Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups to Target
Parker Washington (WR – JAX): 18% Rostered
- Next Opponents: @HOU, LAC, @ARI
- True Value: $3
- Desperate Need: $5
- Budget-Minded: $2
Analysis: In Parker Washington‘s last game before the Week 8 bye, he had a 77.2% route share, a 20.8% target share, 52 receiving yards and a 17.9% first-read share, per Fantasy Points Data. Washington already looked to be emerging in the Jaguars’ passing offense, but then, in the run-up to Week 9, Travis Hunter sustained a knee injury and was placed on injured reserve (IR). Washington entered Week 9 already looking like a strong Flex, and then Brian Thomas Jr. sustained an ankle injury on Sunday and Dyami Brown sustained a concussion. Washington assumed the No. 1 WR role for the offense. He finished with a 26.4% target share, eight receptions and 90 receiving yards. Washington will be the team’s No. 1 WR moving forward until Thomas returns to the lineup. His upcoming matchups aren’t great, but he’ll still see plenty of volume to be a strong Flex proposition.
Tank Bigsby (RB – PHI): 26% Rostered
- Next Opponents: @GB, DET, @DAL
- True Value: $5
- Desperate Need: $7
- Budget-Minded: $3
Analysis: From being traded to the Eagles shortly before the start of the season to potentially being Philadelphia’s starting running back this week against the Packers, Tank Bigsby has had a wild ride. Saquon Barkley left the Eagles’ Week 8 win over the Giants with a groin injury. Although he tried to go back in, the game was out of hand, and the coaches kept him off the field. Since the Eagles were on bye in Week 9, we’re still awaiting reports updating his status for Week 10. As a result, his practice participation this week will be telling. Unfortunately, that will be after waivers run in most leagues. Personally, I believe Barkley will play, but Bigsby should be rostered just in case Barkley is out. The matchup against the Packers is tough on paper, although the Packers allowed Rico Dowdle to run for 130 yards and two touchdowns in Week 9. Before that, Green Bay was allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to the running back position and had given up the third-fewest rushing yards. I wouldn’t overspend on Bigsby, as Barkley will likely be back in Week 11 even if he does miss Week 10. Either try to get Bigsby for cheap or let someone else blow their FAAB.
Alec Pierce (WR – IND): 26% Rostered
- Next Opponents: ATL, BYE, @KC
- True Value: $4
- Desperate Need: $6
- Budget-Minded: $2
Analysis: Alec Pierce against single-high coverage is feeding families. Pierce entered this week with a 29.5% target share, 4.33 yards per route run and a 33.3% first-read share against single-high coverage, per Fantasy Points Data. Pittsburgh utilizes single-high at the third-highest rate in the NFL. Pierce ate the Steelers alive with a 26% target share, six receptions and 115 receiving yards. He’s poised for another strong stat line in Week 10 against an Atlanta secondary that utilizes single-high at the highest rate in the NFL (72%). The Falcons’ secondary has also been leaky since Week 4, giving up the seventh-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Pierce should smash again this week.
Sam Darnold (QB – SEA): 37% Rostered
- Next Opponents: ARI, @LAR, @TEN
- True Value: $2
- Desperate Need: $4
- Budget-Minded: $1
Analysis: Sam Darnold is like rye bread. He’s not the best option (white bread) nor the healthiest (whole wheat), but he’s a solid choice that leaves you satisfied. With three top-10 fantasy finishes on the season and three finishes between QB18 and QB24, Darnold has upside with a relatively safe floor each week. In Week 10, the Seahawks face the Cardinals, who entered Week 9 surprisingly allowing the 10th-fewest fantasy points to the quarterback position. On a team with Jaxon Smith-Njigba and two quality running backs, Darnold is a solid fantasy play each week.
