Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stash Targets
Here are a few players to consider stashing on your bench via the fantasy football waiver wire.
Fantasy Football Running Back Stash Candidates
The snatching the clipboard from Nathaniel Hackett saved our Breece Hall shares. Braelon Allen‘s role has shrunk, but he is still worth stashing as a handcuff to Hall who can endure a full workload if needed.
Bijan Robinson is such a prodigious stud that we forget how solid Tyler Allgeier is. His role isn’t quite what we need from a starting flex player, but Allgeier would be valuable as a three-down back if Bijan missed any time.
Those of us who drafted James Conner were very happy early this season. Last week, our concern level spiked when talented rookie Trey Benson saw a jump in touches and looked sharp. Conner is still the main dude, but Benson has now shown there won’t be much of a dropoff if the oft-injured veteran goes down again.
Ray Davis won me so much money in showdown DFS when James Cook missed a game with a toe injury. Davis is a quality player with no glaring weaknesses. Cook provides more dynamism, but the rookie from Kentucky is more than a shot in the arm as the next man up.
Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Stash Candidate
Stash Mike Williams while you can. Yes, this is in hopes that he gets traded. I won’t go crazy with bids for him in any league, but if you can get access to this cheap lottery ticket with a $1 bid and have the bench space, I’d do it.
