Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets

Keaton Mitchell (BAL): 47% rostered

• Next Opponents: CIN, @LAC, BYE
• True value: $16
• Desperate need: $25
• Budget-minded: $10

Analysis: Despite only garnering four touches in Baltimore’s shocking loss to Cleveland in Week 10, rookie Keaton Mitchell racked up 66 yards and a touchdown. The explosiveness continues to be on display, albeit still blotted out by Gus Edwards‘ heavy share of the backfield. Mitchell has usurped Justice Hill as the team’s preferred scatback, so don’t miss your last chance to find him on the wire.

Ty Chandler (MIN): 8% rostered

• Next Opponents: @DEN, CHI, BYE
• True value: $13
• Desperate need: $21
• Budget-minded: $7

Analysis: I’ve been crowing for Chandler since the Vikings drafted him out of North Carolina in 2022. It appears head coach Kevin O’Connell may have finally realized that Chandler is better than Alexander Mattison. Chandler and Mattison both had eight carries when Mattison left the game with an apparent concussion. Minnesota is rolling right now with Joshua Dobbs at quarterback, and having a home run hitter like Chandler at RB is exactly what they need. I’m bidding aggressively to roster him wherever I don’t already have him stashed. Chandler could not have a better opportunity to smash than with the next two games versus Denver and Chicago.

Devin Singletary (HOU): 50% rostered

• Next Opponents: ARI, JAX, DEN
• True value: $10
• Desperate need: $17
• Budget-minded: $5

Analysis: It was a career performance for Devin Singletary on Sunday. Houston didn’t miss Dameon Pierce at all, giving the Florida Atlantic grad all 30 RB carries for 150 yards and a touchdown. Singletary paid homage to fellow Owl Alfred Morris with the home run swing celebration once he found the end zone. While I certainly don’t expect another monster game from the veteran back, the eventual return of Dameon Pierce does not necessarily mean Singletary isn’t a viable fantasy RB going forward. The Texans’ upcoming schedule is certainly favorable to RBs, so bid with some gusto.

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.
