Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets

Derek Carr (NO): 25% rostered

Next Opponents: JAX, @IND, CHI
True value: $9
Desperate need: $15
Budget-minded: $4

Analysis: You won’t find a softer four-game stretch for a streaming QB than what Derek Carr faces in Weeks 7-10. Although Carr seems allergic to scoring touchdowns in the red zone, he should break out of his mediocre streak of production during a pivotal stretch of the fantasy season.

Sam Howell (WAS): 38% rostered

Next Opponents: @NYG, PHI, @NE
True value: $8
Desperate need: $14
Budget-minded: $4

Analysis: What are you waiting for? Howell has now posted consecutive QB1 performances and has two more appealing matchups on the horizon. If you throw away the disaster against Buffalo, Howell is among the most consistently good QBs in fantasy football this season.

Baker Mayfield (TB): 28% rostered

Next Opponents: ATL, @BUF, @HOU
True value: $5
Desperate need: $9
Budget-minded: $2

Analysis: For the budget-savvy QB streaming manager, Baker Mayfield is a nice one-week plug against Atlanta. Sam Howell just tossed a trio of touchdowns vs. the Falcons, and Mayfield’s season has been better than expected for Tampa Bay. Some other names on the streaming wire face brutal matchups in Week 7 (Desmond Ridder, Gardner Minshew), so I’ll go with my gut and roll with Baker one time.

Joshua Dobbs (ARI): 15% rostered

Next Opponents: @SEA, BAL, @CLE
True value: $2
Desperate need: $4
Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Dobbs entered Week 6 as the QB16 in fantasy scoring, and while he didn’t produce any touchdowns against the Rams on Sunday, he did manage to throw for 235 yards and run for another 47. If you’re in a pinch, Dobbs is a palatable Week 7 option against a Seattle defense that entered Week 6 having given up the 11th-most fantasy points per game to QBs.
