It’s important to know the top waiver wire targets for each week of the fantasy football season. We’ll certainly have you covered with our robust waiver wire advice each and every week. Beyond the top targets, though, there is a benefit to improving your bench and stashing players that are forecasted to increase in value. We’ll also be a great resource for these waiver wire stashes.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stash Targets

Sterling Shepard (WR – NYG)

With a robust set of wide receiver names gracing the waiver wire column this week, I only offer up one name as a stash tribute this week. That’s Sterling Shepard. The only reason Shepard isn’t named immediately behind Jakobi Meyers is the Achilles injury history. With Shepard, we still have to see what his effectiveness will pan out too, but I also don’t want to be late to the party. Shepard has never been the flashiest receiver, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been one of the most efficient for the last few years. While he didn’t do much with the volume (six receptions, 34 receiving yards), Shepard still commanded a 29.4% target share in Week 2. Volume like that deserves a roster spot.
