Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets

QUARTERBACKS

Written by Bo McBrayer

Sam Howell (WAS): 20% rostered

• Next Opponents: BUF, @PHI, CHI
• True value: $8
• Desperate Need: $14
• Budget-minded: $4

Analysis: More respect better start flying around Sam Howell‘s name after yet another stellar fantasy performance, this time on the road in Denver. He makes good throws. He has good mobility and weapons. His relationship with offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy is blossoming into something special. Don’t be late to the party; grab this year’s Geno Smith while you still can.

Matthew Stafford (LAR): 35% rostered

• Next Opponents: @CIN, @IND, PHI
• True value: $6
• Desperate Need: $11
• Budget-minded: $3

Analysis: Rumors of Matthew Stafford‘s demise may have been premature. His arm is back to Howitzer strength, and despite missing Cooper Kupp, Stafford has developed a strong bond with his younger receivers. Puka Nacua is proving to be a very reliable chain mover, and Tutu Atwell has been good on deep and intermediate routes. Look for Stafford to continue his pass-happy ways up to and beyond Kupp’s return.

Derek Carr (NO): 40% rostered

• Next Opponents: @GB, TB, @NE
• True value: $5
• Desperate Need: $8
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: The Saints have the easiest schedule in the league, so you will rarely run into a matchup that will make you feel as if you can’t possibly start Carr that week. The veteran quarterback is also blessed with an abundance of pass-catching talent, including Chris Olave, Michael Thomas, Rashid Shaheed and, soon, Alvin Kamara.

C.J. Stroud (HOU): 9% rostered

• Next Opponents: @JAX, PIT, @ATL
• True value: $5
• Desperate Need: $11
• Budget-minded: $2

Analysis: An early surprise to some has been Houston’s inability to get Dameon Pierce going on the ground so far. Less shocking is C.J. Stroud‘s rapid development as a high-level passer. His 384 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns versus Indy in Week 2 doesn’t just pay the bills. With a trio of gettable defenses coming up, there’s a very strong argument for riding with Stroud as he climbs the rankings.
