The Weekly Waiver Wire
This week’s Wire may look a little muddled, but if you can find clarity, there are plenty of moves to be made. Let’s start at the top of the Wire and head over to Cleveland where the Browns running back Kareem Hunt will likely be one of the top adds this week. Hunt is only owned in 46.8% ESPN leagues and figures to be the next man up with (RB) Jerome Ford expected to be sidelined 1-2 weeks.
After a strong Week 7 performance, Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid will be a hot pick up off the Waiver wire this week. The Bills rookie tight end was finally heavily involved in the pass game receiving 8 targets, catching 8 passes for 75 receiving yards, and he finished as the fantasy TE6 for the week. Kincaid is only owned in 31.3% of ESPN leagues, so this may be time to grab him.
The rest of the Week 8 Wire.
Gardner Minshew (Colts-QB) The Colts signal caller is coming off a strong Week 7 showing against the Browns. In what should have been a difficult matchup to avoid, Minshew put up nearly 30 fantasy points and finished the week as fantasy QB3. He’s on the radar with a date with the Saints in Week 8.
Mac Jones (Patriots-QB) A strong Week 7 showing has him on the watchlist as fantasy owners continue to manage their way through the byes.
Kenny Pickett (Steelers-QB) Pickett has both of his primary receivers now, with George Pickens and Diontae Johnson, he’s on the streaming radar during the byes.
Darrell Henderson Jr (Rams-RB) Owned in just 12.2% of ESPN leagues, Henderson should be considered a viable streaming option during the byes.
Royce Freeman (Rams-RB) Freeman ran well on Sunday against the Steelers playing behind Henderson. Owned in only 20.2% fantasy leagues, he’s a streamer in deeper leagues and should be rostered.
Emari Demercado (Cardinals-RB) The Cardinals running back is only rostered in 15.7% of ESPN leagues. He’s worth adding but could be a risky play considering the current tumultuous usage rate in the Cards backfield. Proceed with caution.
AJ Dillon (Packers-RB) Until Aaron Jones is a full-go, Dillon is back on streaming radar. Over his past two games Dillon is averaging 17.5 carries and 68.5 yards rushing per game.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Chiefs-WR) The Chiefs wideout is rostered in only 7.5% of ESPN leagues. When you get an endorsement from your quarterback, that’s a good thing, but when he’s Patrick Mahomes fantasy managers should listen. MVS should be rostered.
Rashee Rice (Chiefs-WR) Part of the Chiefs prolific passing offense, the rookie is rostered in 48.7% of ESPN league and should be added. Rice has 13 receptions for 165 yards and two scores over his last three games.
Jake Bobo (Seahawks-WR) It’s too early to make a move here, especially with the JSN breakout game on Sunday, but Bobo (rostered in .4% of ESPN leagues) should be on your watchlist, even stashed in deeper leagues if you have the room on your bench.
Kendrick Bourne (Patriots-WR) The Patriots wideout is rostered in only 24.1% of ESPN leagues, it’s time to add him. Bourne has scored over 15 fantasy points in consecutive games.
Gerald Everett (Chargers-TE) Rostered in only 28.0% ESPN leagues; Everett should be considered a viable streaming option. Over the past two games he's the fantasy TE6.
That's my take!
