Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups to Target

Jalen McMillan (TB): 8% rostered

• Next Opponents: @DAL, CAR, NO
• True value: $3
• Desperate Need: $5
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Well, I guess we need to be back in on McMillan after two standout performances. We’ve been waiting for the talented rookie to emerge since Chris Godwin was lost for the year, and it looks like he is doing it. Over the last two weeks, McMillan has had a 23.2% target share while averaging 4.5 receptions and 67 receiving yards. He has scored three times in the last two weeks. None of his final three matchups for the season should strike fear in anyone’s heart. Dallas and New Orleans have allowed the 10th-most and ninth-most fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers (per Fantasy Points Data).

Romeo Doubs (GB): 38% rostered

• Next Opponents: NO, @MIN, CHI
• True value: $3
• Desperate Need: $5
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Doubs returned from the concussion protocol in Week 15 and made his presence known. He had an 18.5% target share with 40 receiving yards and two scores. He is poised to continue the scoring barrage over the next three weeks with nice matchups against the Saints, Vikings and Bears. Since Week 9, the Saints, Vikings and Bears have respectively allowed the fifth-most, 14th-most and seventh-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers (per Fantasy Points Data).

Jalen Coker (CAR): 2% rostered

• Next Opponents: ARI, @TB, @ATL
• True value: $3
• Desperate Need: $5
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Coker returned to the lineup after missing three games with a quad injury and made his presence known. He finished with a 21.4% target share, a team-leading 110 receiving yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Cowboys. Yes, most of that production came on an immaculate 83-yard score, but Coker returned to a full-time role. He split the slot snaps with Adam Thielen as they rotated. Xavier Legette also left the game early (groin). If he’s unable to go next week, it’ll be Coker and Thielen duking it out for the team lead in targets. Arizona’s secondary has been improved in recent weeks, but Coker should torch the Bucs and Falcons to close the NFL regular season. Since Week 9, Tampa Bay and Atlanta have allowed the fifth-most and most fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers (per Fantasy Points Data).

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.
