Woof. Quite a week for injuries. 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
*Deshaun Watson (HOU) – He was the top of our priority list last week, and should not still be available in your league. However, if he is, you better scoop him up. 10 touchdowns over his last two games, with 5 coming against the 5-0 Kansas City Chiefs. Unreal.
Jacoby Brissett (IND)
RB
*Jerick McKinnon (MIN) – We were on the Murray train last week, but that one lost steam shortly after leaving the station. McKinnon dominated backfield touches on Monday Night Football and, quite frankly, is the better back in Minnesota. He’s especially useful in PPR formats.
Marlon Mack (IND)
Matt Breida (SF)
Elijah McGuire (NYJ)
WR
*Sterling Shepard (NYG) Likely already rostered in your league, Shepard is one of the only WRs on the Giants that isn’t going be miss significant time. He and tight end Evan Engram will be in line for a ton of targets going forward. Worth an add in all leagues, where available.
Roger Lewis (NYG)
Mike Williams (LAC)
Kendall Wright (CHI)
TE
David Njoku (CLE)
