WR

• Main Waiver Wire Pickups
  • DEN Courtland Sutton (10% owned) 
    • The #1 add on the week now that Demaryius Thomas has been traded to the Texans
  • CAR D.J. Moore (13% owned) vs TB
    • 71% of snaps in Week 8. He was Mike’s Rising Star on the Studs & Duds episode.
  • ATL Mohamed Sanu (49% owned) @WAS
  • TB Chris Godwin (53% owned) @CAR
    • With Ryan Fitzpatrick back in as the starter, it’s a bump up for all Tampa Bay WRs.
  • MIA DeVante Parker (13% owned) vs NYJ
  • ARI Christian Kirk (30% owned) on Bye
  • NO Tre’Quan Smith (30% owned) vs LAR
  • LAC Tyrell Williams (33% owned) @SEA
  • LAC Mike Williams (47% owned) @SEA
    • The “Williams Brothers” return from the Week 8 Bye. Tyrell has made big plays the last two weeks but a down game could be coming.
  • CHI Taylor Gabriel (55% owned) @BUF
  • CHI Anthony Miller (9% owned) @BUF
  • GB Marquez Valdes-Scantling (6% owned) @NE
  • SEA David Moore (3% owned) vs LAC

RB

• Main Waiver Wire Pickups
  • TB Peyton Barber (46% owned) @CAR
    • Ronald Jones is expected to miss 2-3 weeks.
  • GB Aaron Jones (72% owned) @NE
    • (if he’s available) He finally seemed to be the main guy in the Packers backfield and the Packers just traded away pass-catching back Ty Montgomery.
  • OAK Jalen Richard (63% owned) @SF
    • Should continue to see a handful of targets every game in this offense.
  • OAK Doug Martin (53% owned) @SF
    • “Krampus” was alright last week with 72 rushing yards on 13 carries and 2 catches for 17 yards. During the Bye-pocalypse, 15 touches could be hard to come by.
  • ATL Ito Smith (37% owned) @WAS
  • PHI Josh Adams (1% owned) on Bye
    • One of Andy’s favorite adds at RB this week. He looked like the best Eagles RB last week. The problem is that they split carries and the Eagles are on Bye this week.
  • NYJ Elijah McGuire (6% owned) @MIA
    • So far, he’s been out all year with an injury. With Bilal Powell sidelined, McGuire could step right into opportunity.
  • MIA Frank Gore (22% owned)
  • DEN Devontae Booker (5% owned) 

TE

• Main Waiver Wire Pickups
  • IND Jack Doyle (25% owned) on Bye
  • CIN C.J. Uzomah (50% owned) on Bye
  • PIT Vance McDonald (48% owned) @BAL
  • SEA Ed Dickson (1% owned) vs LAC
    • Jason thinks Dickson could hover in the bottom half of the top 12 TEs rest of season.
