson still has 22 targets in his first two NFL games. The rookie is a viable weekly WR3 with weekly WR2 upside. He should be rostered in all leagues and is worth a sizable FAAB bid.

Noah Brown (WR) Dallas Cowboys (5% FAAB) – Don’t look now, but Noah Brown enters Week 2 as a top-20 PPR receiver. And the loss of Dak Prescott didn’t seem to hurt his productivity. Brown has five receptions in each of the Cowboys’ first two contests. Last week, with Cooper Rush under center, Brown snagged all five of his targets for 91 yards and a score. The 6-foot-2 225-pound Ohio State product appears to be entrenched as Dallas’s No. 2 wideout. Even when Michael Gallup returns, Brown should remain a viable fantasy WR 3/4. Last season, the Cowboys ran ’11’ personnel on 67% of their snaps. Brown is barely rostered in fantasy leagues but that is about to change.

That season-opening slate of games was certainly something. With all that went wrong, you’re probably going to need to add reinforcement via the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 2.

 

However, keep in mind this is only one week. Less than 6% of the regular season. While it’s perfectly fine to beef up your roster, don’t overreact to some of the unforeseen performances from Sunday. Keep your eye on the prize but stay level-headed.

Here are the top fantasy football waiver wire adds: week 1 to consider, with FAAB recommendations.

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

 

Jeff Wilson (RB) San Francisco 49ers (15% FAAB) – Wilson was the only RB other than Elijah Mitchell to see the field on Sunday. Once Mitchell exited, Wilson got 9 carries and ran 10 routes. With Mitchell (knee) sidelined for multiple weeks, Wilson should have a viable path to weekly RB2 duties. He should be aggressively targeted as one of the top waiver wire adds this week.

Jahan Dotson (WR) Washington Commanders (12% FAAB) – Although he is rostered in just over half of ESPN leagues, Dotson should be considered the top priority if he’s available on the wire. Dotson was in on just one less snap than Terry McLaurin and ran one less route. But it was Dotson who drew Carson Wentz‘s praise all summer. And that connection continued into the regular season as the first-round rookie caught a pair of touchdown receptions in his NFL debut. Dotson is indisputably Washington’s No. 2 wideout and should be rostered in all leagues moving forward.
