From our Start/Sit Assistant – which provides your optimal lineup based on accurate consensus projections – to our Waiver Wire Assistant – which allows you to quickly see which available players will improve your team, and by how much – we’ve got you covered this fantasy football season.
Andrei Iosivas (WR – CIN): Andrei Iosivas had a promising start to the season but now faces tough competition for targets with both J’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins healthy. Despite his earlier success, his role has diminished, making him a cut candidate for your waiver wire.
Gabe Davis (WR – JAX): After finishing outside the top 80 wide receivers in the last two weeks, Gabe Davis has struggled to find his footing in an offense that favors deep shots. With a lack of consistent production, it might be best to part ways and seek a more dependable option.
Brandin Cooks (WR – DAL): Despite multiple opportunities to shine, Brandin Cooks has consistently underperformed, ranking among the lowest in fantasy points. With Jake Ferguson emerging as a favored target, it’s time to consider dropping him for someone who can contribute more to your roster.
