Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stash Targets
Running Back Stash Candidates
I’m not so sure Jamaal Williams has much of a job to return to in Week 7. Alvin Kamara has looked fresh and explosive, while rookie Kendre Miller brings a home run aspect sorely missed in the Saints offense. I prefer the rookie, especially if he looks good versus the Texans this week.
Wide Receiver Stash Candidates
Marvin Mims continues to split work with Brandon Johnson for some reason. Make it make sense, Sean Payton. I don’t get it, but that’s where we are. Mims’ per-route metrics continue to be insane. He is a priority stash who could be a stretch-run league winner if Payton ever gets out of the talented rookie’s way.
Jayden Reed is another talented, must-stash rookie. While he remains in a capped snap role as the Packer’s slot receiver, that hasn’t stopped him from posting fantastic per-route numbers. Entering Week 5, among 139 wide receivers, Reed ranked 29th in target per route run rate, 28th in fantasy points per route run and 30th in yards per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). His weekly target volume is worrisome, but his talent is not.
