Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stash Targets
Fantasy Football Running Back Stash Candidates
The glimmer of hope we had for the Falcons’ offense hinged on how different we expected offensive coordinator Zac Robinson to be from former OC Arthur Smith. Bijan Robinson has been used more heavily so far, but Tyler Allgeier was much more of a hot hand in Week 4. Allgeier is decent, but he really only carries value as the next man up if Bijan misses game action.
Nick Chubb is one of the best RBs I’ve ever watched play football. His practice window to return from knee surgery is officially open, which means he’s someone to stash in an open IR spot in deeper leagues. Returning to form after such a gruesome injury might take some time, but Chubb would be a remarkable guy to plug in down the stretch and in the fantasy playoffs if he’s anything close to his vintage self.
Ray Davis has looked like a nice find for the Bills, who needed a physical runner to complement James Cook‘s skill set. I have him stashed virtually everywhere in case Cook misses any time. The Buffalo offense is prolific and constantly in scoring position. A powerful runner like Davis can also work the goal-line carries to spare Josh Allen from undue punishment.
The 49ers have the best running game scheme in the NFL. Christian McCaffrey still has no timetable to return from Achilles tendinitis, so the brunt of the work has gone to Jordan Mason. Mason has an extensive injury history himself, so stashing rookie Isaac Guerendo might be prudent. He isn’t much more than a straight-line bruiser with long speed, but in the Shanahan scheme, he’s good enough.
Neither Zamir White nor Alexander Mattison has done much this season. White has gained more yards, but Mattison has stumbled into the end zone a few times. Mattison is an intriguing stash as someone who could assume a quasi-starting role by outplaying White.
