Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups to Target

Tyler Allgeier (RB – ATL): 33% Rostered

Next Opponents: CAR, @NO, NYJ
True Value: $4
Desperate Need: $6
Budget-Minded: $2

Analysis: Writing about Tyler Allgeier in the waiver wire column has become the most stable thing in my life. In a fantasy football world that turns upside down each week, it’s nice to know that an elite backup and potential Flex play is waiting for you on the wire. Bijan Robinson is the focal point of the Falcons’ offense, but when they want some powerful downhill running, they aren’t afraid to turn to Allgeier. In Week 10, this turned into 11 carries for 57 yards and both of the Falcons’ rushing scores in a loss to the Colts. With an incredible three-game schedule coming up, Allgeier should not only be rostered in all leagues but potentially placed into your Flex if you need a quick fix.

Alec Pierce (WR – IND): 42% Rostered

Next Opponents: BYE, @KC, HOU
True Value: $12
Desperate Need: $16
Budget-Minded: $8

Analysis: Well, Alec Pierce did it again. Pierce’s exploits against single-high coverage have been well covered in this article in previous weeks. Last week, Pierce faced a Falcons secondary that utilizes single-high coverage at the highest rate in the NFL, and Pierce soaked up a 26.9% target share and churned out 84 receiving yards and a score. He entered Week 10 with a 27.6% target share, 3.69 yards per route run and a 32.5% first-read share against single-high coverage, per Fantasy Points Data. Pierce should continue to eat in the weeks to come. Looking at the Colts’ remaining schedule, the only defense that doesn’t deploy single-high on 50% of their snaps (or more) is Seattle. Pierce will have plenty of spike weeks to conclude the season that can help tilt fantasy matchups in your favor.

Jacoby Brissett (QB – ARI): 20% Rostered

Next Opponents: SF, JAX, @TB
True Value: $5
Desperate Need: $8
Budget-Minded: $3

Analysis: The year is 2025, and Jacoby Brissett has finished as a top-12 fantasy quarterback in four consecutive games. This is the world we live in. With Kyler Murray on injured reserve (IR) and the new Call of Duty being released on Friday, it’s all systems go for Brissett. Whether he has faced good defenses (like the Packers and Seahawks) or bad defenses (like the Cowboys), Brissett has thrown for more than 250 yards and two scores in each game. He also has 15 rushing attempts in his last three games, further boosting his fantasy floor. If you recently lost Jayden Daniels or have been piecing together the position, you may have found your quarterback to start down the stretch.

Cade Otton (TE – TB): 41% Rostered

Next Opponents: @BUF, @LAR, ARI
True Value: $1
Desperate Need: $2
Budget-Minded: $0

Analysis: Entering Week 10, in his previous four games, Cade Otton had a 19.2% target share with 59.3 receiving yards per game, 2.14 yards per route run, and a 12.5% first-read share, per Fantasy Points Data. He had another strong outing against the Patriots in Week 10 with a 27.9% target share, nine receptions and 82 receiving yards. I don’t want to chase last week’s production in the next two weeks with tough tight end matchups. Otton will be a strong streamer in Week 13 against the Cardinals, though. Arizona has allowed the seventh-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to tight ends.
