Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets

WIDE RECEIVERS

Written by Derek Brown

Tutu Atwell (LAR): 25% rostered

• Next Opponents: @CIN, @IND, PHI
• True value: $5
• Desperate Need: $8
• Budget-minded: $2

Analysis: After two games, Atwell has been a key cog in the Rams’ passing attack. He’s drawn an 18.2% target share as the clear running mate with Puka Nacua. Atwell has surpassed 70 receiving yards in each game with a strong 2.08 yards per route run. When (if) Cooper Kupp comes back, Atwell could get bumped from the starting lineup, but it’s also possible he sends Van Jefferson to the pine. Until Kupp comes back, Atwell is a weekly WR3/4 with WR2 upside. He’s been impressive with strong route running and a knack for finding the soft spots in zone coverage.

Tank Dell (HOU): 5% rostered

• Next Opponents: @JAX, PIT, @ATL
• True value: $5
• Desperate Need: $8
• Budget-minded: $2

Analysis: A Thor Nystrom favorite makes the list this week. C.J. Stroud pounded the table for Dell once Stroud was picked by the Texans. Stroud made their connection well-known this week. In his first game in the starting lineup, Dell led the team with a 21.2% target share, as he amassed 72 receiving yards and a score. Despite his 5-8, 165-pound frame, Dell has been playing boundary wide receiver since the preseason. Don’t let his size fool you, though, as Dell has the footwork and speed releases to win from the outside. With Noah Brown on IR, Robert Woods moved inside, as Dell was Nico Collins‘ tag-team partner on the boundary. Dell had a 95% route participation mark with 1.6 YPRR. Collins has looked amazing so far, but don’t dismiss Dell from giving Collins a run for his money weekly for the team lead in every category. Dell could evolve into a weekly WR3 and the future WR1 for Houston.

Rashid Shaheed (NO): 51% rostered

• Next Opponents: @GB, TB, @NE
• True value: $5
• Desperate Need: $8
• Budget-minded: $2

Analysis: Shaheed came on strong down the stretch last season, flashing impressive route-running chops and blinding speed. These skills helped him finish third in yards per route run last season and 24th in receiving grade (per PFF). Shaheed enters Week 2 on the heels of a banner performance in the season’s opening week. Shaheed finished Week 1 with an 18.1% target share and 3.56 yards per route run (89 receiving yards) while chipping in two rushing attempts (11 rushing yards). Shaheed falls into the WR4 bucket with weekly WR2/3 upside.

Jayden Reed (GB): 10% rostered

• Next Opponents: NO, DET, @LV
• True value: $4
• Desperate Need: $6
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Reed’s underlying metrics this week were sexy on a per-route basis, but his overall usage is concerning. He only played 54% of snaps while logging 72% route participation. Green Bay remains reluctant to hand him an every-down role. Romeo Doubs led the wide receiver room with a 76% snap share this week, so this could just be their current philosophy with these young pass catchers. The Packers could prefer a rotation in the early going. Reed was immensely productive when on the field, with a 32% target share, 44% TPRR and 2.05 yards per route run. Yes, I have to mention his two touchdowns, but touchdowns are fluky, so we can’t get married to that as the primary reason for picking up or avoiding a player. Reed has flashed the talent in back-to-back games to become the WR2 opposite Christian Watson when he returns, but he still has to hop Doubs to get there.

Skyy Moore (KC): 49% rostered

• Next Opponents: CHI, @NYJ, @MIN
• True value: $3
• Desperate Need: $5
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Moore is borderline fool’s gold. While he led the team with 70 receiving yards (one touchdown) and finished with 2.1 YPRR, the rest of Moore’s metrics are gruesome. I don’t like to do this, but it has to be mentioned that 54 of his receiving yards came on one play. Moore only played 63% of the snaps this week and drew a 9.7% target share. I would love to wax poetic here and praise Moore, but the deeper usage trends look exactly the same for a player who flopped in Week 1. The Chiefs badly want Moore to be a thing as they continue giving him opportunities, but I doubt at this juncture if he has the talent to earn more work as the season progresses. If he’s out there on the wire, he’s worth a pickup, but don’t start him at this point.

Josh Reynolds (DET): 12% rostered

• Next Opponents: ATL, @GB, CAR
• True value: $3
• Desperate Need: $5
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Reynolds has run hot through two games. In Week 1, he led the team with 80 receiving yards; this week, he had 66 receiving yards and a pair of scores. Reynolds remains a matchup-based WR4/5. I won’t ignore his 2.47 yards per route run after two weeks, but his 14.2% target share better indicates his role and talent level. If you’re stuck in an injury pinch or with bye weeks upcoming, Reynolds is not the worst WR3 or flex play you can roll out there. I wouldn’t value him higher than that tier, though.

Stash Candidates:

• Calvin Austin
• Jalin Hyatt
• Marvin Mims

The Steelers are banged up. Diontae Johnson is sidelined, and now George Pickens is on the injury report. At this point in his career, Allen Robinson‘s ability to carry a passing attack is in question. I’m not saying Austin could do it, but in Week 1, he posted a 69.3 receiving grade while playing 86% of his snaps on the perimeter (per PFF). Austin is worth stashing if you have the bench room, because he easily could be the team’s de facto WR1 in the coming weeks if Pittsburgh’s pass catchers continue to drop like flies.

Jalin Hyatt has speed that you can’t teach. While his 89 receiving yards in Week 2 were sexy, don’t get lost in the speed sauce. Hyatt only drew two targets. He just managed to make the most of those looks. His 32.4% route participation is also worrisome, but the Giants desperately need a pass catcher to step up and make plays opposite Darren Waller. If everything breaks right for him, Hyatt could eventually be that guy, so stash him now if you can.

Speaking of speed, Marvin Mims had a very Hyatt-like stat line in Week 2. He secured each of his two targets for 113 receiving yards. He made his receptions count with 53 and 60 yards from each. Like Hyatt, Mims isn’t anywhere close to being a full-time starter. In Week 2, he played 24% of the snaps with an 18.7% route participation mark. These numbers are dreadful, but if Mims keeps flashing, he can continue to earn more work in this offense. Stash rookies now before it’s too late, because they can be stretch-run difference-makers.
