Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups to Target

Tank Bigsby (JAX): 46% rostered

• Next Opponents: NYJ, @LV, TEN
• True value: $11
• Desperate Need: $16
• Budget-minded: $6

Analysis: We hadn’t seen double-digit fantasy points from Tank Bigsby since Week 8. In a nearly unwatchable 10-6 win over the Titans, the Jaguars hitched their wagon to Bigsby to the tune of 55 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. Travis Etienne saw more work as a pass catcher, but Bigsby has looked like the more reliable player when healthy this season and has been among the league leaders in yards after contact per carry. With so many injuries at this pivotal point in the fantasy season, he must be rostered.

Sincere McCormick (LV): 15% rostered

• Next Opponents: ATL, JAX, @NO
• True value: $9
• Desperate Need: $14
• Budget-minded: $5

Analysis: Sincere McCormick is playing his way into relevance just in time for the fantasy football playoffs. The Raiders stink to high heaven, but the former UTSA Roadrunner is primed for a 2023 Zamir White type of run. He cracked double-digit fantasy points in Week 14 against Tampa Bay, with 89 scrimmage yards on 18 touches. White and Alexander Mattison might be back soon, but they have both failed to lock down the job and left the door open for McCormick to take over.

Isaiah Davis (NYJ): 11% rostered

• Next Opponents: @JAX, LAR, @BUF
• True value: $7
• Desperate Need: $10
• Budget-minded: $3

Analysis: I tried to tell the world this summer that Isaiah Davis was just as good as Braelon Allen (and more versatile). Allen was inexplicably used for entire series instead of Breece Hall early in the season when Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett was hacking it up, leading many to believe Allen was in line for a robust step up in volume in Week 14. Davis was thoroughly impressive Sunday against the Dolphins, with 67 scrimmage yards on 13 touches. He scored a touchdown for the second week in a row and was targeted six times in the passing game. The Jets are done, officially eliminated from playoff contention for the 14th consecutive season. They should shut down Hall and run the two youngsters out there in tandem against a really soft remaining schedule. Davis is the one to covet.

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.
