Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets

Roschon Johnson (CHI): 38% rostered

• Next Opponents: @KC, DEN, @WAS
• True value: $17
• Desperate Need: $29
• Budget-minded: $11

Analysis: The inevitable occurred ahead of schedule when D’Onta Foreman was inactive in Week 2, paving the way for stud rookie Roschon Johnson to shoulder a larger workload. Johnson is very well-rounded, and his role as a mop-up checkdown receiver will come in handy with how atrocious the Chicago defense has been.

Chuba Hubbard (CAR): 19% rostered

• Next Opponents: @SEA, MIN, @DET
• True value: $12
• Desperate Need: $22
• Budget-minded: $6

Analysis: Though not exactly the most riveting player to this point in his career, Chuba Hubbard is the clear second man in the Carolina backfield behind Miles Sanders. The Panthers also have one of the most favorable early-season schedules in the NFL. This translates to adding Hubbard for your own depth and plugging him in as a flex starter if the need arises.

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.

Successful In-Season Fantasy Football Management

Once your fantasy football team is drafted, the work is not over. Successful in-season management is crucial to a winning fantasy football season. Here are some tips to help you manage your team effectively throughout the season:

Stay up to date on player news
Keep track of player injuries, suspensions, and other news that may impact their performance. This will help you make informed decisions about which players to start each week.

Monitor the waiver wire
Keep an eye on the waiver wire and be ready to pick up players who may be undervalued or overlooked by other teams. This can provide valuable depth to your roster. Use our waiver wire assistant to view optimal lineups, waiver and trade suggestions, and league analysis.

Analyze matchups
Analyze the upcoming matchups for your players and opponents to determine which players to start in your lineup each week. Look for favorable matchups and take into account the strength of the opposing team’s defense.

Stay active in trades
Be open to trading players with other teams if it will benefit your team. Analyze the potential impact of a trade before making a decision and negotiate with other teams to find a mutually beneficial agreement.

Be prepared for bye weeks
Plan ahead for bye weeks by having backup players ready to fill in for your starters. Avoid having too many players with the same bye week, which can leave your team short-handed.

Don’t overreact to one bad week
Avoid overreacting to one bad week of performance by a player. Take a long-term view of their performance and evaluate their potential moving forward.

Continuously evaluate your roster
Continuously evaluate your roster throughout the season and make adjustments as needed. Be willing to drop underperforming players or make changes to your lineup if necessary.
