Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stash Targets

Running Back Stash Candidates

• Blake Corum (RB – LAR)
• Ollie Gordon (RB – MIA)
• Brian Robinson Jr. (RB – SF)

With a great deal on the line in the Rams’ divisional showdown against the Seahawks on Sunday, Blake Corum continued to see significant work behind Kyren Williams. Corum had eight carries and one reception. He remains one of the most essential handcuffs in fantasy.

Ollie Gordon continues to be the Dolphins’ primary goal-line back. In Week 11, he had 45 yards and a score on nine carries. Gordon has limited upside in the receiving game but is always live to score a touchdown.

Brian Robinson Jr. is one of the best backup running backs in the league. If Christian McCaffrey were to miss any time, Robinson would instantly walk into No. 1 RB usage.

Wide Receiver Stash Candidates

• Luther Burden III (WR – CHI)

Luther Burden finally passed Olamide Zaccheaus on the Bears’ depth chart in Week 11. He had a 61.1% route share with a 17.8% target share, per Pro Football Focus (PFF). He turned that into only three receptions and 28 receiving yards, but the bigger takeaway from Sunday is that Burden is finally emerging. Ben Johnson has been stubborn and holding back the talented rookie. As long as DJ Moore remains healthy and Chicago continues to feature a lot of 12/21 personnel, Burden is likely capped at a 60-65% route share, but that’s plenty of usage to produce Flex-worthy stat lines if the target share continues to tilt in his direction. Stash him now.
