💰️ Waiver Wire Report

If you need an injury or bye week fill-in, now is the time to focus on whoever can get you into the playoffs or earn that bye week. If you’ve already got that locked up, then I would strongly recommend loading up your roster with RBs that are are one injury away from being a valuable starter. Frankly, everyone on your roster should have a path to starting for you and significantly contributing. If you’re not sure what that path is, probably a good time to grab an additional backup RB.

QB
Likely taken but top priorities if available: Jayden Danies, Jacoby Brissett, Trevor Lawrence
NYJ Tyrod Taylor (2% - 4%): coming off a 21 point performance with 44 rushing yards, he gets a friendly matchup against the Dolphins for anyone needing a QB fill-in
Players you can drop: Aaron Rodgers, Geno Smith, CJ Stroud

RB
Likely taken but top priorities if available: Trey Benson, Devin Neal, Kyle Monangai
LAR Blake Corum (7% - 10%): operating as the clear No. 2 in a strong Rams offense with goal-line exposure; has weekly bye-week flex value and league-winning upside if Kyren misses time
WAS Chris Rodriguez Jr. (7% - 10%): just handled the clear lead-back role (11 carries to 4 for his backup) and profiles as a volume RB2 while he sits atop Washington’s depth chart
ARI Bam Knight (1% - 2%): has logged three straight double-digit games with Trey Benson still not fully back, giving you short-term RB2/FLEX production with contingent upside if Benson remains out
Players you can drop: Bill Croskey-Merritt, Sean Tucker, Dylan Sampson

WR
Likely taken but top priorities if available: Chris Godwin, Alec Pierce, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed
HOU Jayden Higgins (10% - 15%): target and air-yard hog with multiple top-24 weekly finishes recently; clearly emerging as C.J. Stroud’s No. 2 option and a perfect high-upside WR3 for the fantasy playoffs
CAR Jalen Coker (2% - 3%): quietly operated as Carolina’s No. 2 WR with 6 targets and a score; on bye this week, which should keep bids modest, but he’s a savvy stash for Weeks 15–17.
NO Devaughn Vele (1% - 2%): just erupted for 8/93/1 and looks set for a larger role with the Saints thin behind Chris Olave; ideal WR4/bench depth with immediate usability if Olave misses time
Players you can drop: Parker Washington, Keon Coleman, Cooper Kupp

TE
Likely taken but top priorities if available: Juwan Johnson, Dalton Kincaid, Kyle Pitts
JAX Brenton Strange (10% - 15%): back-to-back strong games (95 yards in Week 12, 45 yards and a TD in Week 13) and now firmly on the low-end TE1 radar with Trevor Lawrence leaning on him as a safety valve
Darren Waller (5% - 8%): When healthy, he has averaged 11.6 half ppr fantasy points which would rank him TE4 on the year. He also gets two very friendly matchups including the Bengals who have given up the most points to opposing TEs
HOU Dalton Schultz (5% - 8%): six double-digit outings in his last eight games and doing it mostly on volume/yardage rather than TD luck; a rock-solid every-week starter if he’s somehow on your wire
Players you can drop: David Njoku, Cade Otton
