Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Running Back

RUNNING BACKS

Written by Bo McBrayer

Jaylen Warren (PIT): 42% rostered

Next Opponents: @WSH, BAL, @CLE
True value: $9
Desperate Need: $16
Budget-minded: $5

Analysis: The 2024 season has not resembled 2023 one bit for Jaylen Warren. He has fallen from favor under Arthur Smith, who prefers to hammer inside zone into the back of his line with the bigger Najee Harris. Warren is still valuable and has better efficiency metrics than Harris. As a receiver, he offers more burst and big-play potential. The Steelers face a brutally difficult schedule for running backs through the rest of the season. I expect that to be harder on Najee than it will be on the more versatile Warren.

Isaac Guerendo (SF): 17% rostered

Next Opponents: @TB, SEA, @GB
True value: $6
Desperate Need: $11
Budget-minded: $3

Analysis: Until Jordan Mason aggravated his shoulder injury against Dallas, we had all but written off Guerendo as nothing more than a deep stash. Christian McCaffrey‘s return looms in Week 10, but Kyle Shanahan would be proven a fool if he allowed his veteran superstar to bear a heavy load early on. CMC’s return to form is another topic. Guerendo has a unique combination of size and speed, though his peripheral skills are underdeveloped. San Francisco’s upcoming schedule is favorable for running backs. Guerendo offers upside as a change of pace from CMC and as a stash.

Tyler Allgeier (ATL): 39% rostered

Next Opponents: @NO, @DEN, BYE
True value: $4
Desperate Need: $8
Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: One very important change in Atlanta’s offense has simultaneously depreciated Tyler Allgeier‘s fantasy value and made the Falcons operate at a higher level. They are giving Bijan Robinson the ball a lot more than when the season started. Robinson is a mega-star, but Allgeier is more than serviceable. He scored a touchdown against Dallas in Week 9 despite earning only six carries. The former BYU linebacker should see some more work in the weeks to come as the Falcons manage Bijan’s workload entering the playoff push. He has innate touchdown upside as the team’s unquestioned short-yardage thumper.

Ray Davis (BUF): 21% rostered

Next Opponents: @IND, KC, BYE
True value: $3
Desperate Need: $7
Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: I haven’t the foggiest idea why it was Ty Johnson who saw the field before Ray Davis in Week 9 to spell James Cook. Nothing against Johnson, but Davis exploded for 17 fantasy points on six touches. His 67-yard touchdown reception was electric and exhibited Davis’ penchant for shaking off tackles and his underrated long speed and agility. While it probably isn’t feasible to expect this sort of game every week from the rookie from Northern California, he has everyone’s attention as another key weapon on the high-octane Bills.
