Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets

Zay Jones (JAX): 18% rostered

• Next Opponents: @HOU, CIN, @CLE
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: $2
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Jones finally returned to the starting lineup in Week 11, playing 69% of the snaps while drawing a 12.5% target share. If his health continues to improve, Jones should see his snap share continue to climb. Jones has flex viability in Week 12 against the Texans, who since Week 6 have allowed the second-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers (per Fantasy Points Data). Jones is live to secure a touchdown in this game, as his red-zone rapport with Trevor Lawrence has been well-documented over the last two seasons.

Jordan Love (GB): 46% rostered

• Next Opponents: @DET, KC, @NYG
• True value: $5
• Desperate need: $9
• Budget-minded: $3

Analysis: Love was much better in Week 11 than he’s been in most of his starts this season, albeit against a very suspect Chargers defense. He gets the Lions on Thanksgiving, which isn’t a terrible opportunity to score some good fantasy points. Green Bay’s offense has gone as Love has, which is extremely streaky. The potential loss of Aaron Jones could mean a more pass-heavy approach for a 4-6 team trying to claw its way back into the playoff race.

Matthew Stafford (LAR): 47% rostered

• Next Opponents: @ARI, CLE, @BAL
• True value: $4
• Desperate need: $7
• Budget-minded: $2

Analysis: Stafford looked a bit out of sorts in his return to action on Sunday, only tallying 9 fantasy points in a narrow win over Seattle. Streaming him against the Cardinals is smart because Arizona runs quarters coverage a lot, which is susceptible to the underneath game with WRs Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. Add in Kyren Williams‘ expected return from IR, and Stafford is a solid one-week rental.

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.
