Your draft day lineup letting you down? Looking to scoop the top waiver wire add for the week? While still early, pickups from now on can have a big impact on your chances of winning the title. The following players should be the top waiver wire priorities for the week.
Keep in mind, only players with an asterisk are “must-adds” for the week. The other players are ones that can be added if you need a replacement or depth at that particular position, and are in order of our preference.
QB
Trevor Siemian (DEN)
Jay Cutler (MIA)
RB
*Chris Carson (SEA) – On our list last week, this is probably your last chance to scoop Carson. He looks to be the back to have in SEA, though there still seems to be a bit of a Running Back By Committee (RBBC). That said, he will continue to get lots of work. Get him now.
*Buck Allen (BAL) – Same thing here. If still available, you better scoop now.
Chris Thompson & Samaje Perine (WAS)
WR
*Rashard “Hollywood” Higgins (CLE) – Corey Coleman has a broken hand and will likely be out a few weeks. Higgins caught 7 passes on 11 targets for 95 yards last week in his absence, and will be DeShone Kizer’s favorite target while Coleman is out. In an offense with very few options, he’s a must add.
J.J. Nelson (ARI)
Jermaine Kearse (NYJ)
Kendall Wright (CHI)
TE
*Hunter Henry (LAC) – Henry should be rostered in ever league already. However, there is undoubtedly some people that dropped him after Week 1’s zero target catastrophe. That was a mistake, and if he’s available in your league you need to get him.
Evan Engram (NYG)
Ben Watson (BAL)
Zach Miller (CHI)
