Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets
Zach Charbonnet (SEA): 45% rostered
- Next Opponents: @LAR, SF, @DAL
- True value: $9
- Desperate need: $16
- Budget-minded: $5
Analysis: While I do believe the Seahawks will continue to feature both Kenneth Walker and Charbonnet, their next three games are all against stout run defenses. I still like the UCLA rookie to get enough action to warrant a weekly flex start. His four receptions in Week 10 were just as refreshing to see as his nearly eight yards per carry. Charbonnet is going to be the centerpiece of a bunch of championship fantasy teams.
Tyjae Spears (TEN): 40% rostered
- Next Opponents: @JAX, CAR, IND
- True value: $8
- Desperate need: $15
- Budget-minded: $4
Analysis: Sunday saw another nine touches for Tulane rookie Tyjae Spears. He hauled in four receptions for the second consecutive game and ended up with 60 yards from scrimmage. Derrick Henry was completely bottled up, and Tennessee struggled on offense with Will Levis under center. With as many points as the Titans have been surrendering, frequently putting them into pass-heavy game scripts, Spears figures to remain a fringe flex starter or at worst a premium stash.
Leonard Fournette (BUF): 24% rostered
- Next Opponents: NYJ, @PHI, BYE
- True value: $6
- Desperate need: $11
- Budget-minded: $3
Analysis: Be patient. This is fantasy playoffs Lenny. Fournette is going to ball out for Buffalo once activated, and you’ll regret not landing him while he’s easy to afford. Latavius Murray was a huge swing and a miss by the Bills, and it won’t take long for Fournette to assume a large role filled with high-leverage opportunities.
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.
