Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stash Targets
Running Back Stash Candidates
With Kyle Monangai taking the field on Monday night against the Vikings, we are proactively adding him to this list. After dealing with a hamstring injury, he is ready to make his debut against the Vikings. Bears head coach Ben Johnson has repeatedly said how much he trusts Monangai, and it’s possible the rookie could be the goal-line back to start the season.
The Dolphins forgot to show up against the Colts in Week 1. Either Miami happened to have its worst game of the season in Week 1, or the Dolphins are on the fast track to the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Although I lean toward the latter, Ollie Gordon is the clear No. 2 back behind De’Von Achane and will be utilized between the tackles in positive game scripts. A Week 2 matchup against a Patriots team that held the Raiders to 2.3 yards per carry on Sunday is a tough ask for Gordon. However, let’s give this Dolphins team a mulligan and see if they can turn it around in Week 2.
The Chiefs are staring down an 0-2 start, as they face the Super Bowl champion Eagles in Week 2. We saw Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt both have five carries and two receptions in Week 1. If this continues as something close to a 50-50 split, Kareem Hunt could have weekly fantasy value.
Quarterback Stash Candidates
The Giants’ offense was not functional in Week 1. As a result, head coach Brian Daboll failed to name the Week 2 starter in his postgame press conference. We knew it was a matter of time before we saw rookie Jaxson Dart take the field, but it may be sooner than anyone expected.
