Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups to Target

Jordan Mason (SF): 42% rostered

Next Opponents: CHI, LAR, @MIA
True value: $68
Desperate Need: $100
Budget-minded: $44

Analysis: Christian McCaffrey‘s non-contact injury in snowy Buffalo Sunday night makes Mason a must-add on waivers this week. Empty the clip. Mason was a RB1 performer three times before sustaining a few of his own injuries. San Francisco’s upcoming schedule is not a hindrance. The 49ers’ next three opponents are the Bears, Rams and Dolphins, who respectively rank 30th, 23rd and 26th in DVOA vs. the run. The Niners will need to get back to running the football to cling to the final strands of hope for reaching the postseason.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (TEN): 17% rostered

Next Opponents: JAX, CIN, @IND
True value: $2
Desperate Need: $4
Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Well, I say this every week: “There’s no way Nick Westbrook-Ikhine can keep scoring touchdowns.” And here we are. Against the Commanders on Sunday, he made me look even more foolish by scoring twice, which brought the total to eight touchdowns in his last eight games. Westbrook-Ikhine drew a season-high eight targets (21.6% target share) and had 61 receiving yards. He’s primed to keep the hot streak going this week against a Jaguars secondary that since Week 6 has allowed the sixth-most PPR points per target to outside wide receivers.

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 Dissly (LAC): 42% rostered

Next Opponents: @KC, TB, DEN
True value: $3
Desperate Need: $5
Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Yes, I know the goose egg from Dissly hurt last week, but that’s not a good reason to hop off the train. Prior to the horrible game last week, he had been quite good in fantasy. In Weeks 7-12, Dissly had a 19.1% target share, 19.3% first-read share and 2.01 yards per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). He averaged 48 receiving yards per game and had two TE1 weeks (TE7, TE6). This week, he gets back into the TE1 good graces against a Kansas City pass defense that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.
