Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Quarterback
QUARTERBACKS
Written by Bo McBrayer
Daniel Jones (NYG): 22% rostered
- Next Opponents: PHI, @PIT, WAS
- True value: $5
- Desperate Need: $11
- Budget-minded: $2
Analysis: Here’s hoping Malik Nabers can get back on the field soon. Daniel Jones is not an elevator but can be a facilitator in the right spots. His mobility makes him an intriguing fantasy streaming option in favorable matchups. The Giants’ opponent this week, Philadelphia, is one of the more favorable matchups for opposing quarterbacks. Danny Dimes is wildly inconsistent, but his peaks can help your fantasy team win.
Drake Maye (NE): 6% rostered
- Next Opponents: @JAX, NYJ, @TEN
- True value: $4
- Desperate Need: $8
- Budget-minded: $2
Analysis: After nearly cracking 20 fantasy points in his NFL debut, I’m at least in on streaming Drake Maye in Week 7 against a horrendous Jacksonville defense. Houston got after the rookie, sacking him four times and forcing four turnovers. Maye responded with three touchdown passes and 38 rushing yards in the loss. He has the upside to crush it in a plus matchup, but beware the Mr. Hyde side now that opponents have some film on Maye.
Justin Herbert (LAC): 41% rostered
- Next Opponents: @ARI, NO, @CLE
- True value: $2
- Desperate Need: $4
- Budget-minded: $1
Analysis: Sadly, Justin Herbert‘s 13.7 fantasy points in Week 6 were a season high. Now 3-2, the Chargers have a run-heavy offense that needs only mistake-free football from their gifted signal caller to succeed. The Chargers face a volatile Cardinals team in Week 7 that has shown a propensity to lapse in coverage. With the right game script, Herbert has 20-point upside and thus makes a valid streaming option for the first time in the Jim Harbaugh era.
Andy Dalton (CAR): 10% rostered
- Next Opponents: @WAS, @DEN, NO
- True value: $2
- Desperate Need: $4
- Budget-minded: $0
Analysis: Andy Dalton understands his assignment. If he simply peppers Diontae Johnson with targets, good things happen. Carolina has assumed a run-heavy scheme featuring Chuba Hubbard of late, but the Panthers have dropped five of their six games. Week 7 brings a date with the pass-funnel Washington Commanders, and a pass-heavy approach might be needed to keep up on the scoreboard. Dalton isn’t a premier streaming option, but he still makes the list.
Stash Candidates:
It usually doesn’t make much sense to stash quarterbacks, but the Dolphins go from the league’s lowest-scoring offense to one of the highest-scoring with Tua Tagovailoa on the field. Tua is eligible to return from IR in Week 8, so stashing him has merit. Miami’s Week 8 opponent is Arizona, which is ninth-worst at defending fantasy quarterbacks.
