Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 5

Injuries piled up in Week 4. Also, the dreaded bye weeks have arrived to complicate matters. A good rule of thumb is that we know who teams are after four games. That can help us make better Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 5 picks.

It’s not too late to turn around a slow start. However, time is running out. Let’s review FullTime Fantasy‘s top fantasy football waiver wire Week 5 options that can help you win this week and moving forward.

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Week 5 Byes: Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Chargers, Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Jameson Wiliams (WR) Detroit Lions (13% FAAB) – He’s Baa-aaack! The NFL reduced Williams’s suspension from six games to four. That puts the dynamic wideout in line to suit up this week against the Panthers. However, it’s unknown how ‘game-ready’ William is, or how many snaps he could play. However, Williams should emerge as Detroit’s No. 2 wideout, making him worth a solid waiver wire bid now. Teammate Jayden Reed (6%FAAB) has also locked up the slot role, making him worth a decent bid.

Romeo Doubs (WR) Green Bay Packers (10% FAAB) – The return of Christian Watson didn’t affect Doubs’s momentum. In fact, Doubs enters Week 5 as a top-20 fantasy wideout. Yet, he’s still available in a large percentage of fantasy leagues. Like I said in the intro, teams are who they are after four games. If that holds true, Jordan Love is a viable…

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 4

Week 3 had some unreal performances. Any time that happens, you can expect a flurry of Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 4 activity. That’s when it is crucial to know not only what players to target, but how much of your remaining FAAB budget you should allocate to acquire their services.

Here are the top fantasy football waiver wire: Week 4 players to target—also, a recommended FAAB value to spend.

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

De’Von Achane (RB) Miami Dolphins (50%+ FAAB) – Sunday’s trouncing of the Broncos looked like a Tecmo Super Bowl performance versus the computer. We talked about Achane’s big-play ability in our Rookie Scouting Profile. However, even we didn’t see this performance coming. Achane turned 22 touches into 233 yards and four touchdowns on Sunday. Obviously, that won’t happen again. But Achane will stay involved. If he happens to be available in your league, don’t let another manager outbid you.

Zack Moss (RB) Indianapolis Colts (20% FAAB) – Moss headlined our Week 3 waiver wire piece. The veteran came through with another outstanding performance in Baltimore. However, the looming return of Jonathan Taylor complicates things. On one hand, Taylor could make Moss irrelevant. However, if Taylor is traded or doesn’t get activated, Moss offers RB2 ability for the rest of the season. If people were sleeping last week and failed to add Moss, be prepared to make a sizable bid to take that chance.

Tank Dell (WR) Houston Texans…

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 3

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 3

It’s always a good idea to proceed with caution on your waiver wire after Week 1. Of course, every once in a while a Puka Nacua comes around and destroys that approach. That’s unlikely this week. However, there are still plenty of appealing options on the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 3.

Here are the top fantasy football waiver wire: Week 3 players to target—also, a recommended FAAB value to spend.

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Zack Moss (RB) Indianapolis Colts (12% FAAB) – After missing Week 1, Moss did a hostile takeover of the Indianapolis backfield. He was the only Colts’ running back to see the field in Houston. Moss logged 56-of-57 snaps and turned 22 touches into 107 scrimmage yards and a score. Deon Jackson didn’t log one snap. Also, we know Jonathan Taylor will miss a minimum of two more games. That puts Moss in a position to compile RB2 numbers for at least two weeks. However, a matchup against Tennessee’s tough run D next week looms, so keep bids reasonable.

Tutu Atwell (WR) Los Angeles Rams (10% FAAB) – I advocated for prioritizing Puka Nacua last week. In retrospect, 20% FAAB wasn’t nearly enough for Nacua, who is making headlines. Conversely, Tutu Atwell is flying under the radar. However, he’s quietly been nearly as good. Atwell is the WR15 headed into Monday Night Football. He’s top 10 in catches and yards through two games. I don’t expect this kind of production to continue, but…

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 2

We’re only one week into the 2023 season and there is already plenty of turmoil. It isn’t time to hit the panic button quite yet. However, using FullTime‘s Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 2 to beef up your roster is always a good idea.

Scoring was down across the league in Week 1. There were also plenty of injuries to account for. While blowing your entire FAAB budget after one week is inadvisable, it’s always advisable to be proactive.

Here are the top fantasy football waiver wire: Week 2 players to target—also, a recommended FAAB value to spend.

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Kenneth Gainwell (RB) Philadelphia Eagles (25% FAAB) – Rashaad Penny was a healthy scratch. D’Andre Swift only logged two touches. For now, this is Kenny Gainwell’s backfield. We saw that play out in preseason and that’s how the regular season opened. However, Gainwell is rostered in about half of the fantasy leagues. Where he’s available, view Gainwell as the top waive priority this week as an RB2 in an elite offense.

Puka Nacua (WR) Los Angeles Rams (20% FAAB) – Cooper who? Fifth-round rookie wideout Puka Nacua drew a lot of hype this summer. And that came to fruition in Week 1. Nacua caught 10-of-15 targets for 119 yards in the Rams’ upset win. Nacua did a phenomenal Cooper Kupp impression, making plays all over the field. Subsequently, he warrants an aggressive FFAB bid as a weekly WR2/3 moving forward. Tutu Atwell (4% FAAB) matched Nacua with 119 receiving yards. However, the Rams are highly unlikely to repeat that kind of volume consistently.

