Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: DeeJay Dallas
DeeJay Dallas (SEA): 3% rostered
- Next opponents: CAR, SF, @KC
- True value: $5
- Desperate need: $10
- Budget-minded: $2
Analysis: It’s certainly not sexy, but the best RB to acquire for those of us who are FAAB-strapped at this point in the season is DeeJay Dallas. Seattle starter Kenneth Walker III injured his ankle on Sunday, paving the way for Dallas to shoulder the load. Dallas then got dinged himself, and it was up to Tony Jones Jr. Jones got knocked out next, so Dallas shook off a “doubtful to return” tag to get back in and pile up double-digit carries. Even if for just one jaunt against the Panthers, Dallas can plop right into a flex start and help your team sneak into the playoffs.
