Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets

Joshua Dobbs (ARI): 5% rostered

• Next Opponents: CIN, @LAR, @SEA
• True value: $5
• Desperate need: $9
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: It would have made anyone look loony had they predicted it in the preseason, but the Cardinals aren’t that bad. Journeyman pro and certified genius Josh Dobbs just dropped 23 fantasy points on the vaunted 49ers defense a week after leading his team to victory against the Dallas Cowboys. The Bengals are next, and they haven’t looked good at all this season. Cincinnati also made Ryan Tannehill look good on Sunday. Dobbs looks sharp in this spin-off version of the Kevin Stefanski system, so he’d be the ultimate bargain bin stream start.

Quentin Johnston (LAC): 47% rostered

• Next Opponents: BYE, DAL, @KC
• True value: $6
• Desperate need: $10
• Budget-minded: $4

Analysis: In Johnston’s first game without Mike Williams in the lineup, he played 50% of the snaps with a 12.5% target share, and he ran a route on 22 of Justin Herbert‘s 24 pass attempts. While Johnston’s overall snap share might concern some, he was a full-time player when the team was passing, which is all we should care about. The Chargers have a bye week coming up to further integrate Johnston into this offense. While the early returns have not been promising, we also have to remember that he is a rookie, and we are only four games into the season. While Johnston has not blown up like Puka Nacua or Tank Dell yet, that doesn’t mean he can’t. The offensive environment is amazing, with Johnston catching passes from Herbert and only Josh Palmer to hop in the pecking order. I’m willing to bid aggressively to get exposure to Johnston’s upside. If he hits this season, it will be magical.

Jameson Williams (DET): 32% rostered

• Next Opponents: CAR, @TB, @BAL
• True value: $ 8
• Desperate need: $ 12
• Budget-minded: $ 6

Analysis: Assuming Williams is 100% healthy, he should be a starter in three-receiver sets in short order. Because of suspension and injury, we have not seen the talented former first-round pick on the field very often in his first two NFL seasons. His star might have dimmed for some because of the layoff, but the absence has made my heart grow fonder. Williams enters a thriving offensive ecosystem. Detroit is eighth in yards per game, seventh in explosive passing rate, and 12th in points per game. Williams should be the field stretcher tied to a quarterback who’s currently fifth in deep passing grade and second in deep adjusted completion rate (per PFF). Williams could be a difference-making addition.

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.