Justice Hill (RB) Baltimore Ravens (20% FAAB) – And just like that, J.K. Dobbins is done for the season. Hill was already projected to be more involved in Baltimore’s new offense. But, those two goal-line touchdown runs were a nice surprise. I expect the Ravens to employ a committee with Hill and Gus Edwards moving forward. However, with his pass-catching ability, Hill should be the more highly coveted add…

Week 17. This is it. If you are reading a Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 17 article, that means you made it to the championship game. All that effort paid off. Congratulations! Only one more win to go.

Of course, there is added pressure this week. However, by in large, you don’t want to overanalyze things. Especially at this point. Stick with the guys who got you here. Use the fantasy football waiver wire Week 17 as a guide to boost your bench or if you need a last-minute injury replacement.

There are no Saturday games this week. There would be no better way to ring in the new year than with one final victory. Good luck to all!

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Tyler Allgier (RB) Atlanta Falcons – Allgeier is almost certainly rostered in your league, but if you’re in an ESPN league that’s been asleep at the wheel, the rookie back could still be on the wire. With back-to-back RB1 performances, Allgeier should be the priority add in any league that he can still be added for free.

Jahan Dotson (WR) Washington Commanders – Dotson has been one of the hottest receivers in football since Week 13. The first-round rookie has scored in three straight games. Plus, he’s averaing eight targets, 78.3 yards, and 18.8 PPR points per game during the stretch. Additionally…

Reading a Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 16 piece means you won your playoff matchup. Congratulations on advancing. Now, there are just two more wins to get.

At this point, FAAB no longer applies. Waivers are strictly a do-or-die proposition. Let’s look at the free agents you should target ahead of Week 16.

Note: 11 NFL games are scheduled on Saturday in Week 16. Only 3 games take place on Sunday.

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Zack Moss (RB) Indianapolis Colts – After Jonathan Taylor exited Week 15’s loss with an ankle injury, Moss racked up 24 carries. Taylor is expected to miss the rest of the season. That puts Moss in line to lead a committee backfield. However, Moss only averaged 3.4 yards per tote and received a single target. Moss is definitely worth an add but expectations should be tempered.

Juwan Johnson (TE) New Orleans Saints – After a 2-week absence (one was a bye) Johnson housed two more touchdowns and hauled in 4-of-6 targets for 67 yards on Sunday. Johnson now ranks second among all NFL tight ends with seven TDs. He also enters Week 16 as…

If you’re reading a waiver wire piece in Week 15 that means you made the playoffs. Congratulations on overcoming the turbulent 2022 season. Our Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 15 can help you reinforce your roster for the postseason tournament.

FAAB recommendations are trickier at this point when every game is do-or-die. So, let’s concentrate more on viable players in good positions to produce in Week 15. And as a reminder, there are 3 NFL games this Saturday.

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

D.J. Chark (WR) Detroit Lions (15% FAAB) – Chark was mentioned as a pick-up last week and more than delivered. One week after a very good 5/98/0 line against Jacksonville, Chark had his best fantasy outing of the season versus Minnesota. Chark led the Lions in catches and yards and ran a route on every one of his 37 snaps. Also, Chark is clearly healthy and playing lights out at the right time. If the fifth-year player is still available in your league, he’s a must-add for the playoff run. Nice call, Billy!

Jerick McKinnon (RB) Kansas City Chiefs (12% FAAB) – McKinnon’s usage has been hard to predict from week to week. However, he has played a consistent role as the preferred pass-catching back. McKinnon is coming off his best fantasy outing of the season, turning 13 touches into 134 yards and two TDs. This week, Kansas City travels to Houston to take on the league’s worst run defense. With 8-12 touches versus the Texans…

For many fantasy football managers, the playoffs have arrived. Congratulations on making it this far! Our Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 14 will help you re-enforce your roster for these must-win games.

Complicating matters this week is that six teams are on bye. The free-agent stakes have never been higher. Here are the top fantasy-relevant, low-rostered Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 14 free agents to target with FAAB recommendations.

Week 14 byes: Atlanta, Green Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Washington

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Zonovan Knight (RB) New York Jets (15% FAAB) – Although Michael Carter‘s inevitable return could complicate things, Zonovan Knight has earned a significant role in New York’s backfield. Knight has topped 100 scrimmage yards in back-to-back games. Also, the undrafted rookie is averaging a robust 5.97 yards per touch. Regardless of Carter’s status, Knight is the best bet to lead New York’s backfield down the stretch. And that makes the unheralded first-year back a waiver wire priority.

James Cook (RB) Buffalo Bills (10% FAAB) – Cook broke out last Thursday, logging a 41% snap share and turning 20 touches into 105 scrimmage yards. Those touches included a career-high 6 receptions. That’s an area that Cook excels and the Bills don’t seem too enamored with Devin Singletary. Also, the Bills rank 8th in rushing and Cook should have plenty of opportunities to produce down the stretch. Plus, Buffalo has a very favorable playoff (Weeks 15-16) schedule for running backs per FullTime Fantasy’s Strength of Schedule Tool.

**James Cooks could thrive with a top-10 RB schedule in Weeks 15-16.**
