Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups to Target

Tank Bigsby (JAX): 22% rostered

• Next Opponents: @CHI, NE, GB
• True value: $22
• Desperate Need: $36
• Budget-minded: $14

Analysis: There is no coincidence. Jacksonville achieved its first win of the season on Sunday after essentially featuring Tank Bigsby as the lead back over Travis Etienne. The former Auburn standout looked incredibly explosive and versatile, with over 100 yards rushing and two touchdowns. He also hauled in one pass and broke free for a 28-yard gain, bringing 27.9 points to those who started him in PPR formats. Bigsby was drafted by the current regime in Jacksonville, whereas Etienne was a surprising first-round pick under disgraced former head coach Urban Meyer. I still believe in Etienne, but Bigsby is the guy RB-needy fantasy managers absolutely need to acquire.

Tyrone Tracy (NYG): 23% rostered

• Next Opponents: CIN, PHI, @PIT
• True value: $10
• Desperate Need: $17
• Budget-minded: $6

Analysis: It was surprising how effective Devin Singletary was before sustaining a groin injury in Week 4. I suppose more attention should have been paid to Tyrone Tracy and Eric Gray stepping up in his stead. Tracy, a rookie from Purdue, looked very capable in New York’s upset road win over Seattle. He racked up 129 yards on 18 carries and scored a touchdown, while Gray lost a fumble while reaching for the goal line that was returned 102 yards for a defensive score. There are two concerns with adding Tracy on waivers. The first is Singletary’s return, which could immediately relegate the rookie back to swing duties. The other is Tracy’s lack of receiving upside. He has pass-catching ability as a former college receiver who switched to running back after transferring from Iowa to Purdue, but Brian Daboll’s system does not target the RB position often. I’ll still take a shot and bid on him given the current state of RBs in fantasy football.

Ty Chandler (MIN): 28% rostered

• Next Opponents: BYE, DET, @LAR
• True value: $8
• Desperate Need: $15
• Budget-minded: $5

Analysis: Just in case Aaron Jones‘ hip injury costs him multiple weeks, this is an opportunity to add a big-play merchant who already had an established role. Chandler’s Week 5 production was modest vs. the stout Jets defense in London, but he had two chunk plays called back by penalties. Many fantasy managers will be reluctant to add Chandler during Minnesota’s bye week, but the two games after it are great opportunities to make a splash. You might be able to get a slight discount on Chandler with the Vikings on bye in Week 6.

Successful In-Season Fantasy Football Management

Once your fantasy football team is drafted, the work is not over. Successful in-season management is crucial to a winning fantasy football season. Here are some tips to help you manage your team effectively throughout the season:

Stay up to date on player news
Keep track of player injuries, suspensions, and other news that may impact their performance. This will help you make informed decisions about which players to start each week.

Monitor the waiver wire
Keep an eye on the waiver wire and be ready to pick up players who may be undervalued or overlooked by other teams. This can provide valuable depth to your roster. Use our waiver wire assistant to view optimal lineups, waiver and trade suggestions, and league analysis.

Analyze matchups
Analyze the upcoming matchups for your players and opponents to determine which players to start in your lineup each week. Look for favorable matchups and take into account the strength of the opposing team’s defense.

Stay active in trades
Be open to trading players with other teams if it will benefit your team. Analyze the potential impact of a trade before making a decision and negotiate with other teams to find a mutually beneficial agreement.

Be prepared for bye weeks
Plan ahead for bye weeks by having backup players ready to fill in for your starters. Avoid having too many players with the same bye week, which can leave your team short-handed.

Don’t overreact to one bad week
Avoid overreacting to one bad week of performance by a player. Take a long-term view of their performance and evaluate their potential moving forward.

Continuously evaluate your roster
Continuously evaluate your roster throughout the season and make adjustments as needed. Be willing to drop underperforming players or make changes to your lineup if necessary.
