Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stash Targets
Running Back Stash Candidates:
No matter how great Ray Davis looks, Buffalo is riding James Cook. Davis is a powerful player who should be on the field more than he is. Unfortunately, he is nothing more than a stash in case Cook goes down.
James Conner has been a huge contributor to winning fantasy rosters this season. His power and versatility are also going to keep Arizona in playoff contention. His one undesirable quality might be his inability to stay healthy. Trey Benson has looked sharp in spurts this season. The rookie from Florida State is dueling with Emari Demarcado for the trickle-down from Conner’s hearty workload. Benson is my pick as the preferred handcuff because he is more suited for similar volume should Conner miss time.
A team’s running game must be potent for fantasy managers to want to stash the third back in the rotation. Miami is exactly that. Raheem Mostert is back to scoring touchdowns, while it hasn’t affected De’Von Achane‘s RB1 upside in the slightest. Jaylen Wright can step in if either one misses game action and provide a similar home run threat. Since Mostert and Achane aren’t known for their durability, it’s best to make sure Wright lays in wait on our bench.
