Deep waiver adds right now
By: Jake Rajala
Week 8 is nearly around the corner. There are still moves that could be done to improve one’s fantasy squad. After all, there will be more clarity about whether some players can suit up. Well, I’m going to lay out five deep waiver wire adds.
Tyler Huntley
The news is sad and true: Lamar Jackson will be out this weekend. The keys will be handed to Tyler Huntley. Thankfully, he has a similar skillset as Lamar Jackson, which will make life for the OC (Todd Monken) easier. He only had three carries last week, but he managed to have 39 rushing yards. I believe he’s a better fit than Josh Johnson or RG3, to say the least.
Noah Fant
Noah Fant is coming off a respectable 14.4 point contest. The question is: was he a fluke? It’s hard to peg whether he can sustain a quality level of play for the majority of his games moving forward. There is no doubt that Joe Flacco is a key reason he did well. I don’t expect Flacco to get injured or benched any time soon.
Kendrick Bourne
Kendrick Bourne scored 24 points in Week 5 and then 19 points in Week 6. He took a nosedive and scored only 3.4 points last weekend. Bourne should be mainly a threat in the offense with Brandon Aiyuk and Ricky Pearsall injured. George Kittle is healthy, however. It will be interesting to see where the targets go with him back.
Justice Hall
Justice Hall has been on a bit of a roller coaster. He recorded 7.5 points in Week 3, 28.7 points in Week 4, 2.3 points in Week 5, and then 9.4 points in Week 6. With Derrick Henry mainly playing the lead RB role on the ground, Hill will shine as a stud through the air. He had 5 grabs on October 12th and five catches against the Chiefs on September 28th. I don’t believe he has J.K. Dobbins upside, but he should be a fine change in pace RB.
Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler hasn’t unleashed a 30 point contest this season. On the bright side, he hasn’t notched a game below 10 points. I still love his upside as a dynasty pickup. Chris Olave is 25 and Rashid Shaheed is 27 years old. Their chemistry should only improve. It’s also Kellen Moore’s first season, who won a Super Bowl with Philly last season.
As shown, I unfolded a variety of players, whether it was a QB or TE. There are mostly young players and a couple of old players listed here. Hence, most of these players have sneaky upside in a dynasty format. I hope everybody can take something from the list and win their matchup.
