Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stash Targets
Running Back Stash Candidates
Blake Corum gets weekly usage and has clear upside if Kyren Williams were to miss time. After fumbling and being benched in Week 5, Corum returned to his usual role on Sunday, playing 12 snaps to Williams’ 40. If you have deep benches, Corum is worth rostering. If Williams misses a game, Corum instantly becomes an RB2 in a top offense.
Tyjae Spears has the potential to take over the Titans’ backfield. Currently behind Tony Pollard, Spears doesn’t have an especially high bar to clear to seize a lead role. The entire Tennessee offense desperately needs a facelift, and Spears has the potential to deliver a much-needed spark. As the lead pass-catching back, Spears is positioned to chip away at Pollard’s role. Spears is worth rostering for his contingency value as well as potential to take over the Titans’ backfield.
Kyle Monangai is a less exciting version of Tyjae Spears, without the explosive ability or draft capital. But like Spears, Monangai is operating behind a mediocre veteran. D’Andre Swift‘s 2025 performance has left a lot to be desired. Despite competent offensive line play, Swift is averaging a measly 3.3 yards per carry. We have seen rookies increase their roles as the season progresses, and Monangai’s aggressive running style could lead to more opportunities.
Isaiah Davis is the next back in line behind Breece Hall, with Braelon Allen expected to miss 8-12 weeks with a knee injury. The value of the Jets’ lead back role is closely tied to quarterback Justin Fields. We have seen that good defenses can ruin Fields’ ability to move the offense. Considering that the 0-6 Jets run the ball on 44% of their offensive snaps, this rushing attack can produce two fantasy-viable running backs. However, this will be specific to positive matchups against defenses that are exploitable on the ground.
Wide Receiver Stash Candidates
Darius Slayton is worth an IR stash if he’s on the waiver wire in your league. Jaxson Dart looks like the real deal, and the Giants continue to open up the passing attack with Dart getting more comfortable. Once Slayton is healthy, he could develop into a solid weekly Flex play during the most pivotal weeks of the fantasy season. In Weeks 10-17, Slayton has five plus-matchups against the Bears, Lions, Patriots, Commanders and Raiders. He could easily be a WR3 for each of those matchups. Stash him now.
We see this every year. After the bye week hits, rookies get a bump in usage. Luther Burden could easily see this happen, as the Bears are coming off their bye. Burden has been solid when on the field this season. Despite a 20.3% route share, Burden has produced 3.19 yards per route run and 0.76 fantasy points per route run, per Fantasy Points Data. In an expanded role, he could be an immediate WR3 weekly and vault over DJ Moore in the Bears’ target pecking order. Burden is a sneaky upside stash.
