Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stash Targets
Stash Candidates:
Between Jamaal Williams and Kendre Miller, I much prefer the rookie from TCU. Miller is a better receiver and can stress defenses on the edge, while Williams is more of a short-yardage plodder at this stage. Neither is getting much work behind superstar Alvin Kamara, so they’ve earned just a stash tag going forward.
Elijah Mitchell is a very good RB. His struggles have only been with staying healthy and with Kyle Shanahan’s complete disregard for managing Christian McCaffrey‘s workload. Where I certainly do not hope CMC misses any time, San Francisco is playing with fire. Mitchell would be a back-end RB1 if McCaffrey were to go down.
Stash Candidates:
Consider stashing Wilson now. With Kyler Murray‘s return on the horizon, Wilson’s best days of the 2023 season could be ahead of him. The remainder of the Cardinals’ schedule is littered with zone-coverage-heavy teams, which should help Wilson. He has been an afterthought in this passing offense against man coverage, but against zone, he entered Week 8 with a 14.4% target share and 2.28 yards per route run. Those are solid if not flex-worthy, numbers. If Murray can breathe life into this aerial attack, Wilson could be a solid stretch-run addition to your roster.
