It’s important to know the top waiver wire targets for each week of the fantasy football season.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stash Targets
Running Back 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.
Wide Receiver Stash Candidates:
Curtis Samuel has been dealing with a toe issue that forced him to miss Week 9. It’s time to consider stashing him before he returns to the lineup. His stretch-run matchups are the chef’s kiss for slot receivers. In Weeks 12, 13 & 15, he faces three secondaries (Cowboys, Dolphins, Rams) that all rank inside the top 13 in PPR points per target (fifth, 11th, 13th) allowed to slot receivers (per Fantasy Points Data).
The Browns have needed a competent WR2 to step up. Elijah Moore has not been up to the task. Cedric Tillman could be that guy. If Deshaun Watson can regain any semblance of his former passing prowess, Tillman could take advantage of some juicy upcoming matchups against the Steelers, Broncos, Rams, Jaguars, Bears and Texans.
