Waiver Wire Replacements to Target

Matthew Stafford (LAR): 41% rostered

  • Next Opponents: SEA, @ARI, CLE
  • True value: $5
  • Desperate need: $9
  • Budget-minded: $2

Analysis: Shame on me for believing the optimism in Sean McVay’s voice regarding Matthew Stafford‘s availability in Week 11. The next two games for Los Angeles after their bye are an appetizing opportunity to stream Stafford. Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua need their QB back.

Russell Wilson (DEN): 46% rostered

  • Next Opponents: MIN, CLE, @HOU
  • True value: $4
  • Desperate need: $8
  • Budget-minded: $2

Analysis: Part of Denver’s resurgence can be directly attributed to Wilson’s performance. The Broncos have only faced three teams in the bottom third of the league at defending QBs. Wilson has averaged more than 22 fantasy points in those games. Minnesota in Week 11 offers the first of those favorable matchups since Week 4, making Russ a great one-game fantasy rental.

Jordan Love (GB): 43% rostered

  • Next Opponents: LAC, @DET, KC
  • True value: $3
  • Desperate need: $6
  • Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Love began this season with three 20-point fantasy performances. He hasn’t cracked that number since. That is likely to change in the next two games. The Chargers and Lions are both shootout games waiting to happen, and nobody denies Love’s penchant for big plays. It has been the long stretches of abysmal production and frequent instances of poor decision-making that have scared everyone off of Love in fantasy. Don’t be afraid to take an upside shot on Love for a couple of weeks.
