Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups to Target

Ty Chandler (MIN): 27% rostered

• Next Opponents: DET, @LAR, IND
• True value: $18
• Desperate Need: $28
• Budget-minded: $8

Analysis: Fresh off their bye week, the unbeaten Vikings need their running game to remain effective to keep the heat off of QB Sam Darnold. Aaron Jones is nursing a hip injury, so we figure to see a bump in reps for big-play threat Ty Chandler. He had two big plays called back by penalties in London in Week 5, so the stats are skewed, and we might not need to spend a FAAB fortune on Chandler. Although, if we get word early in the week that Jones’ Week 7 status is in jeopardy, the bidding on Chandler will be robust. There will be a number of sought-after RBs on waivers this week, but Chandler is the top prize.

Tyrone Tracy (NYG): 45% rostered

• Next Opponents: PHI, @PIT, WAS
• True value: $15
• Desperate Need: $23
• Budget-minded: $7

Analysis: The Giants have had a surprisingly effective running game this season, Devin Singletary was an early breakout sleeper, but his groin injury paved the way for Tyrone Tracy, the rookie from Purdue, to start breaking off chunk plays himself. The fifth-rounder averaged 7.2 yards per carry in Week 5 and flashed a well-rounded skill set. Singletary will work himself back onto the field, but Tracy’s performance could shrink how much work the veteran will have waiting upon his return.

Isaac Guerendo (SF): 4% rostered

• Next Opponents: KC, DAL, BYE
• True value: $12
• Desperate Need: $18
• Budget-minded: $6

Analysis: Kyle Shanahan’s record of drafting RBs is a study in futility. For every Trey Sermon and Tyrion Davis-Price, however, there is a Jordan Mason or Isaac Guerendo. The rookie from Louisville was thrust into action on Thursday night for the injured Mason and gashed the Seahawks for 99 rushing yards. He would have had 100 and a touchdown if not for his unselfish slide at the 1-yard line to seal the game. Guerendo has incredible speed (4.33) for his size (6-0, 221), but he lacks vision and patience. It might not matter, since Shanahan’s zone running scheme seems to leave gaping lanes for anyone. The only reason to maybe not overbid on Guerendo is Christian McCaffrey‘s impending return in the coming weeks.

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.
