After a few weeks plagued with injuries, we start to get into the thick of bye weeks. 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 bye-week replacement or depth at that particular position, and are in order of our preference.
QB
Not a ton of great pickups at QB this week, so we’ll give you the top few streaming options:
Andy Dalton (CIN) vs IND
Tyrod Taylor (BUF) vs OAK
RB
*DeAndre Washington & Jalen Richard (OAK) – Marshawn Lynch lost his appeal, and will serve his one game suspension this week. He’s also looked pretty bad thus far. Both Washington and Richard have looked better, and will be in line for a lot of work this week. Tough to tell who will be the better add, and either could bring value to a lineup in need, but most signs point to Washington being the better bet of the two. One might even emerge as the starter over Lynch!
Marlon Mack (IND)
Dion Lewis (NE)
WR
Kenny Golloday (DET)
JuJu Smith-Schuster (PIT)
Kenny Stills (MIA)
TE
Tyler Kroft (CIN)
DEF
*Cincinnati Bengals vs Indianpolis Colts – Everyone on the Bengals is a high caliber stream this week. The Colts’ defense is awful, and the offense is inconsistent at best.
