Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets

Michael Mayer (LV): 10% rostered

• Next Opponents: @MIA, KC, BYE
• True value: $2
• Desperate need: $4
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Mayer has been relatively quiet since his Week 6 breakout game, as the team has been in transition. The Raiders have transformed from a pass-happy squad to a run-centric offense, which isn’t great for every receiving option not named Davante Adams. Mayer saw an 18.5% target share in Week 10 and scored, but that target share only amounted to five targets. Mayer is a touchdown-or-bust streaming option at this point, but this week’s matchup offers reason to have hope and stream him. Miami has allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game and the seventh-most receiving yards to tight ends.

Luke Musgrave (GB): 23% rostered

• Next Opponents: LAC, @DET, KC
• True value: $2
• Desperate need: $4
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Musgrave has now stacked back-to-back games with at least 51 receiving yards. The target volume still isn’t great, as he has only averaged four targets over his last two games, but his upcoming matchups make him a lively streaming option. The Chargers and Lions have allowed the 10th-most and the fifth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Tyler Conklin (NYJ): 11% rostered

• Next Opponents: @BUF, MIA, ATL
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: $2
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Conklin is coming off arguably his best game of the season with seven grabs and 70 receiving yards, which are both season highs. Volume has been relatively stable for Conklin, as he now has four games this season with at least six targets. Even as a one-week streaming option, Conklin has some intrigue this week against Buffalo, who, since Week 5, has allowed the 10th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Daniel Bellinger (NYG): 1% rostered

• Next Opponents: @WAS, NE, BYE
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: $2
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Bellinger makes this list as a deep league or desperation streaming option because of his Week 11 matchup. Yes, I know it’s gross, but hey, welcome to the TE position in 2023. Bellinger has had at least 34 receiving yards in each of his last two games. If you stack a touchdown on top of either of those weeks, he could have put up low-end TE1 numbers. Bellinger could be end zone dancing this week against the Commanders, who since Week 5 have allowed the third-most fantasy points per game and the most receiving touchdowns per game to tight ends.

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.
