The Best Waiver Wire Picks

The waiver wire is literally the single most powerful tool you can use to dominate your league. When hitting the waiver wire your goal is simple, replace your slackers with starters. You'll be temped to hold onto your draft picks because of the investment you made. Resist the urge to hold on to dead weight. Each season we see guys rise and fall. Drop the players that are failing and pick up the guys that are rising, it's that simple.

Weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4 are the most critical! During the opening weeks you'll see wide receiver battles flesh themselves out, typically at the WR2 position or slot. Running back platoons (RBBC) may change as one runner rises above the rest enough to warrant a starting position on your team. Tight ends that no one saw coming put together several strong games and become solid depth or trade bait. Lastly, quarterbacks and team defenses can be streamed. We publish the best waiver wire picks every week, see below for our most recent picks.

Week 14 Waiver Wire Picks – Running Back

December 5, 2016 by Brendan Cole

Week 14 Waiver Wire Picks – Quarterback And Tight End

December 5, 2016 by Brendan Cole

There were a few strong storylines in week 13, but none stuck out like the impossibly bad performance of Colin Kaepernick. What the hell?! I have never seen an NFL quarterback play most of a game and not even reach double digit passing yards. It would be interesting to know how many teams lost out […]

Week 13 Waiver Wire Picks – Wide Receiver

November 28, 2016 by Brendan Cole

With injuries piled up around the league, wide receiver play is tough to predict on a weekly basis. Schedule will determine the top performers in the fantasy playoffs, but the potential difference makers can still be acquired in many cases. Week 12 Recommendations Results (Standard League Scoring) · Tyler Boyd CIN – 5 receptions 62 […]

Week 13 Waiver Wire Picks – Running Back

November 28, 2016 by Brendan Cole

Week 12 featured some nice performances from running backs that looked set for big seasons. Mark Ingram and LeSean McCoy showed up for the first time in a while. Their owners may be out of the playoff hunt, but if not I’m sure it was a welcome boost. There are not many stud backs left […]

Week 13 Waiver Wire Picks – Quarterback And Tight End

November 28, 2016 by Brendan Cole

Some unlikely players put up big numbers in week 12 (Trevor Siemian and Matt Barkley?!). While those performances are tough to predict, there are still some trends that can be exploited. Just look at the 49ers offense if you want to find a difference maker that is probably available. Week 12 Recommendations Results (Standard League […]
