Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups You Don’t Want to Miss
Alright, folks! Another week in the books and we’re diving into the exciting world of fantasy football pickups that’ll get you all fired up for your upcoming matchups. Let’s kick it off with some names that could make a real difference for your roster this week!
Sam Darnold Spreading the Love
First up is Sam Darnold who just canโt seem to stop lighting it up! Heโs thrown for an astounding 449 yards and gotten six touchdowns over just two games! Thatโs right, folksโagainst tough teams like the Niners and Texans, Darnold is proving heโs got the chops to navigate real pressure. This last game, he connected with six different receivers, four of whom found the end zone! Youโd better believe this MVP chatter surrounding him is not just hot air. If youโre in need, toss in a FAB offer around $11, and you might just snag a gem.
Justin Jefferson: Unstoppable Force
Moving on to Justin Jefferson. As if we could ever stop talking about him! He caught six passes for 81 yards and snagged a touchdown in the same game. Hello, superstar! Minnesota has a ton of playmakers on the roster, but Jefferson is still the guy to watch. Expect big things from him, especially as the team finds its rhythm moving forward in the season.
Geno Smith and DK Metcalf Are a Match Made in Fantasy Heaven
Over in Seattle, Geno Smith is having his moment too, showcasing a solid 200 passing yards by halftime! He finished with 289 yards and one touchdown. With his team carrying an undefeated record and facing off against a friendly matchup against the Lions, Smith could be a prime pickup. Think around $9 fab budget to bring him onto your team.
Justin Fields: Keeping the Bears Afloat
We canโt forget about Justin Fields, whoโs leading a 3-0 team! After a stellar performance last week, with a score through the air and one on the ground, he’s looking promising going into their next game against Indianapolis. Just rememberโdonโt count out Russell Wilsonโs time behind center, but it seems to be all Fields all day long for now.
Spotlight on Bucky Irving
In Tampa Bay, weโre witnessing the rise of rookie Bucky Irving. He rushed nine times for 70 yards and added three catches for another 14 yards. Heโs definitely been outshining Rachaad White, so if youโre looking for a runner with electric potential, you might want to consider Irving. Sprinkle in a FAB of around $21 and cross your fingers!
Closing the Deal with Dallas’ Dowdle
For those Dallas Cowboys fans, Malik Dowdle is starting to stand out as a potential asset. Heโs led the team in carries and had a few catches to boot. If youโre in a pinch for running backs this week against the Giants, he could be your guy. Throw in $7 fab and see what happens!
Let’s Talk About Jennings
Now, if you were one of the lucky few who picked Jauan Jennings last week, pat yourself on the back! With three touchdowns and an impressive 175 yards against some tough competition, he’s officially a name to watch. As he gears up to face the Patriots and Arizona, he could be a real game-changer. A $12 fab offer could get the job done!
Keeping Up with Tight Ends
Lastly, donโt sleep on Cole Kmet from Chicago. He had a fantastic game with 10 catches and 97 yards. As your go-to tight end worries build, Kmet should be near the top of your list for urgent pickups. Add him to your roster with about $6 fab.
So there you have it, fantasy players! A mixed bag of potential adds to help get your fantasy team rolling. Keep your eyes peeled, set those lineups, and may your fantasy dreams come true!
