Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets
Keaton Mitchell (BAL): 4% rostered
- Next Opponents: CLE, CIN, @LAC
- True value: $16
- Desperate need: $27
- Budget-minded: $10
Analysis: Remember another speedy back from East Carolina, Chris “CJ2K” Johnson? Keaton Mitchell exploded for 138 yards on nine attempts Sunday against the Seahawks and housed a 40-yard run. This is another exciting rookie breathing life into a stagnant waiver wire. He will be a serious candidate to supplant Justice Hill as the lightning to Gus Edwards‘ thunder.
Leonard Fournette (BUF): 31% rostered
- Next Opponents: DEN, NYJ, @PHI
- True value: $14
- Desperate need: $23
- Budget-minded: $8
Analysis: Leonard Fournette wasn’t just lounging around before finally signing with Buffalo last week. Lenny looks spry and dangerous. Buffalo desperately needs a better back than Latavius Murray to balance with James Cook and spare Josh Allen some punishment in short-yardage scenarios. I will be aggressive to acquire the underrated vet, who’s been a productive pass catcher in recent years.
Zach Charbonnet (SEA): 45% rostered
- Next Opponents: WAS, @LAR, SF
- True value: $8
- Desperate need: $14
- Budget-minded: $4
Analysis: It was a miserable day for the Seahawks on Sunday against the Ravens. Charbonnet out-touched Kenneth Walker for the second-consecutive game but only managed 13 yards from scrimmage on five touches. Calmer seas are not ahead on the schedule, but the UCLA product is more than a simple stash as long as he sees the field this often. The question is whether the uptick in Charbonnet’s usage will last, or if it’s temporary because of the calf issue Kenneth Walker has been dealing with.
Jaleel McLaughlin (DEN): 29% rostered
- Next Opponents: @BUF, MIN, CLE
- True value: $7
- Desperate need: $13
- Budget-minded: $3
Analysis: Similar to Mitchell, an explosive undrafted rookie RB has dislodged a veteran from his role through his performance. Jaleel McLaughlin has left Samaje Perine in the dust behind Javonte Williams on the Broncos depth chart. The upcoming schedule is anything but favorable for McLaughlin, so don’t go overboard.
Antonio Gibson (WAS): 45% rostered
- Next Opponents: @SEA, NYG, @DAL
- True value: $7
- Desperate need: $12
- Budget-minded: $3
Analysis: I am torn on Gibson. On one hand, he is a stellar pass catcher and can be a PPR weapon, as he was in Week 9. The other side of the coin is the inconvenience he seems to be to Washington OC Eric Bieniemy’s run game. Most serious fantasy leagues will have Gibson rostered and wallowing on the bench. In more casual leagues, you’d have to be in dire need of a warm body at RB to entrust him with a roster spot.
Roschon Johnson (CHI): 43% rostered
- Next Opponents: CAR, @DET, @MIN
- True value: $6
- Desperate need: $11
- Budget-minded: $3
Analysis: The Bears have run the ball well this season. Unfortunately, it has been with the muddiest committee in the league. Outstanding rookie Roschon Johnson only earned three touches in Chicago’s Week 9 loss to New Orleans. He was overshadowed by D’Onta Foreman and Darrynton Evans, which is troubling. I still want a piece of this backfield, and Roschon is easily the most talented one here.
Stash Candidates:
Ty Chandler was relegated briefly when the Vikings acquired Cam Akers from the Rams. Unfortunately, Akers suffered another Achilles injury on Sunday, putting the explosive young RB from North Carolina squarely back into the fray. I have long believed Chandler to be a better player than starter Alexander Mattison, so this is a sneaky stash indeed.
Rico Dowdle has been my preferred deep stash all season. He has rotated in for Tony Pollard and returned kickoffs to stay fresh. Pollard has also underwhelmed this season, giving Mike McCarthy some cause to employ more of a “hot hand” approach if he chooses.
Kenneth Gainwell and Tyjae Spears both have defined roles in their respective offenses that offer sporadic start-worthy production. Those roles would also stand to grow in case of an injury to the starter.
Kendre Miller is an intriguing stash behind Alvin Kamara. The rookie from TCU has seemingly broken a big play every week, even if his opportunities have been fleeting.
Elijah Mitchell is a pure stash. He would assume a monster role if anything ever happened to Christian McCaffrey, but Mitchell sits as cold as a corpse on the sideline with the future Hall of Famer CMC rolling like he is.
