Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups to Stash

Wide Receiver

• Stash Candidate: Kadarius Toney

Kadarius Toney is a must-stash player if you have the bench space. In Week 10, we got a brief look at his upside in the Chiefs’ passing attack. With only a 14.7% target share and 43.6% route participation rate, he rolled up 3.35 yards per route run and a 29% target per route run rate. If Toney’s balky hamstrings comply, he could push your team over the top as a smash flex play.

Tight End

• Stash Candidates: Daniel Bellinger, Chigoziem Okonkwo

After recovering from an eye injury, Daniel Bellinger returned to the Giants’ starting lineup Sunday, playing 97% of the snaps while drawing a 16.1% target share. Bellinger is worth stashing in deeper leagues or if your squad has a firm eye set on Weeks 16 & 17 this season. Bellinger is an every-down TE, staring down favorable matchups with the Vikings and Colts in those weeks. Bellinger could easily sniff TE1 production against each of those defenses.

Okonkwo has produced this season whenever he’s been given opportunities. The rookie had only drawn 20 targets this season entering Week 13, but he has produced a ridiculous 10.2 yards after the catch per reception and 2.59 yards per route run. In Week 13, Okonkwo played 60% of the snaps. He bested Austin Hooper in routes (21 vs. 20). With these efficiency numbers and an athletic profile off the charts, Okonkwo is a player worth stashing, because if he earns full-time snaps at any point, he could explode as a weekly top-12 option at the position.
