Every Tuesday starts the same way for me: I enter wire waiver requests for the coming week, then wait to see if fortune favors my selections when waivers continue until Wednesday. evening.
Sometimes you get the player (s) you are looking for, sometimes the player (s) land on someone else 's list.
But it's far from the end of the process. In fact, the end of week 7 was an example exactly this. A gust of Friday in the news of the runners quickly changed the waiver activity. Carlos Hyde was traded to Jacksonville, pushing Nick Chubb into the spotlight of Cleveland. The short-lived Marshawn Lynch short story would have triggered a series of questions on the theme of Jalen Richard and Doug Martin. Dalvin Cook was dismissed for week 7, prompting many people to rush to the waiver line to recover Latavius Murray (who, Friday afternoon of week 7, was still available in around 45% ESPN leagues).
The delivery? Treat your waiver request as a one-week exercise, not just an attempt from Tuesday to Wednesday. This is the starting point. Watch for daily drops / additions, keep your radar abreast of whimsical news throughout the week and always consider the list of disclaimers. The ideal composition requires special attention.
The idea being that it is only the first step of the process, here is our overview of the best available in the addition of ESPN Week 8's e-mail thread. Fantasy. Keep searching all week!
Reminder: Players must be available in more than 50% of the leagues on ESPN.com to be eligible for this column. Teams on leave this week: Chargers, Cowboys, Falcons, Titans
Jalen Richard, RB, Oakland Raiders (17.1%): Marshawn Lynch is expected to miss about a month because of an injury, but the Raiders have some work to do. Doug Martin (also in this column) feels like the best bet to get a job at the lowest and rushed attempts, but he has been a runner below average this season. Richard, who has played four games with at least six catches this season, is expected to experience more play, faster use and continued involvement in passing games.
Doug Martin, RB, Oakland Raiders (17.0%): If Martin absorbs the role of Marshawn Lynch (which is not a guarantee) or a close facsimile, he should line up for almost 15 touches per game (Lynch had 17.5 per game this season) . Martin is not an exceptional player and I would not be surprised to see other people involved too, but from the point of view of volume, he is considered by the radar as a potentially flexible game.
Kenjon Barner, RB, Patriots of New England (0.1%): We do not yet know the severity of the injury of Sony Michel for the Patriots, but we know a lot: the team has only two other half-offensives, including Barner. Although it seems likely that the team will add another player this week, keep an eye on Barner as a deeper addition to the league. It is a high octane crime.
Tyrell Williams, WR, Los Angeles Chargers (8.4%): The Chargers are not up to it, which hopefully will not calm Williams' red. Although he has not yet had more than five targets in a match this season, he is catching a high percentage of his targets with a lot of potential. He had seven catches for 236 yards (33.7 on average!) And two touchdowns in the last two weeks. Its value is similar to that of DeSean Jackson.
Chris Ivory, RB, Buffalo Bills (8.4%): After LeSean McCoy left the team's game against the Colts early due to a head injury, Ivory played a significant role in the backfield. He rushed 16 times for 81 yards and three catches for 25 yards. If McCoy is unable to play Monday night against the Patriots, Ivory is on flexible radar.
Raheem Mostert, RB, San Francisco 49ers (3.9%): Mostert has played a stable role over the past two weeks, providing a spark to a 49ers running game that has suffered a myriad of injuries this season. While Matt Breida was already playing in pain and getting worse during Week 7, Mostert recorded 11 hits with 11 points in total, for 11.8 fantastic points. This is a major asset in the league whose value could increase rapidly if Breida's injuries persisted and cost her plenty of time to play.
Tre Quan Smith, WR, Saints of New Orleans (8.7%): This is an added value for a player whose value is much more appealing to me than the 7th week's score suggests, as he only has 44 yards on three catches. But he saw six targets and the Saints faced the best defense they will likely play all season. Smith has played a significant portion of the catches and is the vertical threat of one of the league's best passing fouls. An addition to the rise.
Wendell Smallwood, RB, Philadelphia Eagles (43.4%): It's a definite time-sharing in Philly's backfield, which could be even wider if Darren Sproles returns this week (which seems likely), but Smallwood led the Eagles' back for the second week in a row . In a deeper league, it must be listed given its current use in an offense that may be excellent.
Danny Amendola, WR, Miami dolphins (24.4%): Amendola earned his best game as a dolphin, scoring six catches for 84 yards and one touchdown. The Dolphins should be stripped of Albert Wilson in week eight, probably Kenny Stills, and DeVante Parker was inactive in week seven. Amendola seems locked in a leading role for Miami this week and can be considered a flexible game in the PPR 12 leagues or larger.
Kapri Bibbs, RB, Washington Redskins (0.5%): While Adrian Peterson continues to run so hard for the Redskins, Bibbs was lucky enough to replace Chris Thompson in the seventh week. He took advantage of this opportunity by catching the passes, bringing four of his five targets for 43 yards and goal. In a deeper league, he would be on the radar again in Week 8 if Thompson sat down again.
Ito Smith, RB, Atlanta Falcons (45.0%): We will update this entry after Smith's Monday night performance in football, but he will have to stay busy for the next eight weeks while Devonta Freeman will be on the injured list (and possibly the entire season if Freeman does not return). Smith should see a steady dose of work alongside Tevin Coleman and scored a touchdown in three straight games. He will be on the weekly Flex radar.
Baker Mayfield, quarterback, Cleveland Browns (40.5%): Mayfield started the first of a four-game series against teams ranked in the last five places in terms of fantasy points allocated to the opposite quarter of Week 7, scoring 20.9 points against the Buccaneers. It was not a dominant performance, but he threw the ball 34 times, hooked for two touchdowns and rushed for 43 yards. Then a clash with the Steelers, in which I think he will have to throw it again.
C.J. Uzomah, TE, Cincinnati Bengals (36.0%): The choices are slim at the end of the season this year, Uzomah being one of the best options for adding and using for week 8. He found the end zone in week 7 and played a ton of shots for Cincy since Tyler Eifert's recent injuries. and Tyler Kroft. He will then face the Buccaneers, a team that has struggled to defend his pass throughout the season.
Chris Godwin, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (46.1%): Godwin is playing in one of the happiest offenses for the passes in the NFL, already accumulating four games with a touchdown this season and four games with at least five catches (including his effort of week 7). When you enter deeper leagues and start looking for flexibility considerations, a player like Godwin must be on your radar. It's a talent.
Jack Doyle, TE, Colts of Indianapolis (25.9%): It's not easy to line up two tight ends and we do not know when Doyle will come back, but he feels too good to hide. In the two games he has played this season, he has totaled 15 targets and is part of the Colts' high-powered offense. Given the leanness of the position, Doyle should figure in almost every league.
Benjamin Watson, TE, Saints of New Orleans (31.8%): The tight end position may be difficult to find and accurately assess their prospects. So, although Watson is not necessarily a very tight player, he is playing in a formidable attack and has four games with at least four catches this season. He will be ranked in our top 15 tight innings each week.
Cole Beasley, WR, Dallas Cowboys (22.7%): The Cowboys are starting their week off. You will have to wait until the ninth week to consider using Beasley. With 16 assists in his last two games (and three with seven catches this season), he is a wise addition to a deeper PPR league. The Cowboys' attack has improved slightly over the past two weeks, which may be a sign of the future, especially with the acquisition of Amari Cooper on Monday.
