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.

October 3, 2016 by Brendan Cole

There were some interesting results at running back in week 5. Unlikely stars led the way and that will bear watching going forward. Isaiah Crowell, Jordan Howard and Terrance West all looked like legitimate starting running backs. The question is whether or not any of them can keep it up for the long haul. Week […]

Week 5 Waiver Wire Picks – Quarterback And Tight End

October 3, 2016 by Brendan Cole

There was some amazing quarterback play on display in week 4. Matt Ryan and Ben Roethlisberger destroyed the opposition, although most Ryan owners did not have him starting. Tight end was fluky as always, but some of the top tier talents are living up to their billing. Jordan Reed and Greg Olsen are looking like […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire Picks – Wide Receiver

September 26, 2016 by Brendan Cole

Week 3 was a tough one to predict as some very reliable offenses fizzled out. The Jets, Cardinals and Steelers all had very poor showings. This led to several quarterbacks and wide receivers leaving their owners high and dry; but week 4 is on the way and the slate will be wiped clean. Week 3 […]
