What the Experts Are Saying
Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice
Trey Sermon (IND): 1% rostered
- Next Opponents: @JAX, @TEN, MIA
- True value: $2
- Desperate Need: $8
- Budget-minded: $1
Analysis: Break glass in case of emergency. Trey Sermon is the random ax left to collect dust until disaster strikes. Jonathan Taylor left Sunday’s game with an apparent ankle injury in the second half. Sermon stepped in with five carries for a meager eight yards. Early reports suggest that JT’s injury is not serious, but any missed time vaults Sermon into a prominent role. You’d have to be extremely desperate for depth to add him either way.
