RosterWatch Week 16 Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet Now Available

Building a championship-caliber fantasy roster requires basic weekly waiver-wire management. We’ve created the Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet so that in a just a few minutes a week, our users can make the same expert waiver maneuvers we personally make in our own leagues, throughout the season.

Whether you play in a standard waiver-claim format, or in a free-agent bidding system – we’ve got you covered. Read the chart top to bottom, and use it like the Draft Cheat Sheet. It’s not mandatory to go after the very top pick up every single week – use some basic discretion. Insane value can be cultivated through the bottom of the Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet over the course of the season.

All players listed on the WWCS are currently on the waiver wire in at least 50% of fantasy leagues across all major formats.

*Our advice is to recycle an average of 1-2 players per week from the bottom of your roster into hot waiver-wire pickups for the current week. This can be accomplished via waivers, or on the cheap as free-agent pickups post-waiver period .

    Semi’s this week! DK put me over the top last week by 2 pts with that last Seahawk drive. Some Qs for this week.
    1) can I trust Derick Henry? Should start one of these instead – likely (have Njoku at te), j Warren, flowers, Reed, — also Addison and n Brown on waivers.
    Thanks

    One more than the ship! With Lamb as my WR1. I am wondering who I should start as my WR2 between Puka, Waddle, Cooper and Addison? Should I be to concerned with Puka and Waddles tough matchups?

    Also wondering with Kamara and White as my RB1 and RB2. Who should I start in my flex between the other WRs listed above or Saquon against the eagles? Thanks guys.

    14 team, .5 ppr, 1 flex spot. Need to fill RB, TE, and Flex. Which one of these fellas do I leave on the bench: LaPorta, David Montgomery, Johnathon Taylor, or Jake Ferguson.

    Going to ask this question the “Alex Way”. Mike Tyson walks up to you smacks you in the side of the head and says I need a QB to help me win this week what are you going to tell him…He lost Herbert in a 16 team dynasty league and here are his choices Heinicke, Rudolph, Keenum, Tanehill and Stick. He has the most FAAB $$$ and can get 3 or 4 of them as well looking ahead to week 17(Super Bowl) as well…Thanks for all you do guys….

      that’s a tough break, we don’t have rankings done for this week but since it’s a waivers question, I’m guessing you need to get this done before our rankings model pulls in everything. I like Tannehill most of those guys if he plays this week, maybe would like Willis best too if he was named starter with Levis having to sit out. Those two would get HOU the next week. I would typically like Keenum in that same game, but stroud will be back by then. Tough spot, glad you have a good team around those guys. GL

    Hey guys, we are a lot better at answering sit starts as we get closer to the games, we don’t have the rankings model ready by Wednesday morning, it’s more of wednesday night thing. we’ll circle back around.

    Who to start, Stafford or Love??? Stafford may be playing in the rain in LA…

      Still prefer Stafford. Bad matchup for Love

  7. ↓ Post By oscarandrade2@icloud.com

    OR is picking up Jake Browning a consideration aside from having Stafford or Love??

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      We like Browning more than Love but still prefer Stafford

    Okay RW we are at the final stretch lets bring home those Chips.
    – In a full PPR 6pt TD and 1 pt completion would you play Flaco over Goff.
