Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets

Zach Charbonnet (SEA): 44% rostered

• Next Opponents: SF, @DAL, @SF
• True value: $24
• Desperate need: $33
• Budget-minded: $14

Analysis: Despite a brutal upcoming schedule, Zach Charbonnet is a high-value addition off waivers where available. Kenneth Walker left Sunday’s game with an oblique injury, leaving the rookie from UCLA as the main back in Seattle. He is a reliable receiver, as he hauled in six receptions in the loss for 22 yards. A second-round pick out of UCLA, the 6-1, 214-pound Charbonnet should be capable of handling a heavy workload while Walker is out.

Ty Chandler (MIN): 44% rostered

• Next Opponents: CHI, BYE, @LV
• True value: $18
• Desperate need: $27
• Budget-minded: $11

Analysis: The Vikings’ weird infatuation with running Alexander Mattison is bordering on malpractice. Chandler is a better football player across the board and has proven it ever since Cam Akers was lost to a ruptured Achilles. I believe the second-year back from North Carolina could be a fantasy league winner. I want him on every team I can get him.

Jaleel McLaughlin (DEN): 19% rostered

• Next Opponents: CLE, @HOU, @LAC
• True value: $7
• Desperate need: $11
• Budget-minded: $3

Analysis: Don’t look now, but the Broncos have looked pretty good since the inauspicious start to the Sean Payton era. An undrafted rookie from Youngstown State, McLaughlin has been a spark plug for the Denver offense as a change of pace to Javonte Williams. This is especially true in the receiving game, where McLaughlin has mostly supplanted veteran Samaje Perine. Don’t break the bank, but add the rookie as a flex-worthy depth piece for the stretch run.

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.
