Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups to Target

Darrell Henderson (LAR – RB): 24% rostered

• Next Opponents: @DAL, @GB, BYE
• True value: $22
• Desperate need: $33
• Budget-minded: $12

Analysis: The Rams’ former starting RB was back in his familiar role in Week 7 against the Steelers. He carried the ball 18 times for 61 yards and found the end zone in his first game of the season. Fellow newcomer Royce Freeman was second fiddle with 12 carries, while rookie FAAB burglar Zach Evans was not a factor. With at least three more weeks without Kyren Williams, Henderson will be one of the hottest waiver pickups this week. Don’t go crazy, but wager aggressively if you have a pressing RB need.

Josh Downs (IND – WR): 36% rostered

• Next Opponents: NO, @CAR, @NE
• True value: $4
• Desperate need: $8
• Budget-minded: $2

Analysis: Over the last three weeks, Downs has been balling, with a 19.7% target share and 2.50 yards per route run (per PFF). Downs should be able to keep the monument going over the next three games. New Orleans has allowed the ninth-most receiving yards to opposing slot wide receivers, while the Patriots have given up the sixth-highest PPR points per target (per Fantasy Points Data). Downs will compete weekly for the team lead in targets with Michael Pittman as a WR3/4 that can produce WR2 spike weeks.

Kyler Murray (ARI – QB): 42% rostered

• Next Opponents: BAL, @CLE, ATL
• True value: $15
• Desperate need: $24
• Budget-minded: $8

Analysis: The practice window for Kyler Murray is open to return from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. It couldn’t have come at a better time for the putrid Cardinals, who have seen gritty Joshua Dobbs turn back into a pumpkin. Yes, you should pick up Murray off waivers. He is a matchup-proof fantasy superstar. I am also excited to see him work in an actual NFL offensive scheme, instead of a gimmicky high school joke as with former Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury. The next three games for Arizona are against very tough defenses, but I’m not worried.

Dalton Kincaid (BUF – TE): 42% rostered

• Next Opponents: TB, @CIN, DEN
• True value: $8
• Desperate need: $10
• Budget-minded: $6

Analysis: I know it has been frustrating if you drafted Dalton Kincaid this season in the later rounds instead of similarly priced rookie TE flier Sam LaPorta. That isn’t Kincaid’s fault, though. He is an incredibly talented rookie who has been splitting time with Dawson Knox, and while that didn’t change this week from a snap and route perspective, Kincaid did finally get a featured role in the passing game when on the field. He finished second on the team with eight targets (19.5% target share), as he led the team in receiving yards. I’m not rushing to plug Kincaid into lineups this week against Tampa Bay, but Cincinnati and Denver are smash spots in Weeks 9-10. The Bengals and Broncos are eighth and first in fantasy points per game allowed to tight ends. Kincaid could be a stretch-run difference-maker if the Bills commit to making him the No. 2 in this offense behind Stefon Diggs.
