Waiver Wire Week 14:
Welcome to the fantasy playoffs, you’ve made it this far, and I for one am proud. Chances are, you don’t neeed this but it’s always nice to take a gander at what’s available. And hey, if you do need it, LISTEN UP!
QB:
Daniel Jones- Back from injury and QB’ing one of the hottest teams in the NFL. Daniel Jones has been injured the last 2 weeks, but prior to that, he went a 4 week stretch where he was averaging a steady 19ppg in fantasy. Plus, I love the matchup. Arizona is ranked 20th against the QB position, and they are free falling this year. Jones can feast today, if you need him.
RB:
Ty Johnson- Jets second-year man out of Maryland, Ty Johnson handled 22 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown. Can’t get picky about RB’s at this point in the season. Hopefully Gore stays away.
DeAndre Washington- With Myles Gaskin out due to COVID, Salvon Ahmed still out with a shoulder injury. Washington is the next up to get a start. For what it’s worth, the Phins ran the ball really well last week. It’ll be important for them to establish some semblance of a run game against the Chiefs.
WR:
Keke Coutee: Crossing my fingers and hoping he’s still available on your waiver wire, if he is, scoop him now. I was not expecting him to come in and fill the void that Will Fuller left, but, that’s exactly what he did. 8 catches – 141 yards. One of the top WR’s in fantasy this week.
Collin Johnson: I’m giving this one to you, free of charge, for the 2nd week in a row. It’s 2 weeks straight now with at least 6 targets, he caught a TD two weeks ago and a 2-point conversion this past Sunday. The Jags like him where point matter most. He’s outplaying DJ Chark at the moment.
Gabe Davis- I’m still seeing him out on waiver wires all over the place, he should be rostered in all leagues at this point.
TE-
Cole Kmet- Look, not a lot to love @ this position on the waiver wire. But let’s do what we always do and target some upside. Kmet has been running more routes than Jimmy Graham, by a mile, over the last 4 games for the Bears. He was the 1st TE off the board in the 2020 draft, and if you’re in a keeper situation, he’s definitely a good speculative add.
DST:
Giants- Arizona has been struggling on offense as of late and I like this DST for the same reasons I like Daniel Jones, this team is hot right now. They were the 3rd highest scoring DST last week and now rank top 10 on the season.
