Top 15 Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

September 11, 2023 by Caleb Turner

With Week 1 closing down these 15 players showed future fantasy value and could be great pickups from the Waiver Wire.

Top 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

  1. Puka Nacua (WR/LAR): With Cupp out, it seemed the whole rams WR room flourished. A standout though was the rookie Puka Nacua with 15 targets, 10 receptions, and 119 yards. 
  2. Kyren Williams (RB/LAR): Williams stepped up when Cam Akers couldn't in their dominant win against Seattle on Sunday. Williams ended with 2 touchdowns and 52 yards on the day, while Akers only had 29 yards on 22 carries (1.32 YPC).
  3. Gus Edwards (RB/BAL): Edwards served as the backup in Baltimore but now with J.K Dobbins out for the year he could serve value in 12+ team leagues.
  4. Justice Hill (RB/ BAL): Hill scored twice in week 1 with J.K. Dobbins out. Dobbins being out the rest of the year, with a torn achilleas. Hill will have a larger role and could serve as a viable option in 12+ team leagues.
  5. Tutu Atwell (WR/LAR): Tutu was another Ram WR that prospered in Cupp's absence, catching 6 passes for 119 yards.
  6. Joshua Kelley (RB/ LAC): Kelley started off his season with 91 yards on 16 carries (5.69 YPC) and a touchdown. He could continue to find value behind Austin Ekeler and the explosive charger offense.
  7. Hunter Henry (TE/NE): Henry had a great night with 5 receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown. 
  8. Hayden Hurst (TE/CAR): Hurst hauled in 5 receptions for 41 yards and a touchdown in week one and prevailed as Bryce Young's favorite target.
  9. Kendrick Bourne (WR/ NE): Bourne had an outstanding showing against Philadelphia, with 64 yards on 6 receptions and 2 touchdowns.
  10. Rashid Shaheed (WR/NO): Shaheed caught 5 receptions for 89 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for 11 yards on 2 carries. He seems to be a trick play specialist for NO and shows value for proceeding weeks.
  11. Adam Trautman (TE/DEN): With starter Greg Dulcich out, Adam Trautman showed promising results having 5 receptions for 34 yards and shows as one of Russell Wilson's favorite targets.
  12. Donald Parham (TE/LAC): Parham with 3 receptions for 21 yards and a touchdown could show value if Gerald Everett continues to have a lack of performance.
  13. Zack Moss (RB/IND): With Deon Jackson and Evan Hull having an awful performance against Jacksonville, Moss is expected to come in week 2 and take over that RB1 job.
  14. Allen Robinson (WR/PIT): Robinson made flashes of his former self against the 49ers Sunday. With Diontae Johnson exiting the game at the start of the 3rd quarter, Robinson took over and hauled in 5 receptions for 64 yards.
  15. Logan Thomas (TE/WAS): Thomas had a solid performance with 4 receptions for 43 yards. He serves as a low-end TE1 for upcoming weeks and has touchdown upside.
