Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stash Targets

Stash Candidates: Kyren Williams, Jaylen Warren, James Cook, D’Ernest Johnson, JaMycal Hasty, Dontrell Hilliard, Alexander Mattison

Similar to Rashaad White, Kyren Williams and James Cook are talented rookie RBs with strong receiving traits, and they stand to benefit from an increased workload as the season progresses. Williams is reportedly beloved by the McVay staff and could contribute immediately upon his activation from the IR.

The Cleveland Browns are receptive to trade offers for Kareem Hunt, potentially opening a window of opportunity for D’Ernest Johnson. If Hunt is dealt, Johnson immediately becomes a decent flex option in a RB-friendly Cleveland offense that will become more explosive once Deshaun Watson returns from suspension.

JaMycal Hasty, Jaylen Warren, Dontrell Hilliard and Alexander Mattison are each getting some rotational work behind the starters on their respective teams but need an injury to become fantasy-relevant. Only Hilliard has shown explosive potential as a standalone option, but it’s complete guesswork as to which weeks he will shine alongside Derrick Henry.
