![]() I'd grab Crowder as an add-and-stash in 12-team or larger leagues. While Elijah Moore will likely be the slot receiver of the future, Crowder is a useful piece of the passing game this season and until Moore returns (concussion). The slot option hauled in seven catches for 63 yards and a touchdown during the Jets' first victory of the season. Jamison Crowder, WR, New York Jets (14.2%): Making his season debut in Week 4, Crowder did what he normally does: piled up targets and produced. He's a deeper league add to stash, especially as benches become more useful when bye weeks pick up. But all that throwing has helped the value of Gainwell, who had six catches in Week 4 and three in Week 3 despite playing a decidedly smaller number of snaps than Sanders. While Miles Sanders is the starter, he has just eight carries over the past two weeks, with Philly's porous defensive play forcing the offense to throw a ton. Kenneth Gainwell, RB, Philadelphia Eagles (24.7%): The Eagles' backfield is tough to size up right now. A useful add-and-stash or deep-league flex. Sanders has not lost his speed, is an exceptional route runner, and plays with one of the best quarterbacks in football. It's clear that he's the Bills' number two wide receiver and his volume is steady: He has seen at least six targets in all four games this year. Tight end is the hardest position to find consistent production in fantasy, and even with Schultz playing alongside Blake Jarwin (who also found the end zone), he's proved there's plenty of fantasy points to be had.Įmmanuel Sanders, WR, Buffalo Bills (44.4%): Another week, another five catches for Sanders. He has scored three touchdowns in those games and now has exactly six catches in three of their four games this season. Perine has filled in on occasion for Mixon in the past, and while he's clearly not as explosive or adept in the passing game, he's useful enough that he should be added in all leagues.ĭalton Schultz, TE, Dallas Cowboys (20.9%): The Cowboys have an endless supply of pass catchers, and Schultz has been scorching over the past two weeks. While rookie Chris Evans could figure into the mix as well, Perine has the likelier shot at a steady workload. Samaje Perine, RB, Cincinnati Bengals (1.5%): With news from colleague Adam Schefter that Joe Mixon has a low-grade ankle sprain that has left him week to week, Perine profiles as the next man up in the Bengals' backfield. Should Williams miss any time, Khalil Herbert is the only other running back on the active roster and should be added as well. The Bears are thin at running back - especially until Tarik Cohen returns - making Williams an essential add. ![]() Williams did deal with a quad injury late in the game, though there are no indications on the severity as of yet. Williams handled eight carries, scored a touchdown and caught two passes, one area that he especially excels in. Note: All players listed below are available in over 50% of leagues on ESPN.ĭamien Williams, RB, Chicago Bears (10.4%): The Bears were dealt a major blow when starter David Montgomery left Week 4 due to a left knee injury, opening the door to Williams stepping into a larger role. Maybe the insurance back to your best running back. Maybe a backup quarterback whose matchup you like when your regular starter will be on a bye. But now is a good time to see if you might be in need of a bench wide receiver who has a high floor. There isn't a guarantee that every week will include a bunch of must adds. ![]() And that's my bit of advice for you as you ponder the waiver wire this week: Take a good, hard look at your roster and size up what you most desire. The fantasy regular season is more than a quarter of the way through and right now is about when you know what you need. Somehow, we've made it almost one quarter of the way through the NFL's regular season.
