With James Connor dealing with an injury, it’s time to look at Emari Demercado as a potential game-changer for your fantasy team. History has shown that Connor has struggled with completing full seasons, making Demercado a valuable asset to consider. With a performance worth noting and Connor’s uncertain health, it’s wise to roster de Marcado with a bid ranging from 7-8%.

Emari Demercado boasts impressive physical attributes and performance statistics, and even with Keaontay Ingram‘s return, he’s poised to make a significant impact.

Justice Hill (RB – BAL)

Tyjae Spears had a career day with 11 touches and a touchdown, making him an intriguing option for fantasy owners. He is an exciting running back prospect with tremendous potential. His impressive stats in explosive run rate, missed tackles forced per attempt, and yards after contact per attempt make him a prime candidate to be a league-winner if he gets the opportunity for 15 to 17 touches per game. Don’t hesitate to aggressively bid on Spears in your fantasy leagues.

Chuba Hubbard (RB – CAR)

Chuba Hubbard is a valuable addition, especially during bye weeks. Available in 60% of leagues, Hubbard can provide much-needed depth to your roster. With rosters thinning due to injuries and bye weeks, playing Hubbard right away is essential.

Ronnie Rivers (RB – LAR)

Consider Ronnie Rivers as a more valuable insurance policy than Cam Akers. Rivers is not competing with other running backs in the Rams and could be a crucial backup option.

Josh Reynolds (WR – DET)

Josh Reynolds is a solid pickup option from the waiver wire this week. With a strong performance last week, including five targets, four catches, and a touchdown, Reynolds has shown potential in previous games as well. Injuries to other wide receivers on the team give him an opportunity to shine. With a favorable upcoming schedule facing Tampa, Baltimore, and Vegas, consider being more aggressive in picking up Reynolds, as he could provide excellent value.

Marvin Mims Jr. (WR – DEN)

Marvin Mims could explode with more playing time. Russell Wilson is playing well, and Mims has impressive per-route metrics.

Gardner Minshew (QB – IND)

Gardner Minshew could be a valuable addition this week due to Anthony Richardson‘s injury. With some tough matchups ahead for Jacksonville, Minshew’s experience in the NFL could make him a solid waiver wire pickup. Keep an eye on him for the weeks to come.
