Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Quarterback

QUARTERBACKS

Written by Bo McBrayer

Russell Wilson (PIT): 35% rostered

Next Opponents: CLE, @PHI, @BAL
True value: $4
Desperate Need: $7
Budget-minded: $2

Analysis: Russell Wilson‘s spike week was well-timed, but you might want to hang onto the grizzled veteran a bit longer. Even with the Bengals’ kitten-soft defense, Wilson lit it up Sunday with more than 400 passing yards and three touchdowns. The next three games aren’t going to be as easy, but he’s still the best streaming option at the quarterback position.

Will Levis (TEN): 12% rostered

Next Opponents: JAX, CIN, @IND
True value: $3
Desperate Need: $6
Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Bear with me as I stir some mayonnaise into my coffee for this one. Levis has driven some football fans crazy with his absentminded decision making, but he has also been remarkably consistent in the fantasy column. Dare I say that with how easy the Titans’ remaining schedule, Levis could be a QB1 going forward through championship week. It sure beats counting on someone like Aidan O’Connell or Cooper Rush, who also have very favorable finishes to the season.

Jameis Winston (CLE): 15% rostered

Next Opponents: @PIT, KC, @CIN
True value: $2
Desperate Need: $3
Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Rostering Jameis Winston is like taking a blind taste test. You might draw something delicious, as with the two games where he surpassed 25 fantasy points. Winston also might give you a poisonous mushroom or an improperly butchered puffer fish and kill your chances to win that week. If you’re risk-tolerant, go for it. Pittsburgh allowed him to pass for 219 yards in Week 12’s blizzard, so he might be worth a swig of Pepto Bismol.

Aidan O’Connell (LV): 2% rostered

Next Opponents: @TB, ATL, JAX
True value: $2
Desperate Need: $3
Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: I definitely didn’t have a 300-yard passing game against the Chiefs on the bingo card for Aidan O’Connell. But it actually happened on Black Friday. Now, the seas have parted, and the Raiders have a quarterback’s dream stretch over the next three games. Is O’Connell worth an aggressive bid? No; he’s just as likely to burn us as he is to crack 20 fantasy points again. This is an acquisition for the desperate.
