Go get these guys

The Wire Tap

Week in week out in fantasy football, there are new players that pop up as potential adds for your team. These players are usually guys that I have had a really successful week which could project a future weeks of success. Finding the right players on the waiver wire is a key to building a championship contender throughout the season. With that said, here are this weeks wire

QBs

Andy Dalton

• I don’t think Andy will be putting up the same numbers Dak was but with this Dallas defense as bad as they are, he is going to have to throw to keep up to some better offenses. Even 60% of what Dak was doing is around 275 yards and two TDs. Definitely worth the add, especially for the Dak owners. 

RBs

Alexander Mattison

• Mattison is a one week fill in while Cook rests his groin, and will be a top 10 back for most people, as Minnesota gets Atlanta this week. He should’ve been owned in all leagues but there is a strong possibility he was on waiver wires and needs to be added by anyone struggling at RB with byes and injuries. 

Damien Harris 

• Harris should’ve been picked up last week after earning 17 carries in his first game of the season. His game was cancelled so he might have discarded back to the wire and if that happened in your league, picks him up immediately. 

Chase Edmonds 

• Edmonds is just flat out better than Drake. And if thing keep going as is, it won’t be long before Drake is replaced by Edmonds. Jump on Edmonds now and stash him away for when this situation happens. 

WRs

Tee Higgins

• Higgins has taken AJ Green’s role and become the top outside option for the Bengals. He is capable of a TD in most matchups and should be owned in all leagues. 

Chase Claypool

• Claypool exploded this week for four TDs. What excited me more was that they handed him three carries as well, looking to get the ball in his hands any way they could. He should be the number one waiver add this week and will be great going forward as he gets more chemistry with Big Ben. 

Travis Fulgham

• I loved what I saw from Fulgham. He lined up everywhere on the field, proved to be good at all levels of the field, and got a ton of targets. My issue is I don’t know what happens when Jeffery and Jackson are healthy. I would rather see a young guy get more work but if the Eagles remain in the division race, they may want to keep the veterans on the field. 

Preston Williams 

• We were high on Williams coming into the year but as good as Fitzpatrick has been in games this year, this is the first real game where he got a better amount of targets. With the production of wide receivers around the league, I feel like if Williams is added, it’s a wasted roster spot that you’ll never want to play. You’re better off going after the other wide receiving options today. 

Henry Ruggs

• I think Ruggs is gonna get much better this year. He’s been banged up but as he gets healthy, we’ll start to see more of what we saw if week 1 when he got 5 targets in the first half before getting injured. Derek Carr has looked much better this year and when Ruggs get 100% healthy he his numbers should look even better than just catching long TDs. 

Laviska Shenault

• Shenault is a nice add as a guy that could get 5 for 50 every week, gets carries as well, so it could lead to TDs as well. His targets will go up if Chark misses any time also. 

Mecole Hardman

• Hardman needs to be added as he now becomes the WR2 for the Chiefs offense and if he does well, which I expect he will, should keep that job even when Sammy Watkins gets back healthy. I love Hardman’s ability and in this offense should be productive with more targets.
  

TEs 

Robert Tonyan 

• Should’ve been added last week, but with the Packers having a bye, Tonyan may have slipped by. If you’re struggling at the TE position, he seems to be a solid option for Aaron Rodgers especially in the red zone, scoring five TDs in three weeks. He’s definitely a guy that should be rostered in all leagues.
